A replacement for the titles

I read that you were thinking about replacing the "Padawan Learner", "Ready for the Trials", etc titles from next to our names.  I had a suggestion for a possible replacement that I mentioned on the Empire Strikes Back Revisited thread:

 

I think that the area next to our names that currently have our "ranking" that they're considering getting rid of should be replaced with things like "Purist" (original versions or death), "Revisionist" (changes/prequels aren't bad, but need tweaked), "Lucas Fanboy" (Lucas knows whats best), or others things we could choose in our profile.  That way you'd know who you're dealing with without them harping on it.

 

It's not the best of ideas, but who knows what people will write if given free reign to their title?

 

EDIT: It was pointed out that "Lucas Apologists" might be a better term for the last one.

(Half your post title is missing. You may have suffered from the "editing a post with quotes in the title" bug.)

I like the idea in principle - instead of a title related to how many posts a user has made, they categorize themselves into the type of Star Wars fan they are. The drawback is that we are no longer solely a SW site, a wide variety of other movies are represented in the second fan edit/preservation forum.

Last night, I dreamt that I wrote The Lord of the Rings. I was Tolkien in my sleep.

This is true, but we can have choices for them as well.  I figure most, if not all of the people here are Star Wars fans, even if they edit other films.
