I know Star Wars has quite a bit of influence my phone has a Star Wars ring and message alert tone and has a Star Wars skin on it as does my Ipod. My computer and laptop have Star Wars desktop themes and half my wardrobe is taken up by Star War EU paperbacks.
How does it influence your life?

I find your lack of faith disturbing
I wake up to the U.K quad poster on the wall each morning and memorabilia around the place.
My laptop has a Star Wars wallpaper.
At work, my locker has news cuttings stuck to the door by work colleagues such as 'Drunk dressed as Darth Vader' 'man dressed as Darth Vader holds up a bank', Carrie Fisher says "George told me no underwear in space" and things like that.
None at all, I'm afraid, except as a cautionary tale whenever I feel the need to fix something that's not broken.
Star Wars has a mild presence in my world compared to most fans. I read a select few novels somewhat regularly and I listen to the NPR version a few times a year.
Oh - and I'm a moderator on a Star Wars forum. ;-) In that regard it's very influential, although it has little to do with the movie itself.
Other than popping on this site to check up on a couple projects I'm following, it has no influence at all really. I actually don't own anything Star Wars related. I love the original film and Empire, but that's as far as my fandom goes.
I pray to my life-size golden C3PO idol every morning, afternoon, and evening for about an hour or two.
Other than that, no influence really.

I own most of the films on crappy ol' VHS, own a bunch of Star Wars novels, and I'm obsessed with getting my hands on some graphic novels/trade paperbacks - of which I own none - but beyond that, the franchise has no real influence on my life.
If you were to ask my 10-12 year old self, though ...

I have a '78 "Circus" poster framed on my wall that I see everyday, and a screensaver on my laptop that I made from photos of the recent Technicolor screening.
I have a shelf unit in my closet that was filled with SW memorabilia that I just transferred into a large plastic storage box, because I desperately need the shelf unit to store actual clothes!
I get a knot in my stomach when my mind drifts to the blu-ray release and the current state of affairs.
I check in here once a day, and about once a week at the SW facebook page I made.
That's pretty much the extent of it, these days.
I walk by my movie shelf several times a day and it has this really absurd gap in it.

TRANSLATING...
DARTH SLIM meant:
Yeah, I really know what you mean there. I spend most of my younger years fuming over the fact that my much older cousin won a competition and got to meet David Prowse in full Darth Vader costume. That lucky [obscenity]. Life's just not fair. haha
I changed some of the wording for clarity, but really all he needs to do is use punctuation to delimit sentences.
I think he means Prowse did a public appearance in costume...
EDIT:timdiggerm beat me to it. ;)
Where were you in '77?

no I mean they won a competition to meet him, obviously at an event of some sort and he was in full costume/rig whatever you want to call it, but they did meet him in private not just as part of a large group or something like that.

I don't know if there's any way to tell you this without sounding sarcastic, because any attempt to say "I'm not sarcastic!" sounds like sarcasm, but...
Thank you for using these! :)

There was one time that I did not perform a Jedi hand wave when I came to an automatic door. Apparently the automatic door was broken, It did not open.
How ever I was running at the time. I ran Wright into the door.
Now I always give automatic doors the JEDI test.

I usually have to trail behind someone else when I go through those things as they tend to either not open or close just as I'm half way through.
A great deal actually....I have stuff all over the house, collect action figures, phone background, ringtones, etc.!
Family Guy...
*sigh*
