Labels are silly, and a day isn’t lived until I’ve overthought something, yet words are still supposed to mean things. Words are labels for other words and somewhere down the line they hopefully describe some sort of reality. To label oneself a Star Wars fan, one must define these words. The fact that so many people have different definitions for these things seems to erode the meaning of the label, in the case of Star Wars more than other properties.

My ultimate point, if there is one, is that there are no Star Wars fans, since there is so little agreement on what constitutes Star Wars.
