I college I also dated a girl who had never ever seen any "Star Wars" movies.
Watching them with her was like seeing it for the first time. When she asked "Who does Leia end up with, Han or Luke?" I almost cried with joy.
Looking back, that's the only worthwhile thing I got out of that relationship...
That made me laugh out loud :)
My wife has virtually no interest in Star Wars aside from ROTJ (because of the "cute teddy bears") and AOTC (because of Hayden Christensen and "the love story"). Truth be told, she gets a far bigger kick out of watching me obsess over Star Wars than from watching the films themselves. She'll do things like quiz me on random Star Wars trivia, or listen to me quote the movies in time with the actors (bonus points if one of the movies is airing on TV, and I turn off the set in one room, and know exactly what line will be spoken when I turn on the set in another room).
In the end, even though she herself doesn't care much for the films, I think she kind of regards my level of Star Wars geekiness with a certain sense of pride. I think her proudest moment came at a Christmas party a couple years ago when I beat another self-professed Star Wars geek guy at Star Wars trivial pursuit in two turns.
That being said, she still doesn't understand why anyone needs to own six different versions of a film, or how buying a stormtrooper outfit can be considered a good clothing purchase :)
