Everyone has to have passions. Mine happens to be movies. Why not tell motorcycle enthusiasts that they're wasting their lives? Model train builders? Book fans? Etc. Etc. Ad infinitum.

Our passion just happens to be Star Wars. Yeah, we've spent money on it. We've collected the toys, read the books, watched the movies, talked about it with friends, debated it, and frequent websites about it. The same goes with anyone with passions. I don't feel like I've wasted my life. My wife might tease me for being obsessed with it, but c'est la vie. There might be some people who need to get a life because they take it too far and, as I said in my first post, you just have to control your level of obsession. I can't speak for all Star Wars and scifi fans, but I know I don't go overboard.
