Ten things Star Wars has taught me

1. Red lightsaber = Sith, any other colour = Jedi.

2. Always double-check - they just might be the droids you're looking for.

3. Although they are the elite soldiers of the Empire, a stormtrooper couldn't hit a broad side of a barn with his blaster.

4. 10,000 credits - you could buy your own ship with that (but who's gonna fly it, you?).

5. Get to know a girl before you embark on a romantic relationship. She may be from the other side of the galaxy, but it's highly likely she's your sister.

6. Han Solo knows you love him.

7. Admiral Ackbar is the king of stating the obvious (it's a trap!).

8. If you're white, British and human, you've got great prospects in the Imperial armed forces.

9. The rebels may be fighting to end the oppression of the evil emperor, but they don't mind a bit of Wookie discrimination in their award ceremonies.

10. "I've got a bad feeling about this" - an appropriate response to most perilous situations.
