Star Wars Geek Code
Guy Puzey
Okay, so you call yourself a true Star Wars fan? Well, tell the world!
Use the following code in your .sig file, to tell how much of a fan you
are, who your favourite characters are, etc.
I would very much appreciate comments, suggestions etc. to my address
(guy....@virgin.net)
The Code:
Start the code by identifying it with an SW1.0. The SW is for Star Wars,
and the 1.0 is the version number.
btw, the first half of the code only applies to The original trilogy
(Episodes 4, 5 and 6.), the Holiday Special, cartoons and the books!
The Characters & Vehicles:
Use these with the characters codes:
- - - Really don't like this character
- - Don't like the character.
- Don't like this character much.
(Nothing extra): No feelings either way.
+ Like this character.
++ Like this character a lot.
+++ The best!
Apply these too!
> I want to be more like this character.
@ I look like this character
% I sound like this character
& I don't look like this character, but I do a good visual impression of
this character
# I don't sound like this character, but I do a good vocal impression of
this character.
* I behave like this character in real life.
! I am attracted to this character

LC - Lando Calrissian
BF - Boba Fett
JTH - Jabba the Hutt
MR - Max Rebo
OO - Oola
BI - Bib Fortuna
SNT - Snowtrooper

Limit it to a few. You may not even want to bother with the vehicles
section.
For things omitted, write the whole thing, for example Star destroyer or
make up your own abbreviation ie. SDR
For the following , these symbols can be used-
> I will go out of my way to try (sorry do or do not there is no try) DO this!
/ My opinion-state verges between the two!
Are you a real FANBOY/FANGIRL?
f--- Star Wars, Pleeeeeease! Grow up!
f-- I don't like Star Wars.
f- I can't be bothered!
f Star Wars is neither bad or good.
f+ I like Star Wars. What's a prequel?
f++ I really like Star Wars. I will see TPM.
f+++ I love Star Wars! I have seen the trailer on my computer, on the TV
and at the cinema. It's great! I can't wait 'till May 21/July 26 in UK!
I am prepared to cue for a month! I am packing my bags to go to be an
extra for Episode II in Australia (Unless I am Lincoln!) I go to
http://countingdown.com/starwars every day!
Net activity:
Website/newsgroup/discussion activity:
n--- Star Wars gets worse on the Internet!
n-- I really like flaming on the newsgroup.
n- I'd never bother to discuss stuff.
n No feelings about discussion
n+ I read discussion messages as often as I can
n++ I discuss somewhere every day.
n+++ I contribute to every thread on the group, everybody knows me/I am
Lincoln/I am the author of this code/I have a website that I update at

f I have a Star Wars Download site
n I post Star Wars news/rumours/geekcodes
b I have a Star Wars BBS
p I have Star Wars pictures (fan posters, wallpapers)
s I have Star Wars sound files

o Other
Cash
Money spent on Star Wars merchandise in your lifetime. This can be
converted to any currency. You may need more plusses if you live in the
Ukraine.
£ £0-20
£+ £20-50
£++ £50-100
£+++ £100-300 (I hope you enjoy reading Chronicles)
£++++ £300-1000 (I hope you haven't been arrested for buying the
trailer)
£+++++ over £1000 (now there's a real fan!)
Favourite film
ANH - Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope
ESB - Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back
ROJ - Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi
SWHS - Star Wars Holiday Special
DTV - Droids cartoon
ETV - Ewoks cartoon
Now, place a star (*) and enter the year you first saw ANH, then a
hyphen and the year you first saw ESB, then another hyphen and the year
you first saw ROJ and another star (*). This only applies to the whole
film, not a trailer or when you passed through a room wher it was on.
Then put in the relation to you of the person that introduced you to the
Star Wars Universe eg. BROTHER, AUNT, BEST FRIEND. If you introduced
yourself, don't put anything.
Now, your code should look like this (this is mine!)-
SW1.0 LU+ HAN++> LE++ Y+ R2++ C3++% OB1+++*% f+++ n++/+++ Inpswo
£+++>+++++ ANH *1995-1995-1995* BROTHER
Now to Episode I.
Start with TPM1.0 then characters (same modifiers as before)
QGJ - Qui-Gon Jinn
OB1 - Obi-Wan Kenobi
PAD - Queen Padme Naberrie Amidala
Y - Yoda
ANA - Anakin Skywalker
JAR - Jar Jar Binks
R2 - R2D2
PAN - Captain Panaka
RIC - Ric Olié
SHM - Shmi Skywalker
BOS - Boss Nass

VAL - Supreme Chancellor Valorum
3PO - C3PO
MW - Mace Windu
WLD - Wald
JTH - Jabba The Hutt

APR - Anakin's Pod Racer
GUS - Gungan Submarine
FLT - Federation Large Transport
STAP - STAP
QPS - Queen's Personal Starship
GIN - Gian Speeder
TXI - Coruscant Taxi
Same applies for omitted ones!
Then do the newsgroup thing again (In this instance, it can be a
different amount of plusses).
Do the DATA (I) thing again. This time, though, an extra 't' can be
added for the trailer.
Now put in a big 'T' and type in how soon after the trailer became
available for download did you see it.
24 hours
1 week
2-3 weeks
1 month
2-5 months
6 months
1 year
1 year+ (Have you seen the film yet??)
Now type which version of the trailer it was
Scorpio - the fan version
Cinema - At the cinema
TV - On TV/Video
Official - (Download)
Now type a 'CIN' (for cinema) and put a Y after it if you have seen the
trailer at a cinema and an N if you haven't. If you have seen it at the
cinema, type what film accompanied it.
MSKOFZ - The Mask of Zorro
ABL - A Bug's Life
RH - Rush Hour
ANTZ - Antz
B2 - Babe 2: Pig in the City
please let me know what other films you lot have seen the trailer with.
If the film isn't there, either contact me - I'll put it in the next
version or make up your own abbreviation.
Now type 456 (fro Episodes 4, 5 and 6) and place a Y after it if you
think TPM will be/is better than any of the three originals and an N If
you believe the opposite is true.
Enter your sex (M/F), age and nationality. For example F15UK. If you
want to give the year of birth, you can, ie. M1984USA.
Now this part of the code should look like this-
TPM1.0 QGJ+++> OB1+++> PAD+++# Y+ ANA+ SHM+ R2++ 3PO+++% MW++ VAL+++
PRA++ N1+ n+++ Inpsot T1weekScorpio CINY MSKOFZ 456Y M1984UK
Now put them both together to come up with something like this -
SW1.0 LU+ HAN++> LE++ Y+ R2++ C3++% OB1+++*% f+++ n++/+++ Inpswo
£+++>+++++ ANH *1995-1995-1995* BROTHER TPM1.0 QGJ+++> OB1+++> PAD+++#
Y+ ANA+ SHM+ R2++ 3PO+++% MW++ VAL+++ PRA++ N1+ n+++ Inpsot
T1weekScorpio CINY MSKOFZ 456Y M1984UK
There we go!
May the Force be with you!
This is a play on the original geek code, so no disintigrations - sorry
