“They thought my Darth Vader Impression was just asthma”

Watch Stephen Colbert brilliantly break down the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. This is worth 5 minutes of your time. Giggle as Colbert turns into a child while watching the Milleninum Falcon’s fancy flying maneuvers. “Don’t get cocky kid!” Come on! You know you reacted the same way!

Watch the video. He’ll let you know why it’s good for society to have a black Stormtrooper especially for the Jawas, why his Aunt Rita is a racist, he will break down (with pictures!) how the new light saber (or manage a sabre) will work. Most important, he also explains why he’s a bigger Star Wars fan than you and me.

Stephen Colbert’s super fandom of Star Wars reminds me of his super fandom of Lord of the Rings that he shared with us when the Peter Jackson LOTR films came out. It truly makes you feel special. When he explains that after he saw the original Star Wars movie in 8th grade, he thought “everything has changed.” We totally understand. We get it. And to be quite frank (and cheesey) it feels awesome to be a part of this nerdy collective consciousness. To bask in the giddiness and excitement of it. No room for naysayers, let’s just enjoy this moment.
