Who SAYS Star Wars fans aren't hip? The hottest social networking site out there, the famous (and sometimes infamous) MySpace is filled to the brim with Star Wars fans and thier trappings. Big time organizations like TheForce.Net and Master Replicas have MySpace pages. A search for "StarWars" in the video section gets you over a thousand hits, far more than any other search I've tried.

If someone has a Master Replicas FX lighsaber, its a forgone conclusion that they've got a short video of them swinging it around on MySpace. In Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy's riff of Episode I, when Obi-Wan loses his saber, Kevin says "Aww, man! I was going to make a sweet video of me using that and post it on MySpace!"

So, is this a good thing? Obviously, its another awesome way for the Star Wars community to get together without actually getting together, but MySpace draws heavy fire a lot for being a popular internet social site. Is it really a good idea to get caught in all that? Or will the privacy and child molester nuts not worry too much about a bunch of Star Wars nuts populating the site they so disdain?

Now before you all smash me down for being anti-MySpace, you should know I personally love it, have a page, and nine of those thousands of "StarWars" videos are mine. I just got to thinking about this after reading yet another article about how dangerous MySpace is to kids today.

What are your thoughts?
