“This isn’t the pen you’re looking for,” I said. My classmate remained silent after he asked me to return his pen.

“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for,” I said. “Jedi mind trick. No? Nothing? OK.”

While I appreciate his gesture of lending me a pen, the fact that my classmate had not seen “Star Wars” — or couldn’t for the life of him remember where he’d heard that line before — saddened me.

Anyone who has failed to witness the glorious 377 minutes of the Original Trilogy should jump off their couch, dash to the closest retailer and purchase a Blu-ray copy as soon as possible.

But what if there was a way for one to avoid that and still manage to watch the magnificent space opera at the RSC?

I will rejoice the day someone takes the initiative to start a movie club on campus. Even though I would love to participate in it, I am reluctant to start one of my own.

I’ve never thought of myself as much of an event planner, and leading a group like this would require effort and patience beyond my capabilities.

I’ve met scarce people at Wichita State who possess vast film knowledge. I make “Star Wars” and “Back to the Future” references here and there, yet that hardly turns me into an erudite on the subject.

Nevertheless, my interest in movies fuels my desire to learn more about them each and every day.

Naturally, I value the great efforts of Netflix to further my education on cinema, but it’s not enough.

Movies warrant discussion and criticism, as well as an attentive and fascinated audience. As much as I enjoy re-watching “Reservoir Dogs” at three in the morning, it makes for a shallow experience.

What baffles me is that people always want to talk — and even argue — about TV shows. Whether it’s the disputed “How I Met Your Mother,” finale or the latest episode of “The Walking Dead,” nearly everyone’s got an opinion on the matter.

Yet when I ask a classmate what he thought of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” he spouts a mere two-word answer: “Pretty good.”

Of course, an effective film club would also feature TV series that excel in their field.

Just a quick Google search tells me the University of Minnesota, Georgia State and Boston University all boast some semblance of a film society — why can’t we?
