I guess that's really all that needs to be said, but I always feel like I should delve further, maybe ask what their favorite film is or something. The problem with that is, they might think I'm “testing" them, so...

That semi happened to me when I was waiting in line for TFA, but the man was so excited to talk to someone who knew what they were saying ("You know about Lawrence Kasdan!") and thanked me for the good conversation when it was time to go inside. I don't think you'd ask about the number of people on Hosnian Prime or something pedantic like that.

No, lol, definitely not. I'm afraid as much as I like Star Wars, I'm not all knowing and wouldn't expect others to know tons of trivia or be extensively informed on obscure info either. (It's awesome if they do and I'd be willing to listen, but hey.)

Having brief fandom conversations is fun and it helps when excitement and a friendly nature is involved, but it can get cringe worthy if someone asks you about something you have no clue about.
