We recently acquired two death star molds. Unfortunately, one of the top pieces appears to be out-of-spec, and leaks unless you get the pieces together just so. Our older Vader heads are easier to deal with, being upside-down cups, more or less.

Right (assuming it’s OK to mix universes like this)? Except the exhaust port is where you put the water in. ::sadtrombone::
These have become the favorite ice in our house. One Han Solo is the perfect size for a Manhattan, and the dog loves to crunch on them. And there’s endless comedy in watching her carry Han Solo in carbonite around the house.

Why was it necessary to gender the headline?
“Fanboy” is pretty much considered gender-neutral as an expression of a fan of things. It’s been used for movie titles, for example. Is there a better gender-neutral term or is fanboy/fangirl the accepted terminology?
“Fanboy” is about as gender-neutral as “congressman.”
As long as “fan” exists, why bother gendering it for a gift guide at all?
Because “fanboy” is generally used for fans in general.
You came back after two years to complain about a ‘gendered’ headline?
“Fan” and “fanboy” have somewhat different connotations and I’m not sure if there’s a gender-neutral equivalent for “fanboy” that’s worked its way into our popular lexicon yet.
(Example)
Fan, upon meeting George Takei: It’s an honor to meet you sir!
Fanboy, upon meeting George Takei: OHMYGOD IT’S REALLY YOU please you have to answer an argument I’ve been having with this douchebag in the TOS forum I moderate about how Sulu was promoted from being a helmsman on the Enterprise A to getting his own command of the Excelsior between the events of The Final Frontier and The Undiscovered Country, he said that that’s a totally unrealistic career arc but I disagreed and even outlined my own fanfic scenario in this screenplay I wrote do you think you could show it to Paramount for me?

“Fangirl” exists and is widely used.
It’s bizarre to me that, on this website of all places, people would double down on an unnecessarily gendered headline. I think this is probably where I first learned about women’s enthusiastic participation in (and organization of) early Star Wars fandom.
And that’s why I specifically asked you if you would prefer the headline to say “fanboy/fangirl” or if a genderless word is preferred, and what it should be. Duly noted.
“Fan” is not gendered and would, in my opinion, be the obvious choice.
