Hey, sweetie, wanna come back to my pad and check out my Y-wing fighter bed?
Wait, where are you going? I've got a Darth Vader helmet too!

Wait! I was going to bulls-eye your thermal exhasut port!

There's your mistake. Some women don't like exhaust port sex.

But, I used to bull's-eye womp rats back home... they're not much bigger than that.

"Special" decor sometimes goes the way of the dodo with new owners.

When I was about 12, my parents allowed me to select the carpeting for my room in our new home. I chose two-inch, dark purple shag.

Years later, mom and dad were only able to sell the house on condition that they replace the carpet in my bedroom with something remotely normal.

On the flip side, when I sold my condo, the new owners were thrilled with the big jungle mural (painted by my very talented mom) in the guest room.

In the case of the Star Wars room, it's quite possible it will not survive a sale intact. It's a bit.... much.

When we were house hunting in the late 90's for our new home it amazed me how many houses people showed with the most hedious decor or color match. Some of them had really nice design layout in the physical plant but who wants to move in and have to do a ton of work at great expense replacing what is obviously not a popular color selection in paint, carpet, or in the case of Star Wars decor a deal killer in a sale.

Yuppers. In my case, I had the entire condo freshly painted (ceilings too, and that was some job, given that the place had 10-18 foot high vaulted ceilings throughout) before selling, but left the mural in case someone really liked it. I would've been happy to paint it over if it was a deal breaker, but I got lucky and mom's beautiful mural lives on.
