Fangirls are highly active female (yes, oddly, female) Star Wars fans. Exceedingly rare, they somehow manage to take center stage in many Star Wars fan communities.
[Edit] Common fangirl activities
A healthy collection of Star Wars merchandise is likely to litter the floor (and desk, and dresser, and bed) of a fangirl's personal quarters. Manga (womankind's answer to comic books) is likely to be the only literature that outnumbers Star Wars novels in a fangirl's collection, which never fails to feature The Courtship of Princess Leia and Tatooine Ghost. Action figures of personal crushes such as Commander Cody (how he can be "better" than other clones eludes male fans) are often present.
Fangirls are often frequent readers—and writers—of fanfiction. Typically these stories center on the romantic involvement of two characters that never paired up in the Star Wars galaxy. The fangirl's typical obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi usually ties up half of each fantasy union, which may or may not involve the fangirl writer's self-based Mary Sue character.
Vastly outnumbered by fanboys, fangirls find themselves completely surrounded at Star Wars conventions. Exchanges of URLs, e-mail addresses, and Wookieepedia usernames are requested on a near-constant basis. However, fangirls may find some shelter at such events by hiding amidst a sea of fanboys' girlfriends.
