    Wow I just saw this introduction archive. I'm Wes from Cincinnati, Ohio. I've been a Star Wars fan for as long as I remember, incessantly watching it on tv as a kid in the early eighties. I'm elated to be a part of this community of true, non cynical fans. The fact that we're all going to see Luke Skywalker on the screen again thrills me beyond words.

    Hey, I'm JayNoSleeves,

    I've been a huge star wars fan stretching back to my earliest memory. I am 29 years old and I vividly remember the first time I watched The Empire Strikes Back, most of all the scene with Luke in the cave on Dagobah....slightly embarrassing but I remember burying my face in a cushion at seeing Vader's head cut off. And even more embarrassing it wasn't because it scared me seeing Luke's face in the mask or the head being chopped off, I was just mortified that my favorite character seemed like he'd just been killed....true story.

    I started collecting the Kenner Star Wars figures when I was really young, started off at car boot sales and charity shops etc... and has now turned into an ongoing obsession where I still collect them. I'm not ashamed to say that I still have every single one I ever got as a kid, as well as almost every figured still in the original packaging.

    Apart from that I was a long time lurker on these boards, I am a black belt in Taekwondo & a brown belt in Jiu Jistu.

    I have loved reading everyone's posts on this forum even before I joined, everything from speculation to trolling posts have made me smile and given me food for thought since day one.

    Hi everyone. I'm from Tasmania, a small island south of the mainland Australia. It's just starting to warm up here and very much looking forward to BBQ, beer and summer.
    Been a life long star wars fan. Can remember playing with my snow speeder, AT AT walker and countless figurines in my childhood. The films hold such a important place in my heart. Don't have many friends who love star wars as much as myself, so it was great to find a place i can be amongst like minded people. Apart from star wars, I'm a big fan of Australian rules football and support a club called Collingwood.
    Awesome forum. Love reading the speculation

    Hello Everybody,
    Best to say that I am a lifelong Star Wars Fan. Remember watching ANH when I was young and barely walking. ESB was mindblowing when I was young. I am now 33 years old and have to be honest...I have never been more into this world than I am now. I am a pastor in the United Methodist Church who loves the dynamic of dark and light found in the movies and enjoy checking this blog almost daily. Can't wait to see what JJ does.

    I have no shame, I love the original Kenner figures, just the girlfriend banished me to store them in a little room on the third floor!
    Thanks for linking me Echo, I keep meaning to look if there was a collectors section.

    No problem! :)

    With The Force Awakens forum dominating, people tend to forget that we pretty much have a forum for every possible Star Wars topic.

    Hi all - didn't realise this thread was even here until now for some reason.

    Been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. Work as a sub-editor for a little local newspaper here in the UK. Play and write a bit of music here and there, used to do a bit or art here and there before real life and bills and mortgages and things kicked in...
    Used to hang around various other SW messageboards during the prequel spoiler era, usually with this same username, so I know a couple of familiar faces here - in particular from one site which kind of died a slow and painful death after the dust settled on ROTS... which is kind of how I ended up here.

    Peace and love...

    hi all,
    my name is Seamus and have been a huge star wars fan all my life. Star wars became a part of my life when my older brother sat me down to watch ESB. The moment i seen Luke on the tauntaun i was hooked. Have always enjoyed star wars even the PT but loving being a fan at the minute because of my young family. To have them grow up now with all the new star wars movies,tv shows etc.. going on is just amazing and gives me a good reason to take out my star wars collection. The force has awoken in my house.

    About me,well i'm a keen motor sports fan and had worked in the motor sports industry for over 13 years but have decided to take a change and have returned to college. I still help out at local race tracks in Ireland in my free time. Im married and have 3 wonderful, amazing and beautiful children

    As i keep reading it really is a good time to be a star wars fan (at-at)(at-at)(at-at)

    Hello Everybody!
    My name's Paul from Austin, Texas. Unfortunately I was born the year after RoTJ was released, so I never got a chance to see the OT in their original forms in the cinema, but I can't remember a time when I didn't love Star Wars. My parents had Empire and Jedi--taped from HBO--in our VHS library. I couldn't get enough of them! I was a kid, so I had no qualms about watching them out of order (and frequently did). When I finally got to see ANH, I was blown away by the grandness of it all. My adolescence was spent collecting the Star Wars card game cards (I never quite got the hang of how exactly to play though) and religiously playing X-Wing on PC. I can't think of another film universe that has meant more to me than Star Wars (well, Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones are almost neck-and-neck with it). I'm glued to updates about the new films. Even though I know I should wait to be surprised, I just can't help myself. I recently discovered this forum, and it's been a life-blood since! So thanks everyone fer bein' here!

    Cheers,
    Paul

    Polyamarous here (Poly for short) love the website. Been looking for a like-minded place to talk everything Star Wars. I'm married with a beautiful 3 year old ewok named Madison (she watches clone wars). My wife hates Staw Wars and I've tried turning her to the dark side with no luck. That's about it, nice to meet you all.

    Did you explain the Dark Side has better cell phone coverage? Free cookies? Really cool headgear?

    Does she know joining the Dark Side is tax deductible?
    Did you try zapping her with a taser while yelling "Unlimited POWER"? (emperor)

    Did you explain the Dark Side is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, like finding parking places near the mall entrance on Black Friday?

    Does she know The Imperial March will play every time she walks into a room if she joins the Dark Side? That's my favorite perk, actually ;)

    If you've tried all that and she still won't convert, you still have your daughter. Raise her right and soon she'll enslave the Galaxy.

    Good luck!

    Hello all! I'm Johnny. I'm a musician/bartender/Army husband from Baltimore,but currently living in North Carolina. Been a SW fan/obessed crazy person since '77. I've been lurking around for a while. Love this site! Looking forward to contributing some thoughts and theories! I'm not a SW snob in any way. I'm just as much a fan of the PT,Clone Wars,EU and Rebels as I am about the OT.
    Cheers and May The Force Be With You~ Johnny

    I'm an illustrator who found the best Star Wars discussion board on the net and decided I had to join the conversation.

    Looking forward to the ramp up to Episode VII!

    All this pre release speculation and theorizing is a feeling I've not felt since..
