    Hello @atreides602 , I have been here about a month and a half and it is really awesome! I too was lurking for a long time.....actually it was the traumatic shutdown in early February of the IMDB message boards that sent me here (I was an IMDB member for 10+ years). Best decision ever! I have learned so much about SW and great to be with those that share the passion! What is Romania like, I have never been there? I live in the USA , in Oklahoma.

    Thanks for the warm welcome ; about Romania , what can i say ? we have a say here : beautiful country, too bad it's inhabited :D

    if you are young and don't give a ... about tomorow it's the place to be : beautifull places to see, a lot of beautifull girls , cheap booze;

    if you're a grownup and have to provide for your family , not that good , well paid jobs are rather hard to find, last economic crisis hit us pretty bad.

    Greetings, my name is BaranDo(If anyone can guess the name and where it came from, you'll get a cookie). As impiled by my membership, I am a big diehard SWs fan. I always have been. Like many, I grew watching the OT, specifically with my uncle when I was little. My attachment to SWs was always very casual for a long time. That was until I played KOTOR. KOTOR to me is a treasure of a game. It had a wonderful story, amazing characters, excellent gameplay and very much showed me why the franchise was so great.

    To best describe my love of KOTOR I say this. Those fans who hold the OT in high regard; I do so for KOTOR and I really do believe it is the magnum opus of the franchise. But that is another discussion. And since that point I have loved Legends and have been liking the New Canon. A lot more lately even more than the movies.

    Outside of SWs, I am a huge anime fan. I've seen hundreds of different types of anime and consider myself a conessuer. I even have learned to speak Japanese. But that is less due to my love of anime and more of my love of the culture. Heck, I just recently visited Japan. In my spare time, I work as a financial consultant, helping less fortunate families manage their finances and help them save. It can be hard, but I find it fulfilling. And a part of me always feels like a Jedi when I am able to help someone out of a tricky mess.

    My other hobby includes writing. Whether it be economic pieces but more so fiction. A part of me really wants to publish a book one day. And I owe my inspiration to George Lucas, who I see as an incredible man who beat all the odds and produced something amazing. I doubt I'll produce anything of his caliber but really he is what I can hope to live up to in terms of producing a work that has touched the hearts and minds of millions all over the world.

    Alas, this post might be too long and I apologize. But overall, I look forward to exploring this forum and getting to know everyone. May the Force be with you all.

    Welcome to the Cantina, BaranDo!
    Unfortunately I don't get your name, so I'll let someone have the cookie. ;)
    Thank you for sharing so much about yourself, that's fantastic! KOTOR is remarkable, everything that should be a SW game is there, as you've said.
    While I'm not much of an anime fan, many other patrons here are, so I'm sure you can find time and places to discuss that too!

    Wow, your job sounds very fulfilling. I'm glad we have people like you here.

    I hope you enjoy the Cantina! If you have any questions, thoughts, or comments, feel free to contact the Staff or the forum moderators and we will respond.

    Thank you very much, and I'll be sure to take advantage of the staff. And yeah; I do like my job. If there is one thing SWs taught me, it was how to be a good person and try your best to help others.

    You're welcome.
    Absolutely, one of the best things about the movies. Can't wait to see what the Sequels will teach us!

    Hello to all, from me, CloneTrooper95! I found this site (and the Cantina) a while ago, and thought it was just awesome!

    Yes, I was one of those "lurkers" (for some reason - why?); this is indeed my first journey into forums, or any social media. The positive atmosphere is great!

    As my avatar name may indicate, I've been a Star Wars fan for over twenty years (wow). I love collecting Star Wars merchandise, but really like the gaming aspect even more.

    I'm looking forward to a great year for Star Wars! Then again, isn't that why we're all here? ;)

    @CloneTrooper95 Welcome! Yes this is a great place to talk with great SW fans. I learn a lot here every day.....I've been a SW fan for 40 years. Saw the original in the theater in May 77 - I was an impressionable 12 yr old at the time. Loved it then and ever since. Now I am trying to expand my horizons and learn from all these really smart SW folks here....have you read any SW books and if so, which ones?

    Hello @Lock_S_Foils and @Stormagadon - glad to be here!

    I was first introduced to SW when I was about that age...and I've loved it ever since.
    I've just started reading SW books in the last year and a half...some novels (I liked the Aftermath trilogy), some reference, and some graphic novels/comics. Most of what I've read are new titles, but I'll likely read some Legends stuff soon.

    I'm truly enjoying this new era of SW!!

    Son of Suns/Wayward Jedi here. Big SW nerd since childhood, like so many others.

    Here's a link to my YT channel where I discuss Star Wars topics in-depth :) I started this channel as a hobby because I'm just so excited about the future of Star Wars. Not only the resolution of the Skywalker saga but where the franchise goes after Episode IX as well. Super stoked about all the books, comics, and video games that will come in the future! George Lucas said they can keep making Star Wars for 100 years, that's good because that means I'll be dead before it's over :D.

    Hi everyone I'm Darth Lunya. Totally wish I was a dark lord of the Sith. (red)

    I grew up during the prequels but of course loved the original trilogy and all things Star Wars. I never realised the beauty of the Star Wars community until recently and so decided I wanted to get involved. Star Wars fans tend to be really open minded about many things and this is something I really admire in people.

    I have never been part of a forum before. I don't fully understand forum etiquette so forgive me if I do something a bit daft.

    Look forward to making some friends on here and seducing you all to the dark side! (vicious)

    Hey - I'm still figuring it out too. But that is the fun part IMO.

    Welcome to the Cantina.

    Dark side? ... Light side? ... it's like Almond Joy and Baby Ruth - "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't" (that one might be before your day)
