As the Star Wars room gets put together I'll attempt to let you know how it goes. I'm so excited to get the room finally a step closer to completion. Still awhile to go though. Even the person who is doing the work for me is giving me ideas. I'm living in a home that's been in my family since it was built & I'm 4th generation in the house. If my grandfather were still alive he'd probably cringe a lot, but I think he'd get a kick out of it when it gets done.
I have a 12x14 room that is all paneled, but I didn't want to paint so the walls are now all covered with material. The room will, we hope look like outer space. We still need to cover the ceiling with material. I prefer not painting because the ceiling is only 1 yr old & it took 5 yrs to get the ceiling repaired---looooonnnnnggg story. I figured if the day ever came & Star Wars turned me off, which unless I sell the house, I can't forsee it happening for at least the next 50yrs or so, then the next owners of the house can just remove the cloth & they're back to a plain old room.

My name is Hector.

I live in Orland Park with my wife and 16-month-old son.

I'm a financial analyst for a telecommunications company.

I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 3 years old and saw the film in its first run in 1977.

Been reading theForce.net since 1998 as the hype for the Phantom Menace was beginning to build. Been here ever since. More of a reader than a poster.

My area of collecting is focused on prop replicas and I am a member of the RPF and the TDH.

Hoping to get out to a CF event soon. My last one was the midnight showing of ROTS.

Hector

Welcome, Janqui & Prof. X. . .
By the bye, I appreciate an unapologetic fan of the prequels or anything (although personally, I believe Ep I probably paid mortgages for more than a few therapists). But are the two of you EU fans?

I have a library of Star Wars books. I've read quite a bit of the EU books. I like the fact it fills out the Star Wars Universe & extends it. I'm not into the graphic novels or the comics, but I do have a few of each depending on the titles that I liked.

I was just in Mokena today visiting some friends. Small world. We are all closer to each other than we imagine - always good to hear that there are Star Wars fans in the southwest suburbs.

I sold a Master Replicas Darth Maul lightsaber prop to a fellow in New Lennox recently, so I know we're around. I even ran into a guy from Orland Park at C3.

Awesome.

Hector

For dorky n00bs who don't know anybody. BTW none of us knew anyone else at one point....we were all once just twinkly little lights in Jesus' womb.....or so that old tale from the sea goes.

Don't know what else to say really. ANH was the first movie I saw as a child. It totally spoiled me. It's the only sci fi I like (unless LOTR counts as sci fi). Right now I'm really into the Clone Wars novels.

Welcome. The Clone Wars were very popular at the book club.
My favorite is Dark Rendezvous.

Hang on....leave your toys. And leave. grin
