Social Newbie Welcome Party - The House-Warming Party!

I wish I could speak a second language. I took Spanish for a dozen years in school and can barely hold a conversation

 

English, Spanish, French, took Portuguese but forgot half of what I learned in Portuguese it's an easy language to pick up. I'll get back it again before world cup Rio 2014. Oh yeah hello just got on this today, I'll go hide in Hoth for a bit and get the full experience of the winter season.

 

Welcome to the JC! Where are you from?

 

Hi there! I guess you could call me a 're-newbie'. I've been away for a loooong time. I was here a lot during the Star Wars Episode IV 30th Anniversary days. I had such a grand time in LA with plenty of my fellow fans! I still like SW but the frenzy I was in died down along with my participation on this site. I see some things have changed since then and I need to get reacquainted. The astounding news that George Lucas sold SW and the wonderful news that there will be another trilogy has brought me back and stirred the fangirl embers within me. When I'm not dealing with Real Life, I look forward to getting all 'StarWarsy' again here. To ease into things I think I'll...jump into the Chocolate Pool!

 

Hey, can anyone tell me where I can find all the Star Wars avatar pictures that everyone seems to have for their profile? Thanks.

 

Welcome back, Anapad_Nabooine ! I hope you stick around for a long time. We'll be fangirling and fanboying (yes, I know those aren't real words ) for a long time now!

Jason, everyone finds his or her own photo and uploads them as avatars. If you're having trouble, I can walk you through it. Is there anything in particular you want?

 

Thanks, NYCitygurl! I'm definitely getting into SW again. I rewatched the Prequels last week and now I'm working on the Originals. The only thing is I don't have the original version of TESB or ROTJ. I have GL's enhanced 2004 versions. After watching ANH in its "pure" state (because I can't stand to watch any version of it in which Han doesn't shoot first), I feel the need to watch the rest of the trilogy as I saw them back in the '80s. So I've just placed an order on Amazon and can not wait until I have them in hand!

 

Nice! I think that's an excellent purchase I think my movies are all on VHS--which could be a problem, since I think we got rid of the VHS players ... I might need to follow in your tracks!

 

morrison85 hasn't been around lately. I hope that all is well with her.

 

I don't own a Blu Ray player Actually, I don't technically own a DVD player; I just use my computer

 

I always thought there was somewhere on the boards a repository of the various avatars people had created. Maybe that didn't survive the transfer? I don't know where to find a suitable SW avatar. I was thinking something with Luke or the SW/James Bond mash-up pics.

There was (I actually used to magane it), but it didn't survive the transfer. Because this system allows people to upload their own icons (which the old boards didn't; you could only choose from the bank), we decided to just let everyone do as they wanted. You can probably find the image you're searching for on Google.
