Greetings! You have taken your first step into a larger world!

How did you get started on SW: ("Hello, My Name is Jennifer, & I've been a SW addict since I was 7. . ." - It's fun to share this one).

I'll start off as an example:
Name: Matt (JediRacer, not your SFFF Matt)
Age: 35
Location: Pasadena, CA
SW Related Interests: I'm a big collector of Star Wars stuff and I like to wear my Jedi and Rebel Trooper costumes any chance I can get.

HOw did you get started on SW: I saw Star Wars for the first time in 1977 when I was 7 years old, and it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I've been a huge fan ever since.

So introduce yourself and make new friends!! There's nothing greater than a group of people who share Star Wars as a common interest.

Name: Ming
Age: 24
Location: San Francisco, Ca, USA North America, Earth, Milky Way
SW Related Interests: TMTC (too many to count)
Non-SW Related Interests: Shania Twain, Smallville, fitness, weaponry, archery, fire arms, fighting techniques, biotechnology, animals, DVDs, and tearin it up with my Rogues!
How did you get started on SW: started? I never stopped... I think I was 5 when I saw ANH and watched like 50 times or so until my aunt took the tape back. When I was my last year in middle school I wanted to see it again and it kinda snowballed too here as CR of SF Fan Force and I think rather infamous for knowing way too much about every tiny detail about SW and beyond (EU, games, etc.)...

SW Related interests: costumes, props, fan films

Non-SW Related interests: writing, Linux, leather working, politics (but, hey, who DOESN'T like discussing politics?)

I got started on Star Wars when I was about 9 or so. Mostly I just wanted my own lightsaber, but now I really want to be a Jedi. I'm pretty close; all I need is the Force and a lightsaber. I got the nifty pajamas and the beard.

Hi, Lady Sami here.

Known as: Anne1 (there's another Anne in the SFFF)

Location: beautiful downtown Concord, CA

Age: Hey, you know better than to ask a lady her age! (See below)

I collect stuff, but not obsessive about it. wink

How I got started in SW: Saw the orginal, best and greatest SW first in 1977 when it was first released as only STAR WARS, no Ep. IV, A New Hope. I was 27 at the time, you can do the math.

Other interests: All SciFi, LOTR, I also knit, crochet, sew and cook. Read constantly. Rock music, and classical (but not opera!), jazz and the Beatles.

Name: Bob
Age: 43
Location: Vallejo

SW Related Interests: Costuming, scripts, gaming. Some collectibles, but nothing extensive.

Non-SW Related Interests: Writing, Drawing, Reading (SF/Fantasy, Techno-Thriller, Laurell K. Hamilton, History, Philosophy), Collecting Soundtracks, Photography (occasional hobby), Magic (sleight of hand)

How did you get started on SW: Was in high school, classmate who claimed that a guy named John Dykstra was his brother-in-law collared me and said, 'You have GOT to see this film!' We caught the early afternoon show at the Coronet (there were maybe, what, 50 people there). I started calling other friends and took them to see it ... my Dad used to ask, "Haven't you already seen that?" Finally joined 501st Legion in 2003 and donned stormtrooper armor (hey, don't look at me like that, I had Jedi robes before I had armor).

I've never looked back!

Name: Leah

Age: 23 (Born in '81)

Location: Brentwood (Not the OJ one...)

SW Related Interests: The movies, ILM, Lucas...it's just an interesting bundle of things! I loved Skywalker Ranch and wish I could go there again!

Non-SW Related Interests: I love riding my dirt bikes on the weekend with my roommies. I am also currently obsessed with CounterStrike: Source.

How did you get started on SW: Actually, I got started with the Ewok movies...when those were checked out from our local Video Cinema, my parents would just rent Return of the Jedi for my sisters and I instead. It wasn't until I was in my early teens that I realized ROTJ wasn't an Ewok movie...so I decided to watch the rest of the Trilogy, and then fell in love!

I am so excited to start learning more about the SW story, and everything that goes with it! I am looking very forward to possibly attending C3 this year. If I go, it will be my first convention of any sort, and I think it would be a great way to start!!!

name: Anne M (since there seem to be quite a few Annes here)
age: 28 in a few days
location: Berkeley, CA
sw related interests: the movies. used to be into the toys (action figures and vehicles)...well I just haven't bought any in years,I still like them happy , some of the comics are kinda cool. George Lucas and Carrie Fisher have been big influences on me from a young age.
non-sw related interests: good movies in general, Sigur Ros, Sweden, Ingmar Bergman movies, X-Files
how did you get started on sw: I don't really know...I've always been into SW. I saw ANH the first time it was on tv when I was 4 or 5. But the first one I saw in the theater was ROTJ. I think my dad and playmates were the ones originally responsible for getting me into SW. Basically I have no memory of life before SW <g>.

So, how do you become a part of this group? I've lived in Berkeley for a little over a year. I used to live in Modesto, CA, and there was nothing like this near there.
