Hello from Buckinghamshire, UK!

Hi my names Chris, 23 yr old from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. I've been obsessed with Star Wars ever since I watched ep4 as a child. Now I follow the saga and the expanded universe on a daily basis.

My fanatical friend and I are constantly talking Star Wars at work but recently started to wonder if there were any like minded people in our area to get together with on a larger scale, I vowed to find such groups, as they must exist!!! And here I am.....

We recently travelled over to Northolt to go to the www.jedi-robe.com charity day, which was a hoot! See if I can get some pictures up here...

This was the first Star Wars related event I had attended after missing out on good tickets for Star Wars in Concert, and I enjoyed it so much I want to attend more in my local vicinity hopefully with a full jedi replica costume from the jedi-robe shop (which are hand made awesome-ness) [image=http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs061.snc4/34437_167554749926160_100000149074483_612117_1759120_n.jpg]

For me personally the original Saga will always be the eppitamy of Star Wars, but I do enjoy the prequels, the EU (currently reading the Han Solo trilogy) and games; played Star Wars: Galaxies from release up untill its death not to mention Knights of the Old Republic 1/2 and too many others to list. Eagerly awaiting the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, which I follow the development of every week and it's going to be a belter

I suppose all that's left for me to do is get involved in the forum, I suppose I'll be perusing the UK: South and UK: London chapters and looking out for events of interest.

 

Hello and welcome.

Ooo, the Han Solo trilogy. Love it.

What class are you looking forward to playing the most in TOR?

 

Yeh I am enjoying the trilogy so far, always been a fan of Han. RE; SW:TOR I've never been so internally conflicted, I was a Master Bounty Hunter in SW:G and that was fun as it fits into my personality, but then I'd really like to play a jedi, thats what its all about right? but then I have 2 problems, 1; dark or light? I'm much more of a "grey" jedi in real life and 2; will they be too common? Always like to be doing something slightly different. So maybe i should play smuggler?

theres soo much conflict within me, I dont think ill go trooper as I can pick up halo or medal of honour and wield a big gun. Ill probably either decide closer to the time or leave it upto instinct when im creating my character . Who knows it could turn out to be a wholey replayable game (which i think is one of their aims) that doesnt reward someone for sticking to one character after finishing the main story arc or whatever........who knows!!! excited though

 

Hi Chris, welcome aboard.

Nice pics, looks like a great day. And I absolutely love your t-shirt.

Do check out your local FanForce - it's been a while since I last visited, but FanForce UK has always been a fun place to be.

Enjoy your stay!

 

Welcome to the JC!! Those pics look like a lot of fun

You should check out the three EU boards[/linnk] and our TOR forum!! I think you'll love them

 

Hi, Chris, welcome. You should definitely check out the EU forum and the Games forum as well. There's some good discussions on Halo and the new SW game. Have a great time.

 

Hi Chris

Welcome to TFN.

Don't know how easy it is for you to get to London, but there should be a London Collectormania at the end of November, which should sate the appetite of many Star Wars and SF/Fantasy fans.

If you check the London FanForce, I expect they will be arranging a meetup for anyone going.
