Hello there

I just wanted to come in, say hello and introduce myself I also wanted to say thanks for the helpful threads in the thread index. Becasue the Council Forums are so huge and intimidating, it's a comfort to know that there are many other new folks who feel the same newbie fears!

So, in the words of Dr Nick, "Hi everybody!"

 

Hi Jag4Me, pleased to meet you! That's a good question to ask and a hard question to answer, but I think my favourite thing in the entire saga is the force, it's philosophy and nature. If that makes sense!?

I also like the glowing sticks!

How about you, what are your favourite things? If I may ask, what does your name mean and where did you come up with it?

 

If you understand the EU, it makes a lot of sense. Trust me, I've had to learn it really fast.

Anyways, welcome!

 

Thanks, JediGunship. I like the EU but I find it hard to keep up with so I mainly limit my EU experiences to games and Darth Bane novels. Perhaps a search of wookieepedia will answer my question?

 

I haven't read any EU stuff in years, and that wasn't very much, considering how much reading material there is out now.

 

Thank you Jag4Me. With Star Wars, it's hard to come up with a short list of things that are cool and when discussing those things with non-fans, you feel a bit of a gushing fool!

I admire your dedication to novel line. As JediGunship said, there are so many books to read that it can be hard to find a starting point.

 

Thanks for the tip! I can't help but find myself sucked into Drew Karpyshyn's Darth Bane series, If I'm honest. I also like Karen Travis' Republic Commando series as it contains everything I was hoping for after watching AOTC. Ages ago I read the Thrawn trilogy but I think it was over-hyped and I expected more than was delivered.

I'm quite tempted by NJO, didn't Karen Travis write a book or two for it?

 

Welcome to the Boards Dark-Fox.

Have you read both the Darth Bane books?

 

I gotta get me Order 66! Probably wait until it gets published on paper-back, though. I love big hard back books but my other-half gets annoyed by them: "they take up too much space etc..."

I do like the Star Wars games and just completed TFU last night! Makes me want to read the novel, now ou mention it. What a great game though! TFN has a link to TFU Downloadable content - Excellent news!

How about you? Do you play the games?

Thanks for the welcome Mister_Master You a Darth Bane fan?

Only read the first one so far. Again, it's the hard back issue my girlfriend has I humour her, but I'll win this argument 'coz I bought Path of Destruction on hard back! I'm gonna order it from amazon soon.

 

Hey Dark-Fox!

Don't worry, I usually have no idea what people are talking about with EU though, either. The only EU I've read is like half of the X-wing series. But now I've learned quite alot, just from reading the boards! So it's all cool. I'm jealous that you've played TFU, I can't wait to try it.

Have fun on the boards!!

 

Speaking of that, I have X-Wing books 1-6, along with Book 1 of LotF, sitting on a shelf in my room, unread.

 

You should read the X-Wing books! Right now!

 

Thanks Snowspeeder_gunner! These boards do look like a fun and enjoyable place to spend time and I look forward to learning more about the aspects of Star Wars that I'm not clued up on!

 

School and the forums take most of my time away, so I haven't really had a chance to read them.

 

I'll have to look into reading this X-wing trilogy. I'll try and beat you to it, Gunship, and add another voice to the chorus of "you must read"

 

I thought you were talking about the little chemical sticks you can get at the skating rink.

That's what I like about the SW universe, anyway.

 

Why does it feel like we're creating a social thread?

 

I have read both Darth Bane books. I loved both of them.

There isn't very many of the SW games that I haven't played and won.

I hope you enjoy the boards Fox.
