    Hi!

    I'm Mathieu and I'm from Belgium. I've been a fan since I saw the OT rerelease in 1997 when I was 12. I'm 29 now. Used to read a lot of EU books but I think it's been 15 years since I last read an EU book. Can't believe it's been that long. Time really flies.

    I was really excited for Episode I and when I first saw it, I really liked it. I think I was also on these boards around that time (but never a really active poster). In the years following the TPM release, my interest in SW started to wane a bit. But I still enjoyed AOTC and ROTS. I guess I was mostly busy with other things in my life.

    When the news of the Disney transaction broke, I regained my interest a bit. But these last couple of weeks, with all these rumors flying around, it seems like it's 1997-1999 all over again. So I'm slowly getting back in full Star Wars mode! Exciting times ahead!

    Welcome Mathieu! :)

    Yeah, it feels a bit like that time, but somehow it's different - at least for me. I guess it's because of Disney and getting older. ;)

    Have you been a member here around 1998/1999 or later as well?

    Have lots of fum and ask us, if you have questions or need help. :)

    Yes I was. But definitely not later I think.

    It does feel different, but I'm actually surprised at how similar it feels at times.

    The biggest difference for me is the way the internet has changed. Episode I changed the way movies are followed on-line, so that was a great experience to be a part of. I have very fond memories of downloading that first teaser trailer (took me half a day or longer). It all seemed so magical. That magic is something that will be impossible to relive now.
