    I used the old Obi-Wan Kenobi icon all the way through my first 7,999 posts. Obi-Wan, to me, is the second most powerful Jedi next to Yoda. Now that I understood the PT a little better, his sacrifice in ANH such that Anakin will live is that much more poignant. When I hit 8,000 posts, I needed a change and a fresh look. I officially switched over to young Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'll most likely stay with this one until at least 15,999.

    Usually I just go with my namesake (before there was one of Bria Tharen, I went either with Han, Leia, Lando or the old Rebel symbol), but right now I'm having fun using icons I created. :D

    EDIT: JediYvette, more than one person (including myself) has made a Daala icon. Go over to the Custom icon thread and post that you're interested in one. ;)

    I am still floored that TF.N allowed that icon to be used. It's not that I don't find it funny. It's just that it's really right on the line of being acceptable versus not.

    I chose this one because there isn't a blue lighsaber icon that I like. I know that there is an Old Ben icon with the blue saber, but I wanted something different. Besides, it looks really cool.

    Because I've always liked the green lightsaber out of all the lightsaber colors; it was the nonconformist color of choice for some Jedi (Luke and Qui-Gon). :)

    What is up with that sheep icon anyways?

    Something to do with the fact that that sheep was the first clone that was made? :confused:

    While I don't know the story behind it, the Sheep/Vader icon comes from the The Shaving Habits of Big DV over in the Movies (CT) section. ;)

    Because I was tired of that old lobot icon, so I made this one. They uploaded it and now I'm hapy as an elephant.

    Edit: The lobot looks so dignified in this icon. I like it how he stares right at you from the screen. Gives me the the creeps. :D

    Edit: It's one of those pictures where the eyes of the person in it follow you around.

    Your new icon looks good, Sapient. I always prefered this one over your old one. Now you can look like Darth Sin. ;)

    I chose this icon because no one else was using it, and I wanted to seem semi-unique. :)

    I've seen other people use it. The sad thing is that there's practically no icon you can claim as your own only. Although, I haven't seen anybody use this lobot, yet.

    "I am still floored that TF.N allowed that icon to be used. It's not that I don't find it funny. It's just that it's really right on the line of being acceptable versus not". - I don't know what you could mean! It has a legitimate and very acceptable place at the JC! ;)

    Double_Sting, The Sheep icon was requested and lobbied for by those who post in the "Shaving Habits of Big DV" thread. Most of us carry this icon now. I supose it's a bit of an "in joke". However, it does take on other connotations in relation to whole cloning thing.

    I know where it comes from and I think it's funny. But you could also say that it looks like Darth Vader is experiencing a little backwoods adventure. It's like something out of Deliverance. Squeal......squeal....

    I chose my icon because it's Passel Argente!

    Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance in Episode II. He is corrupt, foul, and greedy. He will be played by Stephen Boyle.

    Originally I had Darth Sidious to match with my Darth name. Then I went with a Jango Fett for a while. Then I decided to go with this Mace Windu one. I honestly haven't seen anyone else around the boards with this avatar.
