How did you discover the Jedi Council?

I will! Right after I'm done reading the latest TF.N Spy Report!

 

I lurked on the board for years as a reader-especially in the lit section. So much that I knew the names of the moderators and the various discussions-I didn't have an account I just would I read discussions. I was just in middle school-reading Star Wars Lit discussions on my iPhone. I wanted to participate for years but I did not join until relatively recently.

I got an account back in 2016 and it was a wonderful decision I made. In a few months time it will have been two years since I joined.

 

I found this place when "Attack of the Clones" came out, I found myself to be immediately confused that not everyone loved the film. Thus began about 6 years of heavily defending the prequels, writing massive fanfic novels, making friends all over the globe, and hard core discussing collectibles w/ other obsessed collectors. I now mostly just hang in the collectibles boards, the prequels exhausted me from film banter, but I still come here every day because I love my favorite GFFA and the masses of merchandise that keeps getting produced for it.

 

I don't remember how I found TFN or the JC anymore, though I remember I was still in my junior year of high school at the time. That was in the spring of 1999. I registered a few different names over the next couple years and mostly lurked (though I did a bit of scattered posting). Eventually, I decided to join in more actively and registered my longtime username.

 

Someone invited me here from a Star Wars themed Neopets Guild to read her fanfic. I continued to read her and other fanfics for several months and even collaborated on one that went unfinished (I’m no good at writing fanfic). Then I discovered the JCC and have posted there pretty much exclusively ever since. I don’t post much anymore, but I’m married to the head admin, so I’m still relevant.

 

I started lurking on different message boards whenever the AOTC script leaked (I think I was like nine years old), but nobody would let me register until I was 13. So because I’m an honorable person, I waited until mid-2004 to join under the alias of DVDooku to demand an explanation for why a pacifist Jedi brutally killed instead of incapacitating a bounty hunter with direct ties to the Republic and the Separatists.

Then I didn’t like the name anymore.

 

Honestly? I'm not 100% sure how I found the website. That said, I think it had something to do with fanfiction, as I found a series of post-NJO AU fanfics (which lead me to AU ending for NJO preceding it). That was around Jan/Feb 2006, and I registered in March when I had caught up and wanted to comment on it.

So yeah, while I seen all of the PT and read all of NJO by that point, I got here when a fair amount of that had died down, I think.

But I was just in time for DNT and LotF. That was... fun.

 

1999 or so on the olde UBB boards I found TFN for spoilers, then found the forums. Then I found Fan Force.

I spent a lot of time in the EP 2/3 spoilers allowed sections, and was the initial Chapter Rep for Denver, Colorado -- the Rocky Mountain Fan Force.

I'm still active in the 501st, and participate in RMFF events as often as life allows. And I'm still friends IRL with many of the people from those early days

 

I was looking for a place to post my fan art, and found this. WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better.

 

i've join this forum twice,first time in i think 2007 or 8 and then again just before TFA came out and have been here sense.I'm in here on in off again of cause
this place is strong medicine.

 

I was probably looking for good SW fanfic back in 2004 and found some fantastic stories at TF.N. Either through there, or having somehow stumbled upon a board called "The Dark Lord's Council" around the same time, directed me to these boards.

 

It was summer of 1998, I was a bored 19 year old with an internet connection and I kept going to this Star Wars page that had a lot of spoilers and news about Episode I. They kept teasing something about "The Jedi Council" which I kept an eye out for only to be yanked away from home for two days for a family gathering. I got home, signed in, went to discuss Dark Forces and figured I'd have forgotten about this place in two weeks.

So much for that...

 

We got our first computer back in 1998 the week before Christmas and I signed up on forums with all the hype around potential new Star Wars coming out. I mainly posted in what would become FanForce and in the Community forum. I didn't like my username (JAWAHUNTER) so I changed to this account once I met a few people from the forums in real life.

 

I Knew about Jedi council Forums about 2 years ago when i was serching on the internet i serch a answer that was star wars related about order 66 survvivors and one of the sites i saw was Jedi council froums i was reading different threads until 2017 april 15 i officealiy join and it is great meeting so many different star wars fans who love star wars as much as i do

 

My Afghan captors made me join. I still haven’t broken.

 

I literally googled "star wars forum".
I felt like chatting on the subject.

I looked at a few forums.
Some were dead, some were too negative.
This was the baby bear.
It felt like it had energy and enthusiasm.

 

I had just stumbled out of a wampa’s cave and was laying down in the snow. My former mentor appeared to me in a vision and said, “You will go to theforce.net. There you will post on the Jedi Council Forums.”

Or, alternatively, I don’t remember how I came across them. I was posting on the boards at starwars.com (which got taken down later) first, and I started lurking here for a while before stopping there and registering here.

Then very soon after the sale to Disney and the creation of the New Films forums, I became a New Films mod and did that for five years before retiring earlier this year.

 

Firstly, I love it here and feel at home look forward to the future here .

I wanted to find a star wars forums filled with Nerds like me so we can geek it out over Star Wars and boy this place has it all.
