    Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself, mostly because these forums are so vast that I have so many questions, but I will refrain from asking them all in one post :ahsoka:

    • I was born in 1981, I currently live in NYC (and have lived here for 9 years), and I am a professor at a college level, teaching all kinds of Physics classes.
    • My interests include science, film, music, playing soccer (twice a week) and conversations about anything existential.
    • My favorite SW episode is probably Revenge Of Sith and I consider the first 6 movies a single storyline, with beginning, middle and end.
    • My favorite SW character is Ahsoka Tano and I really wish that some day we will get an anthology film based on her character.
    • My favorite EU characters are in random order: Kyle Katarn, Darth Bane, Ben Skywalker, Jaina Solo, Luke Skywalker, Vestara Khai, Revan.
    • I don't hate TLJ, but I find it a very bad movie, in all aspects. I can see no redeeming qualities in it, and I wish it had never been released, but I can just ignore its existence anyway.
    Ask me anything, I would love to get to know people on these forums over time and have interesting discussions about anything really.

    :sabine:

    PS. How can one see the various ranks of users and what the color codes mean? I have been searching for this but didn't find it.

    Heya, @DarthFixxxer :) I also love Ahsoka, and if she got her own movie, I'd be really happy :cool: Hope you love it here!!

    Welcome @DarthFixxxer! Another Darth for our humble boards. Agreed on Jaina and Vestara! Such great characters! As a matter of fact, @DarthBooty (my wife) and I had agreed, if we had a girl, to name her Jaina. (Even though she's a stinkin' Jedi...)

    Let us know how we can help, please.

    Thank you, thank you, yes, Jaina is one of my favorite characters during the Legacy Of The Force Era, and she had a great development, though I admit I still need to read some of the novels with the Skywalker and Solo kids. I guess I should have clarified my question better. I can see everyone's rank, I was just looking for a legend to see all the ranks and what each one of them means (Youngling, Master, Grand Master etc), and what do the color codes on some people's username also mean (purple border, orange and yellow box etc) :)

    I already love it, and yes, Ahsoka was annoying me when she was first introduced in Clone Wars, and then she became my all time favorite along with Luke Skywalker perhaps. She rocks!

    Haha thanks! Well Star Wars has so many great characters, that it's hard to choose!
    Thank you, and thanks to everyone who responded also. Well I might disappoint you, because even though my username is DarthFixxxer, I am truly a Jedi in heart, and I always prefer the light side in videogames where choices matter etc. But we all have a dark side :emperor:

    Honestly, if I was somehow in control of Lucasfilms, and if George Lucas had not sold the franchise to Disney, I would totally push for limited series of the Legacy Of The Force and the Fate Of The Jedi book series. I think they would make amazing stories shown on TV. Perhaps two seasons of each would be perfect.... with 2 episodes per novel. It's not that important I guess, because in my head I already have images for all of that stuff... Lymiya and Mara's death, Darth Caedus, Vestara and the Lost Sith, Ben Skywalker, Abeloth etc. :cool:

    Awesome, now everything makes sense! I still have to figure out how people have colored boxes and fonts on their usernames, but that's a tale for another time.... I guess my last question for now would be what are the prerequisites for inclusion in the interview thread? :D

    Thanks for your help, I will stop the spamming for now and go watch SOLO :han::falcon:

    That's great @DarthFixxxer! Glad to help ;)
    I will PM you about the interview thread :D

    P.s. people with coloured names are mods/admins or VIPs. Mods/admins get the colours so they are distinguishable from others and as a sort of reward I believe. VIPs (red text only) get colours if they host a game, win a game or are an ex-mod/admin. I have colours because I won forum feud)

    *a dark figure enters*

    I see the Jedi are attempting to poach a new user with Darth in their user name. :p

    Welcome to the community. :) The Dark Side also has a strong presence, but most importantly, we are all happy to help you navigate the boards.

    @DarthFixxxer Vestara Khai is one of my favorite Legends characters as well - although she only ranks fifth behind Gara Petothel/Lara Notsil/Kirney Slane, Cade Skywalker (even though he is Jedi scum), Thrawn, and Darth Krayt.

    Welcome @DarthFixxxer

    I used to live in NYC a long time ago. Went to NYU for a law degree and worked in the city as well. I miss it. Are you a Mets or Yankees fan?

    Thank you!

    Even though I was born in NYC, I did not grow up here. Therefore I can't really say I feel a connection with any NY team, let alone baseball teams, since that's the one major American sport I can't really watch.

    Somehow I like Chicago teams, at least in the NBA and the NHL.
    I think I like the Packers the most in NFL and I guess I don't really care for any baseball team :p

    Welcome to the community @DarthFixxxer I may not be the best when it comes to physics. I actually got a C. :p

    However I would be glad to talk to you about anything involving Star Wars.

    You've made a name for yourself on the boards and even given an awesome interview. Do you feel it's time yet to join a club? Guardians of Light are a Jedi Knight roleplaying group who often deal with themes of the existential and metaphysical.
