    Hello! I am Aznak Dum, 26-year old Star Wars fan from Finland. Ever since the early noughts and shoddy VHS-tapes that we watched from front to back with my little brother I have wanted to immerse myself in this make-believe galaxy and it’s inhabitants. For me Star Wars has been comforting, assuring, more of a lifestyle than just another franchise. Other hobbies I have are films, TTRPG’s, basketball and good food. I work as a community worker and live with my spouse in a city called Tampere. When I was a little kid I used to come occasionally here to read stuff. Imagine that, I was 8 years old when this site was opened! I’m hoping to meet other Star Wars fans across the world and perhaps get social contacts and friends this way. I am non-binary and non-neurotypical.

    Welcome, the forum is a wide and varied place. I'm sure that you will find many things, from discussions to roleplaying stories that people here write with each other, to interest you. If you need any help with anything, all you need do is ask, I'm sure you'll hear that from others too, it's a good community here.

    Meet other Star Wars fans? Here??? Psh. Good luck with that!

    Oh, wait... I'm a Sith. Right. Welcome!

    We have many people here of all walks of life. I'm sure you'll find others like you. Is there anything we can help you find?

    Yes, I was wondering about those social clubs and how one can apply to them? That whole concept is a bit new to me.

    Do you mean the Jedi or the Sith groups, or in other areas of the forum? I just want to be sure before I answer that one because I do not want to give you the wrong information.

    Well, I'm the 'to be sure' person. You can interact with members from both groups here in the Welcome forums, both groups have social welcome threads. When you decide where you want to be, you can ask in that thread and the members there will guide you from there. Note, you can't be in both groups, you have to choose one or the other ;)

    Jedi Enclave
    Sith Academy

    Choose wisely ;) :p

    I referred your question to a friend, who I'm sure can answer it fully. She's a Mod, and a great person, even if she's a bloody Jedi...:D

    And there she is.

    Should be the grandmaster but someone is too polite and won't nominate herself for the position. :D

    @Aznak Dum, when you read through the Sith or Jedi social groups, half the time we're In Character, half not. It depends, often, if we're assigning or discussing tasks padawans/apprentices are doing, or things in stories we're involved in. So if you see, say, a Sith lord being 'mean' to a peon or apprentice it's definitely not personal, but just part of the in character stuff.

    The other social threads like the Cloud City Cantina, Blue Moon Cantina and the Rethink Your Life Cantina are all open. Just go in and say hello.
    Perhaps you didn't notice Darth Maul in his Avatar. Methinks he already has, you Bloody Jedi.

    And perhaps you didn't recognize that I was being polite by not assuming.

    Besides I agreed with you afterward, sheesh...

    Shakes his head at the impolite Jedi. [face_rofl]

    Welcome! I too remember watching my VHS tapes of Star Wars till the tape needed to be fixed due to wear and use. I am glad you found JCF, and from Finland! How neat! Even more unique is you were reading this forum from its Genesis days!

    Once more, welcome to the forums!
