Name: Jackie
Age: 32
SW Related Interests: Anything to do with the original trilogy. As far as I'm concerned, the prequels don't exist in my world. I'm also a huge fan of Lego Star Wars
Non-SW Related Interests: Huge reader, aforementioned Lego addict, knitter, skier and hiker
How did you get started on SW: The first SW movie I saw was Episode 6, and Jabba the Hut scared the crap out of me (I was young, cut me some slack on this one). I hated Star Wars for a long time after that until I forced myself to sit down and watch them again. I was about 8 the second time around and I was hooked for life.
How did you find this board? I found this board after stalking RMFF on Facebook for a while first
