    You wouldn't believe the difficulty I just had in coming up with a title. Absolutely ridiculous. I thought about leading with a Star Wars pun but thought, "I've got a bad feeling about this", so I scrapped that. Then I considered feigning ignorance and using an Ewan McGregor quote from a different source altogether (I was going to use Renton from Trainspotting) in a sort of "Oops! Wrong film, heh heh" thing...but I'm trying to shake my stupid joke addiction.

    In the end, I settled on "Boring-Quirky" in the hopes that I come across as a pseudo-intellectual who uses sarcasm and dry humor to mask my lack of any actual depth.

    Seriously though, I've been looking for a good forum for quite some time. This place seems pretty rad, and I'm all about a good community. It didn't even have to be Star Wars-centric, that just happens to be a perk for me, if this place turns out to be the droids I was looking for.

    As for myself, I'm a 36 (66? It's really tough to tell some mornings) year old husband and father, varied nerd, and hardcore casual Star Wars fan. Or is it casual hardcore? I can't name all the obscure characters, but I just bought a lightsaber I didn't need, so...?

    Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know the people and places of this forum. It seems like a lot to take in, so as I stumble through, I'm apologizing in advance for any faux pas. And for any dad jokes I might make!

    I think I just might! (It'll be a tough sell, as it's the wifey's birthday...but I'm going to try! lol)

    As for what I'm interested in..I'm super typical: Superheroes, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Ninjas. I play video games, Magic The Gathering, some D&D. I guess my biggest things aside from Star Wars are X-Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Just...so much stuff lol. I'm sure you know how that goes. :)

    Hey, thanks for the reply! And I appreciate the invite, I really will try to get in on that movie.

    Hey, silly noob question...is the movie being streamed somewhere? Or are folks just watching their own copies and hanging out in the forum?

    Sorry if it's a dumb question, and thanks!

    Welcome aboard. I am a slightly older father (approaching 50) with two teenage daughters an two female basset hounds. Even with that on my plate, I find plenty of time to hang out around these parts.
