Star Wars- Any Fans?

[Jana]

SOUNDS IN SPACE WHOOO PSHOO PEWPEW BOOM!

Fix'd

Also, I've only seen Episodes 1 and 2, although I do have a lightsaber toy somewhere. Maybe I can cajole Matsuri into a movie night~? :3

You can take my word for it, though. EDIT: Moved.

Massive Star Wars fan here. With my family, I once marathoned all six movies in one day.  Exhausting, but worth it.

And yes, I've got the original three nearly memorized.  Them, and Stackpole's books, are the best things to come from Star Wars.

Stackpole's books (actually the X-wing series in general) were one of the best things to come out of the Star Wars universe in general.

I think I like the Expanded Universe just as much as the movies.  The Star Wars EU is probably the biggest world building exercise wherein many characters, not just the ones seen in the movies may live.  Some of my favorite stories are the ones centered on the people not seen or only briefly seen in the movies.

I hear talk of fake lightsaber fights and now I wish I was a kid again.  And that doesn't happen very often. >.>

Oh man, I watched too much sci-fi when I was young (I blame/thank my parents).  Dr Who, Star Trek, Red Dwarf, Babylon 5 (although I don't remember much of that one, must rewatch it at some point), and of course Star Wars.  There was just... Something so awe inspiring in it that I can't quite pinpoint, but it was there.  Maybe it was the lightsaber fights, or the sheer menace of Darth Vader, or maybe I just liked the idea of a moon sized planet smashing space station. >.>

...Nah, it mostly came down to the fact that it was a fairytale IN SPAAAAAAAACE.  And, well, I've always been a sucker for fairytales.  And Star Wars was better than a regular fairytale due to all the laser swords and space battles and frigging Darth Vader.

...Oh man oh man, now I'm gonna have to watch those films again.  I blame all of you. >.<

[Ghaleon]

I never got into starwars. Star trek though, <3... though voyager was disappointing, and enterprise is an utter disgrace.

Star wars Jedi outcast and Jedi academy are 2 very cool games, much better than force unleashed IMO.

I saw the original Star Wars movie at a drive-in when it first came out, and have been a fan ever since.

Hey there grandpa, why so old?

Good call! I've heard Star Wars be described as Space Opera, but, with the EU and all the other shenanigans with the prequel trilogy and the Old Republic stuff, it feels more accurate to describe it as Space Fantasy. We have setting-prescribed Evil Cultists, Wizards, Themed Dungeons (what with every planet having exactly one ecosystem :V), Wandering Swordsmen etc. etc. etc.

It's certainly how I envisioned Star Wars when I ran my SAGA RPG, and it was a perfect fit.

[Iryan]

Also this.

Ah, almost forgot about that. Yeah, DnD is awesome.  :3

I'm old because I was born long ago. In a galaxy far, far away.

No wonder I felt a presence I haven't felt since...

[CirnoFan]

I knew it! About 95% of the members here are fans of star wars! Looks like Michael is right! Star Wars is the most popular franchise ever, even to Touhou Fans!

[Kilgamayan]

This is, uh, a pretty small sample size you're takin' here.

[Sen]

How old are you, CirnoFan? :V


Comparing Star Wars to Touhou is kind of absurd, since Star Wars is a gigantic world-spanning franchise that's been through every media imaginable, while Touhou is a series of indie games that's really only popular on the internet (and even then, mostly in Japan).

Also, claiming that people can't be fans of Touhou and Star Wars at the same time is kind of silly. That's like saying I can't be a fan of Pokemon and Silent Hill at the same time.

Of the members of this forum, many people don't even look into this off-topic forum.

Of the people who look into this off-topic forum, not everybody would be inclined to look at this thread; most people who are not interested in Star Wars would not even look at the thread. Meaning the sample is biased anyways.

I myself would not have looked at this thread hadn't it started out in CPMC.

On an entirely unrelated note, I love how three of the people posting in this topic have part of hiimdaisy's comic as their sigs.

hiimdaisy is pretty amazing.

you know there are several dozen, but I assume you're referring to StrawberryCreme26's, which is glorious

(unless hiimdaisy were to do a Star Wars comic :*)

[Silent Harmony]

I'm one of those weird people that actually liked one of the prequels (Episode 1), but that's probably because of my age at the time. Duel of the Fates was pretty awesome though.

Also I'm finishing Ruin right now, and can attest that Stackpole is a pretty good author, especially his ship-to-ship battles. Though the amount of times he ends chapters with someone saying "we must do x, or we're all doomed" is kinda funny. :V

give this man an internets.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

I have never seen a Star Wars movie in my life, and I have no intent in doing so. (Especially now that my interest in fiction is pretty much nil.)

[orinrin]

I was enough of a fan to buy that Age of Empires clone and Force Commander.

[An Odd Sea Slug]

I was and still am a major fan of Star Wars. There was one period in life where I'd watch one of the movies every single day of a week. No, seriously. I also love the games and comics and have an interested in the novels. In fact, I still go back and replay Rogue Squadron II every now and then. The only reason I don't have more Star Wars stuff in the house (namely, the freakin MOVIES) is from lack of room and cash, not to mention never having a reliable source for said goods.

The AoE clone was shit, but you could put the disk in a cd player and listen to the soundtrack what was straight original, so good.

[HakureiSM]

I don't think I have any Star Wars merchandise other than a small AT-AP from Hasbro I bought at a con D:
I don't even have the movies anymore. Which is sad.

Why are those things so expensive here ;-;

[Kenchan]

Thrawn 4 lyfe, dawg.

oh man baby, in-fucking-deed.  if anyone wants to enjoy some truly good books I have the audio versions of this <3

[Nobu]

Hopefully you're suggesting that by 'enjoy' you mean "People can come over my house and we can listen to the book together" and not "I will give you a bootleg copy". :x Because we have pretty strict anti-piracy rules over here, and depending on the copyright the rules would extend to audio books too.

Other than that, carry on.

[HakureiSM]

Oh shit, baby it's on

Party at Kenchan's
