Hello, the names Kristina. I saw the posts about this and then the link on allegoricalrose's tumblr and joined up. ^_^ I haven't done message boards in forever but 12 years or so ago I was a moderator at theforce.net boards. Those were the biggest Star Wars message boards during the prequels and some crazy times were certainly had there, lol.

Star Wars was my first major fandom (and Han/Leia my first OTP :wub: ) and I still adore it (that's where the Han in my name comes from ;)) but these days I'm all about Who. My fanfic is under Bria (Han Solo's first love according to the books) on FF.Net, Ao3, and Teaspoon. I've been a Whovian since May 8, 2013 and I was hooked from Rose. Everybody has different tastes but I just don't understand people who aren't hooked by the Doctor and Rose. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Hi Kristina! I'm Emma, nice to meet you! :)

I'm so excited for December you have no idea!? Star Wars is great and the trailers have been giving me so many warm feelings. "Chewie, we're home." :wub:

Hi Emma! Oh my gosh yes!!! I'm so excited too. Well, excited and nervous, because of how much the series means to me. I just want to enjoy it... Overall I liked the prequels (though I do have some complaints...) but they don't hold a candle to the original series. Now that Disney owns Star Wars I know George isn't as involved and that sort of worries me but everything I have seen looks awesome... and J.J. Abrams is a fan so hopefully he does the series justice. :)

I'm with you -- how can you not get hooked by the Doctor and Rose??? I just don't get it. :)

Hello and nice to meet you! My first fandom was Star Wars too, I read a ton of EU novels back in the day! The one thing that scares me from the new movies is if they're gonna stick with Han/Leia.

Hello! :D Same here. I became a fan with the special editions (though believe me I prefer the original non-special editions now - HAN SHOT FIRST!) and from those to the start of the prequels I think I read every book published and the comics too. After the prequels I read specific books if they interested me as well as the post ROTJ books focusing on Han, Leia, their children, Luke, Mara Jade, etc. But as I was NOT happy with how Han and Leia's daughter had to kill her brother, nor how their other son also had to die, I pretty much stopped reading the books. The X-Wing books were AWESOME though and there is at least one of those I haven't read so I'll probably at least read that at some point. But first I have to finish my Doctor/Rose Who books. I've got seven Doctor/Rose books left to read (3 with Nine, 4 with Ten) but I'm spacing out my reading of them as I can only read them for the first time once.

Yeah, the original trilogy is all about Han, Luke, and Leia, and I want to see a lot of all 3. But they are of course showing a new generation and new characters so the original trio might be more off to the side but I hope not. Oh and I want to see R2 and Chewie again too. I guess I'll put up with Threepio. ;) I wish Lando was returning but it doesn't look like he is. :'(

Wow. If they split up Han and Leia that'd be worse than Jar Jar Binks. They were one of my first OTPs.

Oh, gosh, I stopped right before that arc where the Jacen went Dark and Anakin was still alive. When I found out about that I was pissed, so yeah, I don't think I'm going to read anymore EU books, I just don't like where they went with the kids.

I'm bracing myself for the new movie, I was disappointed with the prequel and I camped out back when Episode 1 came out. So this time I''m going to wait for spoilers so I don't rage. lol

And yeah, I'm seriously disappointed that Lando isn't joining in, but maybe next movie?

Lastly, totally HAN SHOT FIRST! ;)
