I recently stumbled upon a quiz sort of thing on SnackVox which generates a Star Wars-ified Facebook page for you. I do think that, unfortunately, do have to have a Facebook to be able to use it (someone who doesn't have on try and let us know?) Anyway, in order to share the profile here, you can right click on the picture and click "copy image address"--don't just copy and paste what is in your url bar because that will just take the person to the quiz and not to your result. My first one was so perfect that I just have to share (a lot of you already know my first name anyway so oh wells :P ) (and this one is a screenshot not a copy+paste which is why it…

Hello. My name is Millon Daine. I've been a fan of Star Wars for longer than I can remember. I was raised with a bottle in one hand and Bossk figure in the other. I was not born before the release of this legendary franchise but more at the crest of the wave. Well, perhaps not the crest but definitely before the ebb. Needless to say (but said anyway, why does anyone actually ever say 'needless to say? You KNOW they're goin to say it. One of these days I'm going to start a story and end with needless to say right in the middle) Star Wars has been in the back ground of my entire formulative childhood. Bed sheets, painful halloween masks, thermos and lunch box, stuffed anim…

So please participate here and tell us what you think will happen in The Force Awakens!

One of the most bitter/sweet and beautiful things about working on some form of art or other is that, once it is presented to the public, it is truly finished. If I publish a book today, I certainly can't go collect all of the copies from the four (make that five... thanks, Mom!) people who bought it and make changes to the published text. Even if I find some glaring mistake. This can be a good thing, though. Imagine if you did have the ability to constantly edit your every finished product? Would you ever stop? At some point, a clean break must be made, and your art must be put out for the world to see; beauty, flaws, and all... Unless you're George Lucas. …

When Disney bought Star Wars, they decided that all of the Extended Universe stuff is no longer canon However, they have continued to allow the novels to be published under the Legends banner. There are also many games under the Star Wars name. Do you read or play any of them. Feel free to share them here.

There are many theories surrounding Star Wars, some of which are more believable than others. What are the ones that you know of and would like to discuss? Do you believe any of them? One that I'm personally fond of and accept is that Palpatine killed Padme. One that I do not believe but that made me chuckle a bit was that Jar Jar Binks is actually a Sith Lord. Thoughts?

Thanksgiving is almost upon us. What will be on your table? Are you traditional? Will you potluck? What is your favorite dish?

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what makes us thankful. This thread is to share what we are thankful for: feel free to share anything, from something large to small. If it makes you thankful, we want to hear it. I'll start it off: Right now I am thankful that I have my amazing son with me, he makes everything better for me, and helps me find a smile, even if I thought that wasn't possible. So what are you thankful for? :D

Hi Everybody! So once again I get to run a thread about a Topic that I, the Aussie, know nothing about lol!! So im running a game. Of Eyespy! Now yesterday I thought "everyone knows EyeSpy!" then i spoke to a Belgian........ So heres how it works you normally do this in a car or train but we are going to use a pic/s.

People guess things starting with that letter mfirst person to get it has the next turn. Clear enuff? So I spy with my little eye......something beginning with T

What makes Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is probably different for each family, and even each person! it would be great if you could share the things that makes the holiday special to you: whether it's food you eat, places you go, or people you see. But maybe (like me) you are not from the USA so aren't celebrating Thanksgiving soon. Do you have a similar holiday where you are? Do you have a celebration at this time of year for harvest? Perhaps a thankful celebration at another time of year? If you do, we'd love to hear about your traditions as well.

Welcome to the Gray Ajah Thanksgiving Event! In the USA November the 24th is the holiday of Thanksgiving. Being glad and thankful isn't confined to our friends in the states, but it does give us a handy excuse to come together, share some memories and even have some fun. The Gray and our handy helpers will be posting some threads here in Tar Valon, and we hope you will all join in: whether there is a Thanksgiving holiday in your home or not I'm sure we all have things we are thankful for. (I will post links to our threads here as they are posted, so keep an eye out!) Join Ryrin for some Thanksgiving Dinner http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/96059-gra…

With the latest Neverland (Peter Pan) movie adaptation due to arrive in theaters this week I am excited to discuss the movies of the past! But first... Lets watch the movie trailer for PAN! In theaters October 5th. Are you excited!!!?? I am! So, what is your favorite Peter Pan movie? Mine is Hook (1991), with Robin Williams & Dustin Hoffman. Although when I was a kid, I loved Disney's Peter Pan (1953). Tinker Bell is my favorite character and I have Tink stuff all over my house! Here's a list you can check out. NEVERPEDIA

First created in the form of a 1904 play by Sir James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan has become a modern (well, 100 years ago now, it's not too modern) day fairy-tale. The play of 1904 was turned into a novel by Barrie in 1911, and has since been re-created on the stage and in film and television. While Peter Pan and Wendy is the main story that we all know, originally two other books were created to form the Neverland Trilogy, detailing Peter Pan's childhood and escape into Neverland. [The Little White Bird (1902) and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906)] More recently in 2006, Gerladine McCaughrean won a competition to continue the 'official' legacy (granted …

Good day to all the fair ladies and sweet gentlemen who have gathered here today for this discussion! Welcome to the White Ajah's Neverland Week! Please, take a seat, and be welcome. As you all know, Peter Pan and the Lost Boys never grow old, for as long as they live in Neverland. The play version of the original work was also named: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. The starting question of this discussion is then as follows: What do you think the ramifications (long-term effects) are of never growing older? Please keep in mind that this does not currently include the concept of immortality; we will get to it later. Index: Part 1: What are the…

In Neverland, the King and Queen's Princess is looking for a suitor! Can you help the Princess by delivering her love letter? This is a game of deduction. Use your skills to out-think your opponents and win the game! The objective is easy: be the last person to have a card in your hand! Or, in the case of multiple people having cards, be the one with the highest rank! Only 4 players can play at once (but we can have multiple rounds if there's a ton of interest). There are 16 cards in the deck, powers outlined below, with the rank in parenthesis: 1 Princess (8): You lose if you discard this 1 Countess (7): Discard if you have the Prince or King …

Here's a brief biography on the author and playwright. Barrie's life has been portrayed in films and books. Perhaps the best known is Finding Neverland (2004), with Johnny Depp playing Barrie. And a British television miniseries, The Lost Boys (1978), starred Ian Holm as Barrie. Here we can discuss the man, the character, the artist.
