Boba Rex is a fine name. At some point I think you ought to make an alternate avatar of the skull wearing the Rex "ears" like a crown. You know, Rex = King, King Boba?

Well yes I am a bit on the looney side

Thanks. I think it is fitting for the new name. Now I need to get it to look that good at 50x50 for rebelscum.com

Good luck. We've been able to hold down much resentment and negativity in The Orlando System in the last few years and I am eager to continue this record.

Sorry, I double posted by accident and couldn't delete it so I decided to make this an entirely new statement. We're just about ready to have our first meeting next week so we should be ready to join officially soon. We just need a banner and a more sound leadership for us to be ready.

It was excessive drama that went from the fanforce boards to theirs that made them so iffy about allowing fanforce discussion. The founder of our fanforce group got very personal about his apprehension towards others and it made people leave our group and go back to trooping and getting together with only Squad 7 of the 501st. this was a few years ago but they haven't forgotten.

Wilco, although I may have trouble finding members in the Fl501st forums. We have a bunch of Stormies in the area but due to an incident some time ago, they don't really like for our fanforce to be talked about openly on there.

Best of luck. I hope to have more connections with the 501st. Star Wars fans are Star Wars fans and we should celebrate our common love of the Saga.

Ian, happy to see you on here, and I hope you'll invite any JAX fans to come along as well. Welcome to the Grand Florida Alliance!

Hello. My name is Ian Cleary and i'm in the Jacksonville St. johns county area. I'm 16 and am a Jedi duelist with 13 years practice with lightsabers. I am currently in the process of reviving my local fanforce, First Coast Jedi Knights, with a couple of others and am looking to join the SWGFA.

Welcome guys. Always good to see more fans joining and showing interest in the events Campbell and Chris plan. Hope to see you guys in Orlando on Saturday.

Welcome, BSK and John!
We're looking for Star Wars fans of all types from all over the state. Orlando looks like it'll be the hotbed this Summer, but wherever we can find a group of fans that want to meet we invite them to be a part of the GFA. Looking forward to meeting you both in person and hope you enjoy the boards. Invite your friends!

Welcome to the board BigStickKenobi & John! So glad to have you here.

There are no events currently scheduled for the Tampa Bay area as of now, but as we get into the New Year, this will change. We are trying to gain more attendance from the Orlando area because of Celebration V. I do have plans to host some type of get together locally here in Tampa in the next month or two though, so keep your eyes peeled. If you guys would like to be put on the mailing list, please send me an email at chris.wyman@verizon.net . This will ensure that you are up to date on all upcoming events.

Is there any meetings in the Tampa Bay area coming up soon?

Hi, my name is John, new to the board and looking forward to meeting some other SW fans closeby (I'm in West Orange County) and participating in local SW events. I am working on Saturday night for the potluck, but would like to attend events in the future. Pumped about Celebration V!! MTFBWY

Hello all,
First time joining a message board like this. Love Star Wars and have always made sure that all of my freinds old and new know. Throughout my years of being a fanboy, I have been a collector, traveled for Star Wars weekends in Orlando and a constant web searcher for anything new relating to my favorite movies. Tried to make it to the last Celebration in CA, but was unable to do it. I am very grateful that it is coming to Orlando this year! I wish there was a schedule out so I know what days to book a room for. I don't plan on going all four days, just for two. Not because of money, I just do not want to get bored after two days.
Thanks

I definitely hope to meet you at a meeting one day- or perhaps Star Wars Weekends or Celebration V- but you're also always welcome here on the boards. We've got our own Star Wars family on here and we're especially happy to have a "Maker" among us!

All right class, let's go around the room and everybody introduce themselves... Heh, that's your choice, but here's a thread for you to at last reveal yourselves to the Orlando System. You're welcome to start your own thread, but this is a nice way to keep most of the introductions in one place. Veterans and newbies alike, have at it... I'll start.

I'm Campbell aka Sabacc. I'm a Star Wars fiend and a bit obsessive about collecting. I'm also extremely interested in film, music, pop culture and the related trivia. Like most people I'm a scuba diving, vegetarian boomerang-thrower. I live alone in the Millenia area of Orlando among hundreds and hundreds of action figures.
