Star Wars and the DJB
I was hooked on Star Wars at the age of five when my dad showed my younger brother and I episode 4. Since the first time watching Darth Vader on screen and after seeing the three originals dozens of times I became a Star Wars fan for life. I joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 2006 when I was looking for an online Star Wars club dedicated to the Dark side and Dark Jedi, it also happened following my first play through of Knights of the Old Republic. I was fascinated by the Sith from the game and the Prequel movies. I also wanted to be apart of a club that was more than just a SW club but had multiple activities. Writing fiction, being part of a clan, the ACC, and the Shadow Academy appealed to me and still keeps me here today. Though I left to concentrate on grad school I came back and now enjoy the club even more, and since coming back I have been reading Star wars books and playing more Star Wars games.
