Hello Everyone, I am Tommy aka Darryn Varson around the net. I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. My mom quite literally raised me on Star Wars, Old School Battlestar Galactica, Indiana Jones and other movies. But throughout my life there has always been something about Star Wars that brought me back to it.
I think the big part of the draw to me has always been the Jedi. Yes Han is cool, Boba is someone you don't want to mess with. But the first time I saw a lightsaber ignited I remember my jaw hitting the ground. I was trying to read the EU in my youth but stopped for a while. Recently I decide to jump back into SW fandom full force.
I have been hanging out at the FX Sabers forums for a while now and I confess that it was J'aii-Gun Jiinn who lead me here. She had mentioned being a member and showed off some of her pics so I asked her some questions. She was very kind to answer me so I decided to go ahead and get on the forums.
My robes are still a while away, being a broke college student and all. But I am hoping to get things bit by bit. My first purchase is a Dominix saber from Ultrasabers. From there it is assembling the pieces of my robes and getting all approved.
Sorry for the longwinded post, but I look forward to chatting and meeting you all. May The Force Be With You All.

I thank you very much Master Kai. I have a idea of what I would like my robes to be but I have to do a little planning. Thanks again for the welcome.

Greetings young one. The Jedi Assembly is a great bunch of friends and was the first offical group I became a member of besides Fan Force. They help me on my way to become a great Jedi and a help me understand a lot more about Star Wars. In 4 years they have help me through a lot and because of their knowledge and friendship I have joinned the Rebel Legion, in which now I am the CO of the Corellian Base of the Rebel Legion comprise of the states of Kentucky, Mississippi, & Tennessee. In many ways they help me prepare for to join the 501st. So, I guess you can sayI am well rounded but I still hold TJA in my heart as my brothers and sisters. They will not turn you wrong thats a promise.

Well the Rebel Legion has appealed to me. But when I heard about TJA I knew I had to start here. My heart belongs to the Jedi, and I hope to serve well.
Thanks for the welcome.

Darryn . . . "Patience will be your reward." Within the last couple of weeks, I became an official Jedi. Making this announcement to family and friends was the coolest thing! You will receive so much information from beginning to end about the Jedi galaxy. You are indeed in good hands. Welcome! ;D

Welcome!! This is a great place to help you with your costume... and you'll find many knowledgeable and helpful (and fun!) people. If not for this group, I'd still be in "civilian clothes"....
