Star Wars subforum?

I would like to use this thread to lobby the administration for the creation of a dedicated Star Wars subforum. Why? Some might argue that giving every film fr…

silentpilot6 as a moderator? Please. He has much more important things to do than play babysitter here. 😉

I've always wanted to be a moderator myself, and I'm a woman.

Ladies should have the edge. 😍

But fine, I'll suggest Nass instead. 😘

See how reasonable I am? 🙂

To be honest, I was actually offered a moderator position a while back, but I turned it down. Moderating just isn't my thing, especially since I spend so much time on this forum already.
But... managing a dedicated Star Wars subforum would be a completely different story.
😁

Anyway, what are we waiting for? Just open that subforum already. It’s not like we’re asking for anything impossible, right? It shouldn't be that hard to set up a new section, and if it doesn't pick up steam after a few months, you can always just close it down.

Come on.

Uostalom-n, every other subforum seems to have a million moderators, so there's no way this one will only have one—assuming there's even one to begin with. 😁

Yeah, I’m definitely voting for whatever 😁

"Luke, I am your father"—that doesn't quite work, does it? 😁

But rapidmoose5 really needs to be the moderator. 😘 🙂

I knew my friend would have my back 😘
Love, Sarah Watson40 🙂

But what’s the point anyway? We're all hyped up and getting nowhere on these forums 😢

see how awesome I am? 🙂

Same here. 😁
rapidmoose5 😘

Since there are so many movie mods floating around, and from what I've seen, none of them actually give a damn about SW, we really need at least two mods over here.
I'm nominating rapidmoose5. I'm pretty great too. 🙂
It would be cool to have some female mods; there's way too much male dominance going on! 😉

I’ve got some thoughts on this whole potential subforum idea.
Look, it’s true there isn't much Star Wars talk on here right now, and yeah, technically we could just spin up a subforum for any single trilogy if we wanted to.
But Star Wars is way bigger than just a trilogy—everyone knows that by now. It’s basically outgrown being just a series of movies. And I’m not just talking about the Expanded Universe; I mean the entire phenomenon. Let’s be real, the movies themselves aren't even that groundbreaking, but everyone still obsesses over them and talks them to death.
Why? We should actually look into that. What is it about the Star Wars charisma that hits so hard?

Also, there's that one dedicated Star Wars site with its own forum, but it’s been pretty dead lately. Things peaked around the release of Episode II and then just tanked. It’ll probably spike again when Episode III drops, but that's only because those people are there *only* for Star Wars. On this forum, people hang out for a million different reasons, though they might drift over to a specific subforum once in a while.
Besides, the people who have settled in here? Trust me, they don't want to go trekking over to some other site. They just want a spot where they can geek out about Star Wars without leaving home.

And honestly, I really hope this subforum doesn't just become a circle-jerk for fans singing praises. I want the critics too—the people who’ll call out why certain parts suck or how crazy it is that everyone loses their minds over that stupid Star Vors! I'm being dead serious.

I see nothing but a woman's curse here.
Now I’ll just have to call over my loyal Stormtrooper to see if she agrees.😁

It’s actually not a bad idea for us two to take the lead—green and purple. 😁

It would be great if we could just force Leeu to face reality.

I totally forgot that the Force doesn't work on just any species.
Still haven't figured out what you actually are, though—some random member of the Jabbin family, or maybe one of those winged freaks from a thrift store?😉 😁

Alright, look. We’ve got options here.
1. You can take my hand.......
2. We can settle this with lightsabers.
3. I can call in my Stormtroopers. I'll call the kids. DECOOOOOOO!
4. None of the above—instead, we decide the fate of this new subforum with a contest: Who can chug the most hot sauce?
silentpilot6 🙂 vs everyone else

So, what’s going to make you the water-drinking moderator then?
Here’s some ZA just to keep the kids happy.

I’m all for opening up a subforum... and obviously, silentpilot6 should be the moderator.

P.S. if anyone has a problem with that, they can just go ahead and disappear for good.

man, it would be hilarious if we could just force Lee to face facts about this.

Star Wars

Maybe you guys could whip up some coffee for the pilots coming back from the front lines... kind of like how Leia does in the movies!

Are you serious?

Look, cowgirl, just because your profile picture is peanuts and some pathetic Stormtrooper doesn't give you the right to mess with little girls who just want to play Star Wars.

Judge me by my Sex, huh? You shouldn't bother—my ally is the female brain, and trust me, the bigger it is, the better. Plus, plenty of other things. Yeah, haha.

Now, get lost! 🙄

Now, bugger off! 🙄

Listen here, sweetie... I don't have anything against you playing Star Wars... as long as your role involves making the coffee and prepping the sandwiches!!
😁

P.S. silentpilot6 for moderator!!!!!

P.S.S. besides, it's a dumb movie that only clueless guys would watch anyway... ugh.😁

I told you I’d call in the Stormtroopers, and as you can see, they aren't playing around.😁

What are you ladies even doing? Who was the first one to step up? Who's actually reaching out to people to rally support?
First, let's focus on getting this subforum established, then we can discuss who should take on the moderator role.

Keep dreaming if you want; eventually, an AT-AT will show up too.😉

Here is why silentpilot6 needs to be the moderator.
Because he's already holding a Thermal detonator.😬

Let’s just get the subforum approved first, then we can fight over who gets to be the moderator.

Look, I wouldn't mind if you were positioned right between rapidmoose5 and me and we all ran the show together, but honestly, I doubt that's ever gonna happen. That's why there's a fight brewing.

Btw, go ahead and call your Stormtroopers for backup if you want, I'm calling the mods. 😁

And this is coming from the guy who can't even spell Leia right, calling her Leila instead. 🙄

So, will more of the mods or the big boss himself finally weigh in and clarify what’s going on with all of this?
There's been so much arguing and back-and-forth over who actually holds the moderator title. We're essentially trying to build the foundation before we've even broken ground on the project itself.

fadedsailor932😍 , get in on this scheme with me so we can take over the whole damn galaxy.
Join me, and we will ruin the universe together! JOIN ME OR DIE! 😁 😉

This isn't gonna fly if it's just some niche Star Wars subforum. It needs to be Sci-Fi and Fantasy, then everything else would just fall into place naturally.

I consider myself a fan of any kind of Sci-Fi—honestly, if I had only read Sci-Fi for my college textbooks, I probably would have finished three degrees by now. That said, Star Wars definitely deserves its own dedicated subforum.
In fact, why not just merge Sci-Fi and Fantasy together (I honestly don't understand why there's a Fantasy subforum but no separate one for Sci-Fi 😕)? We could have our own little corner to debate how massive a Star Destroyer really is, how freezing it actually gets on Antarctica, why Darth Vader can't survive without his helmet, or why Luke Skywalker didn't just attack the Emperor and throw his lightsaber instead.
If you want us to clutter up the main Sci-Fi section with those kinds of topics, be my guest.
I'm sure silentpilot6 has even more controversial takes up his sleeve. 😉

I support the idea of opening a Sci-Fi subforum, provided it includes a specific space for Star Wars.
Why not? Let's open a Sci-Fi section that houses a Star Wars fan club within it. What do you all think?
