I’m Dunc, I run ClubJade.net and do most of the posting there. I got into Star Wars at age 13 largely because I watched the original trilogy and then picked up Heir to the Empire (it was 1991, that was about all there was at the time unless you did some digging) and I’ve basically been hooked ever since. And yes, I’m functional adult - in theory - in her 30’s.
I believe that snark and sarcasm are requirements for staying sane in fandom, which may speak to my residual 90’s teeniness but SO BE IT. Thankfully I found Club Jade, which took me in as that teenager and made me a better, snarkier fan. They are My People. (No, I’m NOT the only person in CJ, and I don’t run it, aside from the blog bit.)
So… yeah. For everyone who already knows all this, a GIF to make the post worthwhile:
