Host extraordinare of "THE VFP Show"!There are two apparently new members at OT.com, HelpMeObiWanKenobi and Put Captain Solo in the Cargo Hold. Are these new, real posters or is this a new thing regular posters are doing?
Because if it is some new deal, I want to create a sock named ManyBothansDiedtoBringUsThisInformation. Either that or SompeetalayVereTanTeNachtVakeCheeta. That's right, I'm reserving sock names.

Host extraordinare of "THE VFP Show"!Well that's why I'm curious; because there's something rather funny about those user names. But hell, maybe that's their real names, who knows?
I was just kidding anyway - I have no desire to sock.

See You, Space Cowboy...Captain Solo in the Cargo Hold has posted in the past, he seems independent. Don't know about HelpMe though.

Saint (and Fink is a drut wolley diputs)When signing up here, I think many of us feel the need to come up with a Star Wars related name, only later realizing that doing so is kind of lame.
Using a famous quote from the films as a user name is very uncreative and therefore quick and easy to come up with, yet still somewhat amusing at the same time. So I don't see it as all that suspicious.

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don't exist... then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks... and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Saint (and Fink is a drut wolley diputs)C3PX was my attempt at coming up with something Star Wars related, if I could do it again, I would have given my user name some more thought. C3PX was a protocol droid that had been converted into an undercover assassin droid from one of Dark Horse's Droids comics. So yeah, I have a lame, poorly thought out something Star Wars (EU no less) related user name.

Lol, I had no idea C3PX was an actual droid. I though it was just a play on C3PO, like x's and o's or something.
Oops...I mean...damn you, CP3S!

Host extraordinare of "THE VFP Show"!Because everyone was asking, my name is a meta-textual reference to the idea that a dictatorial Sith would even bother with an election! Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, the very idea! Even if elections were held, who else would receive votes?! Oh, what a hoot I am!

Saint (and Fink is a drut wolley diputs)See, a name like "vote_for_palpatine" is rather clever, and requires more thought than simply stealing a name from an EU character, or some other random Star Wars reference. Gaffer's name is another great creative Star Wars related name that required some thought.

And I've been looking for an opportunity to tell you how awesome your screen name is:
Your screen name is awesome.
Mine is from a group my friends made in high school, back when everyone was obsessed with GoldenEye 64. We all picked numbers, I got 005. When I wanted to change my lame first.last@juno.com email address (to give you an idea of how long ago this was), it hit me to spell it out. I've used it for everything ever since.
