TFN is an abbreviation for theforce.net, a Star Wars forum created around the same time as this site. These two forums have always had opposing perspectives on the franchise: while this site is more focused on OT purism and criticizing the flaws with modern SW, TFN is more accepting of the modern state of the franchise, especially when it comes to the prequel era. There’s a lot less of a rivalry between those sites now than there used to be, but that difference in attitudes is still there.

I support a middle ground between these two opposing positions: I’m willing to accept almost everything that came out between 1999 and 2008 (except for everything set after the NJO series), but I’m extremely critical of the state of Star Wars after 2008 (except for a few good stories, like SWTOR, the Darth Bane Trilogy, or The Force Unleashed). From 2014 onwards the situation is simply unbearable to me. So we can say that I’m pro-Prequels, but at the same time I’m also pro-EU, anti-TCW and anti-Disney. The ideas I support are very rare, in fact I often argue even with Prequel fans like me, since the majority of the Prequel fans nowadays are pro-TCW and anti-EU.
