Username: the homeworld of my favourite Star Wars character + the year I was born

Avatar: a picture of my favourite Star Wars character in my favourite Star Wars outfit

Title: was “Has a smile 12 parsecs wide,” which is a line from Richard Cheese’s (aka Mark Johnathan Davis) parody song Star Wars Cantina

Signature: I’ve had a few over the years, but my current one (“It’s a lot of fun… it’s a lot of fun to watch Star Wars”) is a quote from Bill Moyers. I love this quotation because it cuts through all the BS that sometimes arises in Star Wars fandom and reminds me of why I fell in love with these films in the first place.

“It’s a lot of fun… it’s a lot of fun to watch Star Wars.” – Bill Moyers

Man, I loved that Star Wars Cantina song back when I found it on mp3.com before that shit was all made illegal.

Username:
Basically just a short version of “Earl of Sandwich”, also has a nice ring to it. Sounds far fancier than “king” or the like. Plus its the name of my Youtube channel so it fits.

Avatar:

  • Previously: Obi Wan doing his “You don’t need to see his identification” look.
  • Currently: Rogue winking at camera from the japanese intro to X Men TAS.

Signature:
Messed up youtube automatic captions, The line is “The Son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi”, but instead it comes out as “This is the largest gold why”. I just found it funny.

Username: A slightly ironic misspelling of Nerevar (+ the word Great) from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which was carried over from the Elder Scrolls forums. Not super applicable here, but it serves.

Feeling nostalgic, I tried to find some of my old posts from the Elder Scrolls forums. Turns out that the forum sank into the swamp years ago, was replaced by another which again sank into the swamp, and finally replaced with a third one which eventually stayed up. The only evidence which still exists is the Wayback Machine, and from after my join date in 2008 there is only one page capture:

I wonder, will the same thing eventually happen to OT.com?

Late, but…

My username was when I saw “Speed” on the TV and misread it as “Spuffu” which evolved into the username I use now.

My avatar is Mr. Incredible from the meme.

My username is pretty self-explanatory, but the “2k4” part was originally shorthand for the year 2004, which is when I set up one of my earlier email addresses. My avatar is the poster image from the 1994 film “The Shadow”, combined with a green lightsaber effect.

My username everywhere else is hanshotfirst1138. That’s what it was intended to be here, but when I put in my name for my profile on the petition, it wound up becoming my username somehow 😛.

My username is explained elsewhere in the thread. My current avatar isn’t one. It’s me in a Zombie movie.

I figured you were just channelling the mad monk Rasputin.

My username is Spartacus because, being a radical socialist and a Marxist, I see Spartacus (the historical character) as “A great general, noble character, real representative of the ancient proletariat,” as Marx called him. The 01 in my nickname comes from the fact that I was born in 2001.

I have the habit of changing my Avatar very often. But whatever, if I had to explain the avatar I have right now, I put it simply because I like astronomy, I like space, and I like cool wallpapers that have astronomy and space as a theme.

“I know that all of you like to dream about space and are a little bit of envious of us. But you know what? We’re also envious of you. We are exploring space, but it’s only the beginning. Planets and unknown worlds are awaiting you. You will continue to storm the Universe.”

My username is “that guy with no name” aka “ThatGuyWithNoName” aka “TGWNN” because I thought it was funny, no reference to Clint Eastwood, but people still thought that was the case, so I changed my profile to him for a while.

Avatar/PFP is of David st. hubbins (Michael McKean) from spinal tap.

I was looking for a funny avatar I could use with Original Trilogy characters and stumbled upon this. I thought it was hilarious.

Any way to watch the original trilogy is valid, but the way they were released in the theaters is the best way to watch it.
