Dark Jedi Broterhood

Some twenty five years ago I was a passionate Star Wars fan and I started playing TIE Fighter. It was awesome. It was Star Wars. It was a space flight simulator. It had a great story. Darth Vader choking people. Admiral Thrawn looking sharp. I was hooked.

Fast forward a couple of playthroughs and many late nights I wanted to join the ranks of others who loved the game as I did. It wasn't long until I joined the Emperor's Hammer. An association where we could roleplay as members of an expanded Star Wars TIE Fighter universe.

I quickly found my place there and made many great friends. I was very active and contributed to the newsletter, writing stories, novels and created custom missions in TIE Fighter. I started my days in the Cobra squadron. 

A story I recall writing was the creation of a new Star Destroyer, the Challenge. 

I moved up the ranks and joined the command squadron which were the 12 or so members that helped to manage the club directly under the leader.

At the same time I was also advancing in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, a subgroup.

There I became friends with the great people in Tau squadron. We were like a second family. We were always up to no good, causing mischief. Good times.

As time passed I became a bit disenchanted. We didnt't get the free hands we wanted to transform the Brotherhood. So in the end I parted on not so good terms with the leader.

Thus I made my mark on Emperor's Hammer history, as I became known as the Other..

Star Wars 9 - The rise of Skywalker

I used to watch the original trilogy pretty much every weekend for a while in my teens. On VHS casette. And I was a part of an online fan club called the Emperor's Hammer. I loved the game Tie Fighter. So I was a die hard fan. Sadly, my love has waned over the years with first the prequels and I guess it just didn't quite feel the same with the one ones.

They were pretty good, but they didn't quite stick with me as the first ones.

A familiar evil laugh does however stir hope in and oldened hard that something will stick.

Science fiction exhibition with Star Wars and Marc Singer

This weekend I and the family visited the annual Sci-Fi exhibition, this year in Helsingborg. We had a great time, got to talk to Marc Singer when he invited us up on stage and got some good photo opportunities. Marc was a great and friendly guy.  




The stare of a Stormtrooper and Darth Vader can be a bit unsettling in person for a moment or two.


Not even Darth Vader could keep them from goofing around.
