Sith all the way for this lurker

It's high time I actually introduce myself, figuring that it might be good for people to get to know a bit of me before I join the 501st...or that I never made a point to intro myself...
For me, I didn't become a SW fan right away after my first brush with Star Wars when AOTC came out in the movies. I was Sec 2 then and didn't understand what the heck was going on, only having vague memories of a pink light-sword and the Geonosian battle.
Towards the year end (somewhere around there 'cause it was holidays) Channel 5 was showing Episodes IV, V and VII in that running order. I didn't like ANH but when it came to ESB...that part where Vader is standing on the carbon freezing chamber waiting for Luke just got me totally excited. I like cool villains, and the way Vader held his darkness just sent me into a frenzy. I began supporting the Empire then...so my views of ROTJ quite predictable haha. After that I became interested in getting an Imperial costume - all part of that 'want to be with your hero' thing but of course I couldn't be Darth Vader =(
Anyway, I actually found the 501st Legion's website but was discouraged by the M18 rule. :$ No offense but I forgot about the 501st...all the way until the Art of Star Wars exhibition @ the Science Center. My friend and I paid $12 each to take some photos - there was this booth-like thingy where you could dress up as a Jedi or Sith - and there the photographer mentioned something about the 501st and directed me to their website @ starwars.sg...which last time I didn't know you had to add a .com behind the starwars so I never got to the actual website.
Sooo left it all behind until STCC 08 and there my dream of RPing an Imperial was rekindled...
