TrueSwFans.com is a fan-made website designed to create a collaborative Star Wars community in a variety of ways. First, and foremost, TrueSWFans actively works to provide ratings and reviews for canon Star Wars content. Currently, this includes ratings submissions with comments also available. Eventually, the site will also include discussion forums for the latest releases of Star Wars material and what fans think about the material being released. To create an account, users must first take and pass a Star Wars quiz that has been tested and certifies the user as a ‘True Star Wars Fan’. To learn more and take the Quiz, Click Here.
The site also contains fan materials such as accurate timelines, quizzes, and more resources to assist even the most avid fan in learning and testing their Star Wars knowledge. Also in the works are articles that will provide in-depth insights to Star Wars ‘Fan Facts’ that are less well-known but provide unique perspective on the Star Wars galaxy as a whole. As Star Wars fans take quizzes, leave comments and engage with fellow fans, their profile midi-chlorian counts increase, demonstrating their sincere knowledge of Star Wars fandom for others to reference.
How will the discussion forums that are being developed be different from Reddit? While Reddit has excellent Star Wars communities, many of the comments made are primarily coy or witty as a means of evoking a response and increasing the user’s karma. At TrueSWFans, our discussion boards will contain parameters that promote thoughtful, engaging remarks and opinions that contain depth to ensure high-quality discussion. We recognize that, while not all individuals will share this goal, careful censorship of those comments and remarks that are not particularly thoughtful or meaningful will aid in promoting a deeper and perspective of the Star Wars franchise. Users who do demonstrate a high level of aptitude for engaging in thoughtful discussion and professional comments may be contacted individually to receive administrative positions on the site at a future date.
