TheForce.net, also known as TFN, is one of the oldest and most visited fan-run Star Wars news websites.
The site began in late 1996 as “Texas A&M University’s Star Wars Page,” founded by roommates Scott Chitwood and Darin Smith. Originally, the site was, in Chitwood’s words, “a few pictures and tons of text,” but it eventually outgrew its environment. In September 1997, TheForce.Net was born.
