WALKING THE GALAXY (View our Mission Statement)

The journey of life takes us many places. We have all been lucky enough to have found New York Jedi, but life tends to keep moving, and some of us have had to move on. On this page are members of New York Jedi who have can no longer be active members for various reasons. Just because they're not here anymore doesn't mean they weren't or aren't integral and important to us. We never forget those who bring light into our life.

NYJedi is a warm, welcoming group of a special caliber of people that are rare and wonderful. They create brotherhood and friendship, and are out not to best each other, but to better each other.

Why am I a member:
My whole life I felt that I was the oddball of the group: listening to music and thinking of fight choreography, making up characters and stories, and always wishing I could live the lives I imagined for others. Somehow the Fates finally led me to NYJedi where I found like-minded people (imagine my shock!!) doing stuff I had always wanted to. How could I NOT be a member?!?!
