Yep, you guessed it: my first fandom is Star Wars! And it will continue to be part of my life for a while now, I hope. Episode VII! Sure hope it's good.
I first watched Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope when I was about 8, give or take a few years. I loved it from the start. The feeling of flying in a spaceship was exhilarating and amazing, and I wouldn't have minded a lightsaber to deal with my younger siblings, but I had no idea what I had just done to my life. I quickly watched the rest of the movies, and loved them all. (I would only realize later how crushingly awful The Phantom Menace was. I still stand by Jar-Jar Binks as comic relief.) My love was mild at first, but then I discovered the Star Wars Expanded Universe... (which apparently no longer exists. Ugggggggg!)
That was the end.
First it was just the teen novels:
Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights: Heirs of the Force This whole series is amazing! |
Then it was Fate of the Jedi:
Then it was X-Wings:
Star Wars: X-Wing: Rouge Squadron Wedge Antilles is a freaking boss. Also Corran Horn. And Gavin Darklighter. And Tycho Celchu. And Ooryl Qyrgg. And Asyr Sei'lar. And Whistler. And Mirax Terik. |
Then:
Star Wars: Choices of One Mara Jade is the best ever. And she has a purple lightsaber. |
Star Wars: Darth Plagueis The Sith are fascinating. And so are the origins of Emperor Palpatine. |
Star Wars: Heir to the Empire This book is the first in the Expanded Universe. It coined the term. It is amazing. Basically, if something is written by Timothy Zahn, it is awesome. |
Star Wars: Outbound Flight This is an amazing book about exploration and Jedi and what happens at the edges of the galaxy far, far away. |
Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Precipice This series is amazing. It is one of the few Star Wars books I have currently bought. It is amazing and philosphical and I love it, and I cried. |
Star Wars: Scoundrels This is about Han Solo before he joined the Rebellion. Oh my gosh, I love that man. And Chewbacca. And Lando Calrissian. Smugglers... |
Star Wars: Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter This one is scary, and sad, and heartbreakingly painful. I love it! |
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void There are no words for how amazing this book is. |
Favorite Characters:
Jaina Solo I love her. She is such a strong female character, and doesn't take crap from anyone. She takes after her mom, Princess Leia Organa Solo. |
Wedge Antilles The best X-wing pilot in the New Republic. Excepting, of course, Luke Skywalker. He is amazing. |
Yoda You know who he is. And you probably know why he's up here. |
Favorite Planet:
Ithor It is so beautiful. |

Chorus of the Day!
Guess the Song!
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me.
I said you're holding back,
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me
Just keep your eyes on me.
I said you're holding back,
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me
