Hey, I'm Jonjedigrandmaster aka Jonathan (or just Jon, if you prefer), welcome to my user page.

A little bit about me
My name is Jonathan, I'm 16, and for being a Star Wars geek I'm pretty athletic. Most of my Star Wars knowledge comes from my many novels; I don't have any comics, and I only have a few games and sourcebooks. But what I lack in my collection I make up for with learning stuff here on Wookieepedia. I became a regular visitor here a long time ago, and eventually decided to join and begin editing.

Wookieepedia
I joined Wookieepedia on January 1, 2009. Since then, I have become an active member of WookieeProject Legacy Era, mainly working on FotJ articles. I am Chief Editor of WookieeProject New Sith Wars, I occasionally write articles for WookieeProject Ambition, and I also guest nom for WookieeProject: The Clone Wars and WookieeProject Aliens.

I was admitted into the AgriCorps on July 19, 2009, and in August of 2009 I was awarded Wookieepedian of the Month. On December 20, 2009, I was admitted into the Inquisitorius, and on December 22, 2009, I was awarded rollback rights.

I'm on IRC pretty much daily (at least, when the internet here cooperates, which it hasn't much recently), where I am known by several nicknames, including Jon, Jonny, Jj, Juji, JJGM, Jujiggum, Juicy-fruit gum&mdash;or just Juicy, or Juicy of Unparalleled Juiciness&mdash;and Jiggles, but I'll answer to pretty much any other obscure name that begins with a J which you can think of. I can usually be found in #wookieepedia, as well as occasionally in #WP:LE and #WP:TCW.

Things I'm liking

 * Fate of the Jedi! (Obviously)
 * Backlash is here!!!
 * Backlash was good. I thought Outcast was a bit better, but still, it had plenty of action and plotting, and the ending was good; I didn't see it coming.
 * Almost halfway through it right now, and acually kinda liking the NJO.
 * Edge of Victory I was WIN
 * Anakin Solo. Great character so far in the NJO. Too bad he dies so soon.
 * Clone Wars novels. Especially Shatterpoint, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Medstar, The Cestus Deception, and yeah, even some Republic Commando.
 * Darth Caedus' development throughout LotF. Yep, I said it. No, you shouldn't shoot me. Yeah, I deserve a medal.
 * Drew Karpyshyn. Loved his work on Darth Bane. Bring him back for more Sith-related stuff, please. Like a Zannah/Cognus series. Or Darth Plagueis. or a Plagueis/Sidious novel/series. Or anything having anything to do with the Order of the Sith Lords. Thank you.
 * So (pretty much by default) as far as I'm concerned, the entire Darth Bane trilogy, along with Darths Bane, Zannah, and Cognus, are all EPIC WIN
 * Paul S. Kemp. Crosscurrent had a great writing style; looking forward to more from this guy, too. And you know what else I like about him? The man did his homework. Stuff was described accurately, pertaining to how things are supposed to be in previously existing canon. Which, for a first-time author and a novel that takes place in two distinctly separate time frames, is pretty damn impressive.
 * Timothy Zahn. Thrawn, More Thrawn, and Even More Thrawn. Need I say more? (Because, if I do, I could add Jade, Hands, More Hands, Karrde, Car'das&hellip;I think you get the picture&hellip;)

Things which vex me

 * Movie purism
 * Lucasbashing&mdash;although, to an extent, he deserves some of it. I mean, let's face it&mdash;Jar Jar sucks. And it's hard to sit through some of the love scenes in AotC; I think my little brother could write less awkward dialogue. But you know what? He still created this whole freaking galaxy. And that deserves unlimited, unreserved, and otherwise undying props.
 * Overly Fandalorian people&mdash;Jujiggum glares long and hard at Karen Traviss. AND overly anti-Fandalorian people&mdash;Jujiggum glares long and hard at a large portion of the Wook's user base. ;)
 * TCW. Okay, so I put up with it as best as I can. And there are some good, maybe even almost great, episodes. But yeah. Most of it&mdash;especially how much it screws with continuity&mdash;sucks.
 * People who say they'll freak out if a major character (Luke/Leia/Han etc.) dies. You know what? It's gonna happen eventually. Grow up. Deal with it. I'll still be a fan of Star Wars, because I don't think it'll ruin the franchise.

Philosophy

 * "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." Then I, as a Star Wars fan, must be a Sith. I have come to accept the whole EU, as I have come to realize that there are only two real options&mdash;you can disregard all of it, and be a movie purist, or you can accept all of it, good and bad. There is no in choose and pick. So I may not like it all&mdash;''Jujiggum glares at Fandalorians, the overly-anti-Fandalorians, TCW, and the fact that so many people in the galaxy haven't even heard of the Sith, even though the Sith invaded the galaxy multiple times in the last 5,000 years, including some very recent conflicts, (but maybe history courses aren't required for all galactic citizens?)&mdash;but I accept it all.
