"You're so easy with gifts- all I have to look for is Star Wars stuff!"

- Darth_Comrade's old friend

Darth_Comrade is a Computing Undergraduate in the UK and your average Star Wars fan. His first encounter with Star Wars was with the computer gameStar Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II by Lucasarts at the age of eleven. Ever since then he has been a fan of Kyle Katarn and the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Eventually he borrowed the original trilogy off a friend and realized what Star Wars was really about!

First Encounter
When Darth_Comrade's father returned home from work with a copy of a single level demo of Dark Forces II for him- he was immediately skeptical, but after some time he was captivated by the lightsaber, the blasters and especially the stormtroopers.

Almost a year later he was still replaying the same level over and over again- until almost a year and a half later when he finally found the actual game.

Discovering the Movies
It was only when Darth_Comrade's brother insisted that he saw a "Jedi Knight Movie" on TV did he begin to wonder about it. But his brother's indecisiveness about whether it was just a dream or not was very discouraging.

When visiting family friends one day the brothers found a toy X-Wing in their collection but when the boy was stunned that we couldn't identify it he offered to borrow us the movies the X-wing appeared in, to their pleasant surprise, the movies were called Star Wars.

Darth_Comrade returned home most excitedly and watched all movies consecutively- unfortunately, he couldn't count in Latin and so he watched them in the wrong order.

Later that year Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was released and Darth_Comrade watched his first Star Wars movie in UK theaters seven times and it was also the same year he found and bought the Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith collection.

Bu then Darth_Comrade officially called himself a Star Wars fan.

Facorite eras?
I love Star Wars in general- but I do prefer certain timelines, such as The Clone Wars era and The Rise of the Empire era.

They're both somewhat related in how they brought so much distraught and saw the deaths of so many Jedi. For so many years have I wondered about how the Jedi disappeared off the face of the galaxy and why so few knew about them?

So we got our answers at last...not pleasantly.

Favorite Movies in order
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - The great transformation. Beautiful drama. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Half the movie is practically the final battle! Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - The companionship shines here. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - So politically moving! Star Wars: A New Hope - Luke's first adventure. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - Anakin's first adventure.

Other interests
Star Wars may have been predominant in my youth, but I do have other interests and activities:


 * I was as an active member of the Kim Possible fan community (or Kimmunity) for three years from 2005-2008, but I left.


 * I'm sort of a Lord of the Rings fan as well as an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan.


 * I love writing and love debating about writing- which is why I'm so cynical about anything other than Star Wars, unless it gets my approval- such as the two epics I listed above.

Hobbies
I write Star Wars fanfiction among other things and I'm quite passionate about computer gaming.

I also enjoy Kung Fu and football.
