Introduction
Hello, Wookieepedia! Name's AJ Hagen, and this is my first venture into the wide world of wiki'ing. I'm sixteen years old and living in Minnesota, trying to figure out why I was born in this galaxy and not another one. I'm involved in many typical High School activities that keep me more occupied than I care to be, but not so occupied that I can't have fun on a site like this.

Star Wars history
From when I was very young, the Star Wars universe has been an integral part of my life. As young as age four, I would wake up at 5:30 or earlier and rush downstairs to pop in a VHS of one of the original trilogy. This early-bird habit didn't die down until I was nearly eight, when my love of Star Wars was furthured. As it turns out, my father had been a moderate fan of the series when the first movies had come out, and he had been interested enough to buy and read several books. Fortunately for me, these books ended up being the Thrawn Trilogy. As you could imagine, I was in Star Wars heaven. When I wasn't thinking about the newest exploits of Han, Luke, and Leia, or the mysterious new Mara Jade, I was dreaming about being one of them. It had a major impact on my young, influenciable mind, and I went somewhat crazy in my attempt to find more books. My searching lead me to my favorite series, the X-Wing series, and my favorite main character to this day: Corran Horn. I devoured the books, and when Christmas rolled around once more, you can guess what was the only thing on my list.

As I got older, my love of Star Wars refused to diminish. What did let down was my cash. Yes, without the precious dough, I just couldn't buy the books that I needed to satiate my hunger for more. So here I am now, with nearly one hundred books to my name, but infuriated because I don't have the rest of the New Jedi Order books.
