About Me
I am very OCD about everything I do, a big completionist. I feel that if you are going to watch a movie or play a video game or something, you should have watched/played/read everything in that series that came out before it. Because of this I create timelines for everything I do, if I wanted to play a certain video game I'd have to create a timeline of every video game in the series with their release dates, and the novels/spinoffs etc. This sometimes drives the fun out of doing anything, but if I do try to play something out of order I always have this nagging feeling that I should have played the previous ones. Maybe I'm missing something because I don't know the full story!

I'm a strong believer in doing things by release date rather then in-universe chronology. What if you had seen the prequel trilogy before seeing the original trilogy? That'd be lame, it definitely wouldn't be as cool, the prequel trilogy was written anticipating that everyone who watched it would have seen the original trilogy first. Just because it takes place before the original trilogy doesn't mean you should watch it first. Or what if you had seen Star Trek: Enterprise before seeing every other series'? You would miss all the references to the later shows, you'd be very confused watching the last episode.

I've been a Star Wars fan for years, I watched all the movies of course, and mostly just played the video games. But it always bugged me how I didn't know everything there was to know about it, I was always missing some obscure reference or not knowing the background of a certain character, it drove my crazy. Creating a Star Wars timeline would be much harder then any other timeline I had ever made, the media goes up in the thousands, there was never a place where I could see all the media created to organize a timeline, it was impossible! But then Wookieepedia was made, and it is probably the most complete source of Star Wars knowledge ever, with it came almost every release date for almost everything. I was finally able to start making a timeline for Star Wars. Just recently it is complete: List of all Star Wars media. I made it an article in hopes of other people fixing mistakes I could have made, or adding stuff I may have missed.

So now that I have the timeline, I'm going to try and watch/read everything on there.. it'll probably take me a few years, and some of the stuff I'm probably not going to be able to obtain, but I'll try anyway.
