Master of All Things Stormtrooper
Back in 78, when most users were just a glimpse in their dad´s eye, I was born in a tiny, yet culturally and economically rich country named Austria. When being 6 years old, I saw my first movie - "Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter". What´s that? Return of the Jedi for those who wasted years learning a language they can´t use anywhere ;)

I was a StarWars fan back then, but really became one again with Zahn´s Heir To The Empire Trilogy. It spawned a new SW fandom, and also - pretty important to me ;) - it caused Hasrbo to launch a full new line of Star Wars toys. So that´s my passion - collecting SW Stormtrooper and Clone toys ;) Got 223 by now, every one unique, and no end in sight.

I despise Episode I and quite a lot of EU (like Crystal Star or the Truce At Bakura cuz those two are pretty stupid). But I´m a Zahnologist, because not only has he written the very best SW novels (Thrawn Trilogy), but spawned a new generation of fans.

I got a teaching diploma and am interested in World History, pretty much an Expert in the two World Wars and quite good in everything from the 20th century.
