History
I first watched Star Wars when I was 9, on the Episode I premiere. Then, in a year I bought a pirate trilogy VHS collection. I started to getting into it. Just prior to AOTC, my SW library counted up to 20 books (I am russian, and books there are really cheap!), and about 10 comic books specials or TPBs (those, however were expensive). I've played nearly all major PC games, apart from the very first Dark Forces.

Personal opinions
For me, the best Star Wars movie was and always will be Jedi. Then goes Sith, Empire, Star Wars, Clones and my least favorite Menace, which was what actually started my SW-fan career.

Books
The best book authors are Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole. I also like James Luceno, Karen Traviss, Aaron Allston and Troy Denning, although the latter is sometimes a bit boring.

My favourite series is Zahn's storyline, and after that goes nearly all NJO books. Nearly all X-wing books are good. The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy is also interesting, because at least its not Rebels vs. Empire. Young Jedi Knights are ok, although I don't like Juniors.

Most books I like are probably on the same level of appreciation by other fans, but I will list the book series I don't like (not in the order of dislikliness):

1. Galaxy of Fear (read only 3, but was enough) 2. Junior Jedi Knights 3. Jedi Academy 4. The Crystal Star 5. The Adventures of Lando Calrissian 6. Splinter of the Mind's Eye 7. The Approaching Storm 8. The New Rebellion

Those above are the main ones.

Comics
Quinlan Vos storyline is the best! Duursema's art is perfect, and Ostrander's script is great! Marvel Star Wars have some glitches, probably because I've read it after I've read all DH ones, and becase all of them were the original ones scanned by some really lame person (if you are reading it, no offense). At the moment I am trying to find the A Long Time Ago reprints by DH.

I like Tales, Empire, [[Tales of the Jedi and I can't wait for the new KotOR series, as well as [[Star Wars: Rebellion|Rebellion.

Videogames
I Won't give any detailed info, apart from the fact that I am only a PC player. I have a PS2 at home, but I play it only when my junior stepbrother comes on holidays. Top 10 games (from the best to the worst):

Battlefront II KOTOR II: The Sith Lords Republic Commando Knights of the Old Republic Jedi Outcast Jedi Academy Lego Star Wars (it's just funny and easy) Battlefront X-Wing Alliance Rogue Squadron 3D Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight

Characters
Movies (first is the best): 1. Obi-Wan Kenobi 2. Darth Vader 3. Qui-Gon Jinn 4. Luke Skywalker 5. Boba Fett Special place goes to R2-D2.

EU: 1. Jacen Solo (I don't care what people say!) 2. Quinlan Vos 3. Thrawn 4. Lumiya (also the best Marvel storyline) 5. Mara Jade (first EU character I've heard about) 6. Tholme 7. Darth Revan 8. Jolee Bindo 9. Kyle Katarn 10. Carnor Jax
