Hey, I'm Jonjedigrandmaster aka Jonathan (or just Jon, if you prefer), welcome to my user page.

A little bit about me
My name is Jonathan, I'm 16, and for being a Star Wars geek I'm pretty athletic. Most of my Star Wars knowledge comes from my many novels; I don't have any comics, and I only have a few games and sourcebooks. But what I lack in my collection I make up for with learning stuff here on Wookieepedia. I became a regular visitor here a long time ago, and eventually decided to join and begin editing.

Wookieepedia
I joined Wookieepedia on January 1, 2009. Since then, I have become an active member of WookieeProject Legacy Era, mainly working on FotJ articles. I am Chief Editor of WookieeProject New Sith Wars, I occasionally write articles for WookieeProject Ambition, and I also guest nom for WookieeProject: The Clone Wars and WookieeProject Aliens.

I was admitted into the AgriCorps on July 19, 2009, and in August of 2009 I was awarded Wookieepedian of the Month. On December 20, 2009, I was admitted into the Inquisitorius, and on December 22, 2009, I was awarded rollback rights.

I'm on IRC pretty much daily (at least, when the internet here cooperates, which it hasn't much recently), where I am known by several nicknames, including Jon, Jonny, Jj, Juji, JJGM, Jujiggum, Juicy-fruit gum&mdash;or just Juicy, or Juicy of Unparalleled Juiciness&mdash;and Jiggles, but I'll answer to pretty much any other obscure name that begins with a J which you can think of. I can usually be found in #wookieepedia, as well as occasionally in #WP:LE and #WP:TCW.

Things I'm liking

 * Fate of the Jedi! (Obviously)
 * So, Allies was pretty freaking great. Plenty of subplots, although I wish there had been fewer subplots to allow for more expansion on each individual one. But anyway, I'm impressed with Christie Golden so far; she's got a good writing style, and Allies was definitely just as well-written as Omen. Other than that, I don't have too much to say except that some serious shit went down, and I'm totally stoked for Vortex.
 * About Just past halfway through it right now, and acually kinda liking not really minding back to kinda liking the NJO. Enemy Lines was good enough to bring my opinion back up again.
 * The Edge of Victory duology was WIN
 * Anakin Solo. Great character in the NJO. Too bad he died so soon.
 * Clone Wars novels. Especially Shatterpoint, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Medstar, The Cestus Deception, and yeah, even some Republic Commando. You know, RC isn't really that bad&mdash;I don't even see it as incriminalizing the Jedi Order. It's really just the Clone Wars seen from another faction's point of view. Now, I don't necessarily agree with that point of view, but that doesn't mean that the novels themselves are awfully written.
 * Darth Caedus' development throughout LotF. Yep, I said it. No, you shouldn't shoot me. Yeah, I deserve a medal.
 * Drew Karpyshyn. Loved his work on Darth Bane. Bring him back for more Sith-related stuff, please. Like a Zannah/Cognus series. Or Darth Plagueis. Or a Plagueis/Sidious novel/series. Or anything having anything to do with the Order of the Sith Lords. Thank you.
 * So (pretty much by default) as far as I'm concerned, the entire Darth Bane trilogy, along with Darths Bane, Zannah, and Cognus, are all EPIC WIN
 * Paul S. Kemp. Crosscurrent had a great writing style; looking forward to more from this guy, too. And you know what else I like about him? The man did his homework. Things were described accurately, pertaining to how they were already described to be in previously existing canon. Which, for a first-time author and a novel that takes place in two distinctly separate time frames, is pretty damn impressive.
 * Timothy Zahn. Thrawn, More Thrawn, and Even More Thrawn. Need I say more? (Because, if I do, I could add Jade, Hands, More Hands, Karrde, Car'das&hellip;I think you get the picture&hellip;)

Things which vex me

 * Movie purism
 * Lucasbashing&mdash;although, to an extent, he deserves some of it. I mean, let's face it&mdash;Jar Jar sucks. And it's hard to sit through some of the love scenes in AotC; I think my little brother could write less awkward dialogue. But you know what? He still created this whole freaking galaxy. And that deserves unlimited, unreserved, and otherwise undying props.
 * Overly Fandalorian people&mdash;Jujiggum glares long and hard at Karen Traviss (Yes, I realize I said earlier that I didn't mind the RC novels that much, but at the same time, these crazy fetishes have to stop somewhere). AND overly anti-Fandalorian people&mdash;Jujiggum glares long and hard at a large portion of the Wook's user base. ;)
 * TCW. Okay, so I put up with it as best as I can. And there are some good, maybe even almost great, episodes. But yeah. Most of it&mdash;especially how much it screws with continuity&mdash;sucks.
 * Anakin's death in Star by Star wouldn't have bothered me nearly so much if&hellip; (1) he had actually been given a bit of character development in Star By Star, (2) his and Tahiri's romance had actually, you know, looked like a romance&mdash;I mean, c'mon, throughout the entire mission to Myrkr, hell, throughout the entire novel, Tahiri is hardly mentioned at all&mdash;and (3) the rest of the book's ending wasn't quite so badly written. Well, except for Feylya's death. That bit wasn't badly done. And you know? For some reason I don't really mind the fact that he was made into a martyr.
 * People who say they'll freak out if a major character (Luke/Leia/Han etc.) dies. You know what? It's gonna happen eventually. They're not invincible, and neither should they be. They're human, which means they're going to have to die at some point. I just hope that they go down swinging, doing something freaking awesome.

Other stuff

 * I hate it when supposed fans of Star Wars bash the franchise, especially on this site. We're a freaking Star Wars encyclopedia. If you hate Star Wars so much, then what are you doing here? Okay, so I get that Star Wars has a huge variety of topics, and not all of them may be found likeable by everybody; hell, I've said above that over-Fandalorianism can get annoying, and there are a bunch of things I dislike about TCW, and I've pointed out a couple imperfections in Star By Star. But that's it. I don't go around making snide comments in an SH or a CT and I definitely don't vote against stuff on QOTD simply because I dislike the source. As far as I'm concerned, you might as well be disrupting the site to prove a point&mdash;ironically enough, in this case, to prove that you dislike Star Wars. Well, here's an answer for you: if you hate that aspect of Star Wars so much, then don't associate with it. Or if it makes you feel better about yourself, then go whine about it on some other forum, where other people whine about stuff, too. But don't complain on an encyclopedia about Star Wars, and I'll say again: don't disrupt the site's functions, even if its something as trivial as QOTD, just to prove that you hate a certain Star Wars subject.
 * "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." Then I, as a Star Wars fan, must be a Sith. I have come to accept the whole EU, as I have come to realize that there are only two real options&mdash;you can disregard all of it, and be a movie purist, or you can accept all of it, good and bad. There is no in choose and pick. So I may not like it all&mdash;Jujiggum glares at Fandalorians, the overly-anti-Fandalorians, TCW, and the fact that so many people in the galaxy haven't even heard of the Sith, even though the Sith invaded the galaxy multiple times in the last 5,000 years, including some very recent conflicts (Hey, maybe history courses aren't required for all galactic citizens?)&mdash;but I accept it all.
