Hello!

I am (surprise!) Matthew Fishwick, and I am long time Star Wars fan.

This was brought about through my addiction (Out in the open for all to know!) to Star Wars computer games during the 2000s...

Okay that's a kind of negative way of viewing it, so how did I really become a palpable Star Wars 'geek'? Simple! My dad bought the Star Wars Trilogy 'special edition' in 1997 and so I had watched all those films a quite considerable number of times when I purchased Knights of The Old Republic in 2004. Nowadays I do not (frequently) re-watch any of the films, but I sure can appreciate them!

In any case, I found KoTOR to be an almost absurdly fun game, with a seemingly infinite number of ways one could enjoy the game experience through a single play through. That definitely brought me closer to understanding the breadth of the Star Wars universe but with all that it wasn't really until KoTOR II that I considered myself a Star Wars fan (in the sense of being willing to read books, enjoy cross-sections of ships, study the (sic) galaxy's history). Sure I enjoyed eclectic aspects of the universe, but it made little sense to me to devote time to a fictional universe.

With KOTOR II however, I was considering that I was mistaken, and that not only was the Star Wars universe huge, but it was 'zestful' and unique.

Nowadays I do not spend much of time indulging in the media of Star Wars as I am focusing on my Self-Actualization process (for an explanation and the benefit of others: http://www.clarity-of-being.org/index.htm). However I find worthwhile ways I can re-connect and indeed on occasion learn more about the universe, one of which being here (not that I would ever use this as a source)!

Anyways I am willing to help out with what I know, and if I make an error let me know - I'm only human (even though 'smart')
