I've only recently really gotten into it thanks to Clone Wars. My favorite characters are General Grievous and Cad Bane, but I like everyone fairly equally... except Ahsoka. I don't really care much for the OT, honestly, because I'm just kinda tired of it ATM. Mmmm, blasphemy. Other than that, I draw and I'm generally a very uninteresting person. Awwwww, yeah.* -----signature----- "You better not fail me, bubble brain." My Fan Art: http://tinyurl.com/meks-art LJ's first Cad Bane Community: http://community.livejournal.com/fistfullofduros/

	Interesting. Most interesting. XD User Name: koonfan. Derived from Kombat Offensive Octogenerian Neophyte.....or Plo Koon, with 'fan' added at the end. Real Name: Tim Age: 19 Status: Single Star Sign: Capricorn...not that it's especially interesting. >_> Location: Selangor, Malaysia, land of Mangled English, or...MANGLISH Job/School: Student, leisure-time writer Favorite Food(s): Western...ooh! And waffles! Waffles! WAFFLES!!!! Favorite Drink: Ice cold water, and the occasional orange juice or hundred plus Favorite Music: If it's good, I'll listen to it. I've preferences for jazz, blues, salsa, and 70s music...to add to this eclectic mix, I'm also going to say 'video game music'. I can just FEEL your respect for me dropping. I have also found electronic music to be an interesting and pleasing change of pace. Recent Stuff I've Liked: Marvel projects and Pixar movies...then again, they aren't recent, nor is my liking them new...hmm...ah well, I'll just cop out and say Green Lantern. XD Favorite Shows: Numb3rs, Whose Line is it Anyway, Frasier Favorite (non-SW) Films: The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Iron Man, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Titan A.E., Transformers (retro AND modern) Favorite OT Film: Return of the Jedi Favorite PT Film: Revenge of the Sith Favorite Clone Wars Episode: Innocents of Ryloth (and I'll bet you were thinking I'd say 'the one with Plo Koon' ) Currently Reading: ......does my own personal story in my head count? Last Vacation: What was formerly known as the Prince of Wales island. Bonus points to anybody who figures out where that is. Current car: Not applicable. I'm a laid back guy who likes a nice laugh. Being kind, idealistic and fun-loving, I naturally like a good story that aims to be uplifting, hence my preference for Season 1's premiere. The answer 'what's new with you', in my case, can be answered with a single uniform answer most of the time: I'm fine, I do college work when I have to, I write now and then, I'm waiting for anime/cartoons/videogames/movies/TCW. I'm a writer, though since I'm also fairly laid back (which is a polite way of saying lazy), I take it as more of a hobby. It's definitely one of the BIGGEST things in my life, though. Oh. And I like character creation and small, easily managed RP forums. In fact, if I ever find a cool series I start to get into, one of the things I inevitably end up doing is thinking up versions of me and my friends for that show. Yes, I'm a loser. XD My DREAM goals in life, which I hope will end up being real someday, are (from first to last): -Writer of my very own story, which hopefully ends up spawning a graphic novel and animated series -Writer for an awesome series, be it The Clone Wars, Warcraft, or Marvel Comics/Animation -Voice actor. Yes. XD -----signature----- Season 2: Preview-free since episode three! =D This is Star-Wars-Galaxy-of-Adventure, not Star-Wars-Galaxy-of-Angst “Only a diseased mind thinks Plo Koon is the best character."-George Lucas

	So all those seconds I spent searching this item in Wikipedia went to waste? Not cool... Favourite TV shows: THE SIMPSONS. During my time in the UK I fell in love with some of their shows like Q.I., "Mock the Week", "Have I Got News For You" and "Top Gear". Such a pity I'll never see those again... -----signature----- If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
