How did you get hooked on Star Wars I first saw SW in the summer of 1977. The moment Darth Vader stepped through the smoke and appeared in all his sinister looming evilz, I was hooked.

How did you find SWAP (or how did SWAP find you) I'm a founding member. Back in Jan of 2001, I googled 'star wars pittsburgh' found these boards and folks who were trying to start up a fanforce in Pittsburgh. Been here ever since.

Hobbies Crochet, writing emo dramaz fanfic, reading, spoiling my nephews/nieces, playing on the interwebz, SW and other scifi franchises

Favorite SW character and why Qui-Gon Jinn. Strongly principled, strong willed, doing his best to do what's right even if it brings him into conflict with others, teacher, he's got a dry sense of humor (look at that twinkle in his eye), flawed -- and yeah, the fact he is imperfect is one of the reasons I find him so interesting, and he is nice to look at.

Favorite non SW character Wash from Serenity

Favorite Star Wars Movie A New Hope

Favorite Non Star Wars Movie Casablanca

Favorite TV show I don't have one alltime favorite, although I'm a fan of Doctor Who, Project Runway, Good Eats, Supernatural and The Daily Show.

How did you get hooked on Star Wars? I was born the same year ANH came out, and my parents weren't big into movies, so I didn't see them the first time in theaters.

How did you find SWAP (or how did SWAP find you)? I met them at the Pittsburgh Comicon
Hobbies? costumes, customizing action figures, comics, video games, collecting toys, flea marketing

Favorite non SW character? Once again, that changes. Right now it's either Indiana Jones or Green Lantern
Favorite Star Wars Movie? I guess Empire Strikes Back
Favoirte Non Star Wars Movie? I don't have a favorite. I've been watching a lot of Tarentino lately
