    I've been lurking way too much here, so I decided simply to join, even if I'll keep lurking. Anyway, I have some weird facisnation with obscure parts of the EU, with some of my favorite characters being Captain Fordo, Bataal Bandu, Kadann, and Halagad Ventor, so excuse me if I get a little rabid about meaningless characters as those (except Fordo, who is totally amazing :p). I'm still relatively new to the EU, not even reading a full novel (besides Labyrinth of Evil) until I found Dark Lord and Outbound Flight a year and a half ago(though I spoiled myself plenty by going to Wookiepedia), but I have read through the LOTF series recently, hating each and every one until I forced myself to quit in chapter 3 of Revelation, after finishing the ball of suck that was Book 6(What was it called..Rage? Fury? I don't recall). So I guess I'm...sorta...kinda possibly caught up in the EU, except for FOTJ, which I still haven't spoiled myself to.

    tl;dr version of my intro monologue is: Hello, and Captain Fordo FTW.

    EDIT: Forgot about my obligatory "Star Wars In My Life" speech. I had watched the movies ever since I was about 2, and being the repetitive child I was, I'd watch it every day right after lunch, and bring out my action figures to act it out while the VCR playing. I also read the GODV series when I was 3, and my parents read me many children's books such as that Darth Maul thing, and all of those Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon books. they also probably read me TTT, but it's been so long that I can't recall.
    But my fondest Star Wars memory was in between the releases of AOTC and ROTS, when I made a whole script of Star Wars Episode VII, starring Ben Skywalker, Luke's son(who was me, the naming was a coincidence), going on random adventures like fighting some monster Count Dooku clone called Bylanian Dooku or soemthing, then dueling a giant mountain monster or something with Wedge Antillies, who Ben had taught (along with a ressurected Biggs Darklighter) to become a jedi. I was going to send the script to George Lucas, and then I would get the film released worldwide and it was going to be so cool. At least it wasn't the "revised" script where there was this huge battle on Yavin 4 including a dude on fire named Flamer, and a force-adept droid named Mega Droid, then Ben goes to the Jedi Academy to learn with Luke and Mace Windu, who had survived Episode III by recalling his saber with the force and slowing the fall by stabbing it into the wall of a building.

    Okay, now I'm done :p
