I don't remember, tbh. I probably got bored one day and decided to search "Star Wars forums" on Google. I imagine this was the first result that popped up, and I joined soon after.

Probably a typical story.

If anyone here has seen the YouTube videos by those "Versus" people (they pit two or more Star Wars characters against each other, discuss each of their advantages and disadvantages, and then decide a winner), then you might know of a fairly popular questionnaire that spread throughout that side of YouTube. The questionnaire wanted to know what my Sith name would be if I were to have one, and I chose something that sounded sinister and cool, while also sounding unique. The name "Kronos" stuck, mainly because of my interest in the Percy Jackson series.

I don't know if I have a favorite, mainly because I like each era for different reasons.

The Prequel Trilogy era is interesting, and it has a lot of storytelling potential. Someone could do something really creative and unique if they wanted to, but, unfortunately, this era has been left largely unexplored so far. The OT and ST eras are being explored more deeply. Which is fine, but I'd like to see more PT era content, ya know?

The Original Trilogy era is my favorite in terms of the films, but I think it has been extremely overexplored, especially the time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. I'd like to see something different, timeline-wise.

The Sequel Trilogy era is still developing, so, like with the PT era, I'd like more exploration. And, thankfully, I'm getting that with Episode IX, The Mandalorian, and Resistance. The politics of this era has been largely unexplained, with tidbits revealed from books, Resistance, and small moments in the films. This is unlike the other two eras, which have more information about the larger scope of the galaxy, and I'm interested to learn about the political landscape of this era before The Force Awakens.

So, the PT era for its creative and unique storytelling potential, the OT era for the films themselves, and the ST era for more knowledge the larger political landscape of the galaxy.

Definitely.

They're some of the greatest animals of all time, and they super goddamn adorable.

Velociraptors. They're the coolest dinosaurs, and I want to own an entire pack of them (if I was guaranteed safety from them, lol).

Winter. I love the weather, specifically the snow, the holidays, my birthday, and it's home to a new Star Wars film release (most of the time ).

Probably one of the big cities like Chicago or New York. I might want to go out-of-country and visit someplace like Europe. I'm not much of a traveler.

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!

Seriously, it's too hard for me to choose only one favorite character, so here's a list of some characters I love: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Finn, Rey, Poe Dameron, and Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.

The Empire Strikes Back. It raises the stakes, like any good sequel should do, but it also deepens the characters by separating them for most of the runtime. We see who Han, Luke, and Leia are as people before they reunite with one another.

I love puppies! What kind of person doesn't love puppies?!

Favorite dessert?

 

...nobody ever asked me how I picked my username

 

LOL! I noticed that. So how did you?

 

Haha, sorry to interrupt ur interview, Kronos, but... it's the name of a song from the Greatest Showman, which I like, but I really chose it because it's like a kinda reminder not to be afraid of how people are gonna judge me, cuz it doesn't really matter, and to just be myself. Kinda stupid, I know, but yeah, that's how And we all know where the 1138 comes from...

 

Fitz and Simmons. Yes, they're tied. I have reasons, but I don't want to spoil anything for you, so I'll stay silent.

The wolf? It's a bit like a velociraptor. At least, the velociraptor from my CHILDHOOD.

So, yeah.

The wolf.

Go wolves.

You're welcome, Dave Filoni. <3

It's been several years, but probably one of the times when I was vomiting. Also, I vividly remember getting a massive headache at one point (which are fairly common for me, but this was was unbearable). Over time, that developed into something else, where I had multiple red spots on my chest, and I think that was a specific type of fever or flu. Don't feel like Googling.

I don't know. Probably one of the Harry Potter books.

I've been slowly reading through the current canon Star Wars novels, and I've enjoyed most of them. Lost Stars and Leia: Princess of Alderaan were both fantastic books that broke me emotionally (Leia much less so, but still). Unfortunately, I haven't read Bloodline yet. I also loved Thrawn and the Rogue One novelization. Thrawn was an interesting tale about his origin story, and I enjoyed the Eli Vanto character a lot. He was one of my favorite characters in the book, second only to Thrawn himself. The Rogue One novelization, I think, was better than the actual film. It developed the characters far better, and it cemented the idea that they worked better when we could know their inner thoughts.

I can't choose, lol. I'm not an avid reader.

YES. HE'S JUST A SIMPLE FAMILY MAN TRYING TO MAKE HIS WAS IN THE UNIVERSE, DON'T YOU DARE JUDGE HIM.

I prefer Star Wars over Marvel, mainly because I got into that franchise before the other.

Honestly, though, I love both franchises for similar reasons. To me, character and properly developing one is the most important attribute of a film, and I think both franchises succeed in this aspect. Through the multiple films that have been released in each franchise, I've grown to love the characters, and, as such, I feel emotionally invested in their journeys and their eventual conclusions.

Woot woot!

Green. It's just always appealed to me.

Definitely typing. My handwriting sucks ass, so I will type any assignment I can.

Zathura? I remember loving the **** out of that movie when I was younger, and I still do to this day. It's honestly one of my favorite films of all time.

The St. Louis museum? Yeah, sure. When I first went there, I thought it was an actual museum, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that it was basically an indoor park. There was tons of **** to climb on, and the place was at its best whenever you didn't know where you were going.

WHY ARE YOU SO INQUISITIVE, BUT ALSO THANK YOU, I LOVE QUSTIONS.

Yeah, I've been in a few, but the only active one is The New Sith Trials. I love the collaborative effort it takes to write the story, and my favorite part about roleplaying is creating my own character and developing them throughout the game.

I hope to eventually branch off into the fan fiction section, but I need a story first.

Waffles. I like their crunchiness. And of course syrup goes on top. I'm not insane.

No. Actually, when things get completely silent, I suddenly hear an incessant ringing noise in my ear, and I find myself needing to turn on something that makes noise just to drown out the ringing.

Oreo Blizzard.

Hell yeah.

 

Favorite show growing up?

What is your dream car?

Favorite musical instrument?

High/low points of "Solo"?

 

@Darth Kronos

Your go to dish to cook?

Which food will take over the world?

Do you know any good jokes?

What would be the title of your biography?

 

Star Wars: The Clone Wars? It's the show I most fondly remember, and I still watch it to this day.

I'm not the type of person who cares about cars, so I don't have an answer. Sorry. :-(

The piano or guitar. I like how they sound, and they're the instruments I would most want to play.

Highs:
- Alden Ehrenreich's performance as Han Solo. He made the role his own without simply doing an imitation of Harrison Ford, and, at the end of the day, that was one of my biggest worries about the performance. Luckily, it was unwarranted.
- Donald Glover's performance as Lando Calrissian, though to a lesser extent. Unlike Ehrenreich, Donald Glover seemed to be impersonating Billy Dee Williams rather than making the role his own. Despite that, he still carried a ton of charisma, and I liked the fun, semi-friendly banter between the two characters.
- It was a smaller-scale story. Every other Star Wars film focused on the larger-scale conflict in the galaxy, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I found Solo's focus on the criminal underworld to be refreshing. Sure, they shoehorn in an ignited lightsaber and references to the larger Rebellion just for the sake of it, and I found that eyerolling, but the majority of the film was smaller-scale.

Lows:
- The secondary characters, specifically Rio and Val. They're portrayed by talented actors, but they're utterly wasted in roles that leave no lasting impact. They're introduced, they stay for a little while, and then they suddenly die. These characters weren't well developed, and I couldn't have cared less when they died.
- Though the scale of the story was refreshing, it was the opposite in virtually every other way. The entire film, like Rogue One, felt like a nostalgia check list rather than a story someone truly had passion for.

I don't cook often, lol. I guess eggs?

Tacos. Duh...

My existence...
