I was born only about half a year beforeReturn of the Jedi first came out, so I'm not really sure when I first "got into"Star Wars. Suffice it to say, though, I've been a fan for quite a while, both of the movies, television works and material from theExpanded Universe. That said, I have no issues withDisney and I understand why they did what they did in regards to the Expanded Universe-- in light of their upcoming plans for the films andRebels, keeping the Expanded Universe ascanon just doesn't make sense and the new system will finally provide an opportunity to have a more properly unified canon, given all of the messy contradictions that had cropped up over the years with all of the stuff out there. I'm already excited about some of the decisions that have been made, such as havingJames Luceno write aTarkin novel and hiring esteemed children's authors likeTony DiTerlizzi andR.J. Palacio to write Young Reader's editions of stories from theoriginal trilogy.

You'll probably notice me working a lot on canon articles, though I do read/watch past "Legends" material and may edit those articles from time-to-time. You may also see me doing maintenance work such as proofreading, formatting, or taking care of categorization or fixing templates, largely as part of some of the massive work that has to be done when it comes to updating the wiki to reflect Canon/Legends. I also regularly keep an eye out for upcoming releases such asStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Read-Along Storybook and CD and have been adding info on these as it becomes available.

Wookieepedia is the only wiki I'm currently very active on, but I am an inactive admin for a number of wikis, most notably theHarry Potter Wiki. I've also contributed heavily to theMemory Alpha (Star Trek) wiki in the past and I pretty much built the wiki forEternal Sonata from the ground-up.
