What type of Star Wars fan are you?

[Paladin]

I'm a recovering Star Wars nut. I have almost all of the books, but haven't read any new Star Wars books in a while.

[Judge Hades]

I am a former movie watcher. Avid fan of the original trilogy, hate the stupidity of the prequels, and I have read only three star wars novels (the Zahn Trilogy).

[Paladin]

The Thrawn trilogy are some of my favorite Star Wars books and Zahn's other books are great too.

[OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN]

Star Wars enthuasist, mainly because I love the Original Triology, and dabble a bit in the good EU...

[thepixiesrock]

I'm a huge fan of the Oringinal Trilogy. I havent read any of the books but i have spent some time reading about stuff in the databank at starwars.com

[Kdy-worker 1138]

I have seen the movies and now i dabble at the pnp d20 star wars ruleset (just got the books for free,did i mention that? )

[OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN]

I'm a huge fan of the Oringinal Trilogy. I havent read any of the books but i have spent some time reading about stuff in the databank at starwars.com

So do I, some of that stuff in there is interesting...and no KDY, you haven't mentioned that ...all in good fun...

[Judge Hades]

I owned the Star Wars d20 for a while now and my roommate owns quite a number of WEG books.

[Guest Michael Chu]

I'm a big fan of Star Wars. In addition to the movies (of course), I've read almost all of the Expanded Universe novels, a good chunk of the comics and am currently working on the young adult books. I kinda like this KotOR game, too.

 

And, um, I did most of that for fun.

[GhostofAnakin]

Star Wars enthusiast.

 

I've watched the movies countless times, and have almost all the books/novels.

[Indalecio]

Recovering Star Wars Nut. Used to read the books alot way back in high school. Now, not so much.

[Darth Jebus]

Star Wars dabbler in that I love the OT, don't necessarily hate the prequels, though they leave alot to be desired. I've never read any of the novels and haven't owned a Star Wars comic since the Return of the Jedi adaptations in 1983. I LOVE the Old Republic era though. Something about it feels so Classic and gritty.

[Child of Flame]

Recovering Star Wars Nut. Used to read the books alot way back in high school. Now, not so much.

That's pretty much how it was for me....except I read them in gradeschool, then progressed to more mature themed books as I got older....does this make me weird.

[OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN]

I read a combination of the both...more of the latter though...

[Dead Skin Mask]

I am definitely a Star Wars enthusiast I have watched the origional trilogy countless times and have read some of the books and comics. The reason I don't consider myself a Star Wars nut is I have never dressed up as a Star Wars character, I don't collect the toys, and I have never gone to a Star Wars convention or debated Star Wars lore at Bennigans.

 

 

 

Cheers!

[JohnDoe]

I'd be a Dabbler. Slightly more than a movie watcher, but not by much.

[mkreku]

I should probably go and watch the movies at least, huh? I did see some of the old ones, don't remember which.. must have been 10 years ago or something.

 

I'm here because of the Obsidian crew, not because of Star Wars.

[DemonKing]

I guess I am a bit of a nut - saw the first film when I was 7 in the cinema and have been ever since.

 

I collect all the bad-guys as far as figures/vehicles go, so have tons of stormtroopers, bounty-hunters, Sith-Lords etc but not an ewok or Luke in sight.

 

Haven't read too much of the EU stuff but have been getting into the Empire series of comics.

[Ivan the Terrible]

- Love the OT, even (for all its faults) Return of the Jedi. Alongside Raiders of the Lost Ark, the best kind of popcorn cinema and the ideal to which other, similiar films should strive.

 

- Never got into the EU. I read the first of the Admiral Thrawn novels years and years ago, but never went any farther. Other than that, have read no Star Wars novels or anything.

 

- Own numerous sourcebooks for the old PNP Star Wars game (that is, the one prior to D20.) From what I've seen of D20, the old game did a better job, but I own only one D20 sourcebook (The Dark Side Sourcebook, bought when I was in a real Star Wars mood following the end of KOTOR.)

 

- The Prequels = incredibly disappointing. I'd rather have an enema with battery acid than watch those Episode II 'love' scenes again. Both of them are monuments to hubris, and the ego of a man who doesn't realize he can't write a script to save his life.

 

- Favorite Star Wars game prior to KOTOR: TIE Fighter. I've never been able to play a Star Wars game since without making unfortunate comparisons about how the 'bad guys' are portrayed; TIE Fighter made a solid, interesting case for the Empire over the Rebellion, and I ate it up.

[darthhair]

Star Wars obsessed (only thinks about Star Wars)

 

well , star wars and chicks

 

i love the books , i collect everything i can get my gruggy hands on , and i like doing costumes and props

[EnderAndrew]

I read every Star Wars novel up until NJO. I haven't touched a Star Wars novel since Vector Prime.

 

I did buy the new Zahn and give it to my girlfriend. Eventually I'll read it.

[SilverSun]

I read every Star Wars novel up until NJO. I haven't touched a Star Wars novel since Vector Prime.

 

Sounds like what I've done,though I've been considering picking up the NJO books just to give them a shot.

[EnderAndrew]

I've considered picking up the Prequel timeframe novels.

[SilverSun]

I've considered picking up the Prequel timeframe novels.

 

I wouldn't mind adding them to my collection but I'll wait till the Ep3 book is out.

 

I hadn't really kept up on the novels in while,noticed the other day how many books are out there that take place either before ep1 or during the time frame of ep1-ep3.

[EnderAndrew]

Del Rey seems less picky in choosing authors, and keeping the storyline coherent and consistent. And the Episode 1 novelization by Brooks was pretty good despite Episode 1 being a bad movie.

 

Maybe the Prequel books are better.
