i love the films, OT & PT equally. i like most of the star wars games and some of the EU is alright.

i have the darth vader & obi-wan unleashed figures sitting on top of my computer and i do own a lightsaber which lights up and make noises. but i don't dress up or go to conventions.

 

i guess i would class myself as a medium star wars geek :D

I think I know the one you're refering to. Close, but no cigar. Besides, I've had that bit of symbolism assosiated with me for the last 15 years.

As for the EU, I like some of it.

 

The NJO can go to hell.

The times I thought people dressing up was cool were:

- At Star Wars weekends at Disney - sure, most were paid actors, but there were also enough geeks sweating to death in costume out there to make it even more of a fun environment.

- At the IMax Theatre premier of AotC. We went when they were to be there, and the lobby was just full ... made a very fun environment - made it more of an event.

 

The NJO 'can' go? I thought that *was* its' address? ;)

 

It is amazing that the NJO - moreso than 'Greedo Shot First' or 'Jar Jar' or anything else - is *the* most divisive thing in the Star Wars universe.

I'm not sure about that, since the majority of Star Wars casual fans don't even know what the NJO is. Everyone knows about Jar Jar :)

I would bet that most casual watches of the SW Trilogy SE never caught the Greedo thing, either.

 

But among fans - and vocal types like we have here - adding those threee letters to any thread are a sure course for derailment ... and a rabid and rapid derailment at that.

* * * quick diversion of topic ***

 

Poor NJO, I really dont understand peoples severedislike of it.. ppl go on and on about Thrawn and Zahn and all the 'older EU' I have just re-read the Thrawn trilogy in preparation for the new Zahn novel and really found it dated..... and Zahns writing style isnt a shade on Matt Stovers, or James Luceno for that matter....

 

of course all of you who have never ventured into the NJO will miss out on reading arguably the greatest EU novel ever, "Traitor" by Matt Stover, which essentially has 2 characters in it the whole way.....

 

However I dont want this pretty thread to turn into a NJO brawl, that belongs in the EU forum

 

* * * back to topic * * *

 

I'm just happy we're getting an Ep3 to begin with...so Im trying to be open minded and spoiler free for ep3..... dont think i'll dress up at the premiere though...maybe just my ANH t-shirt... :)

Nerd, through and through. As bad as, say, Jim Luceno himself? No. Close? Yes... and I've only been reading the books for about 7 years, but I had all the published ones except for the Bounty Hunter and The Black Fleet Crisis done within the first three years... since then it's been "wait until the next one comes out..."

 

Astro! Give these a little more time on the polls! I go away for a few days, come back, and find a closed poll that didn't even exist before!

 

I haven't gotten into the comics much, though I'd like to (just don't have time, what with my classes - it was work to read through TUF again after Christmas break ended).

 

NJO - my personal fav. Let's go get a brawl started in the EU section; everyone's invited! Between Traitor and The Unifying Force - not to mention the rest of the series - it's awesome!

 

Games? Oh yeah. I haven't played KOTOR (my PC won't run it. as Astro already knows) or Rebel Strike, and I never got XWA though I wanted it. Other than that, I've played every modern console and/or PC game at least somewhat.
