"Do your research!" - Kent Brockman, Channel Six News

Hey --

So I'm Paul Ens, known online as "Ghent" since about 1993. At that time, there was no "web"... but I was an active Star Wars fan through the various usenet groups - "rassm" in particular (for you old-timers).

In 1996, I hooked up with some guys transitioning their Star Wars website from a server at Texas A&M to a new domain called TheForce.net. I was with TFN until 1999 when a lunch at Skywalker Ranch landed me a job at Lucasfilm.

Now I'm Director of Lucas Online at Lucasfilm, overseeing the activities of the various Lucas websites, including starwars.com and others.

I've "yadda yadda"ed over most of the best parts. ... All topics for future blog entries.
