http://blogs.starwars.com/jedihistorian"Look, everybody always figures the time they live in is the most epic, most important age to end all ages. But tyrants and heroes rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces." - Jolee Bindo, <i>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</i><br /> <br /> I am a lifetime student of history. The notion that history is written only from one side of things is, while popular, not entirely true. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a historian is the discovery of new information that completely changes our outlook on past events.<br /> <br /> My interests in Star Wars are broad, but I have a particular affinity for the Old Republic Era, set thousands of years before the events of the movie saga. This time period is filled with vivid stories where the characters are heroes in the classic style and the events are the stuff of legend. In my blog, I will explore different issues that arise within, and outside of, the Star Wars galaxy, always striving to seek new perspectives.en-us
