As I type this, I have been involved with Star Wars as a contributor to the &lt;i&gt;Star Wars Insider&lt;/i&gt; (Issue #74), &lt;i&gt;Star Wars Gamer&lt;/i&gt; (Issue #9), and many issues of &lt;i&gt;Scrye&lt;/i&gt; (for the Star Wars CCG); I spend a good part of my fandom playing in and running tournaments for Decipher's Star Wars card game; I am a part of an incredible group of Fanboys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But most of all, Mr. Lucas helped me realize that telling stories was really what I needed to do. His work stands as a beacon of integrity, and that all anyone needs to be successful is faith and passion. I hope one day I get the oppurtunity to contribute to Star Wars through my writing.&lt;br /&gt;
