With the opening of my new site, Star Wars Epics, I have been getting a few nice comments about it, so I am happy that people are actually showing up to take a look. Thanks to everyone who did visit and I hope I at least piqued a bit of your interest.

Now for a shameless plug. The website is here:

Anyway, a little bit about me. I have always been interested in the SW universe and fan fiction and have collected the books, comics, and other tidbits associated with it. My favorite series out of the EU is probably the Thrawn trilogy, and unlike some who did enjoy it, I didn't care too much for the New Jedi Order series. That being the case, I wonder if the Dark Nest series would be any good. It won't stop me from buying the series, though.

I think the worst books from the EU are "Tatooine Ghost" and "Rogue Planet." Those were boring, long, and left me annoyed at the end for wasting my time reading them. As far as the Prequel books, "Darth Maul: Shadowhunter" and the "Medstar" duology were good and were fast reads. Michael Reeves is a very good author.

As far as artwork, I have picked up "The Art of Episode III" and it is an awesome book. The artwork in there is amazing and I love the matte painting covered throughout its pages. The "Making of" book is also another good book to pick up as far as artwork. Unfortunate that I never got around to picking up the last two "Art of" books when they came out. I don't think they are sold anymore, although I hear there is a book set out there that contains all three books in a sleeve.

Anyway, with my love for anything SW, I couldn't help but to one day finally create my own site and dedicate discussions, fan fiction, and roleplay entirely in that universe. Hence, Star Wars Epics was spawned after a 3 year stint over at a community named EZboard and then we jumped ship to have a place of our own in cyberspace.

Aside from roleplay, I opened it up to discussions and fan-fiction, but I myself am a fan of storyboard roleplay as you can hone your writing skills and get to interact with other writers. It really becomes a nice community when everyone knows each other and their characters interact.

If anyone does join, you can refer me. I play a Rogue Squadron pilot named Han Antilles, and he is quite the character. At the moment, he is quite in a pickle as he is locked up inside a cell inside Black Sun headquarters. I look forward on how he is going to pan out of this situation. Heh!

Well, that's enough writing for today.

Oh yeah, I have a slogan contest going on over there to find the best to fit Star Wars Epics. Maybe you can give me a hand?
