Personality Survey: LUKE SKYWALKER
Shortly after the events of A New Hope...


NAME: Luke Skywalker, Hero of the Rebellion, Jedi Knight in training.

NICKNAMES: Wormie, Farmboy, "Kid".

SEX: Male

LIVING ARRANGEMENT: Well, my last home just got torched by a bunch of Stormtroopers. But I just torched the Death Star, so I guess it all evens out. Right now I'm living in some sweet digs at the Rebel base on Yavin.

HEIGHT: 1.7 meters

EYES: Blue

HAIR: Dark blonde

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOLONET SHOW? Desperate Ugnaughts, BithBusters, CSI Nar Shadda, and especialy Corellian Chopper. I developed a knack for fixing up junky transports on Tatooine. Uncle Owen said I was just like my dad, but he refused to elaborate. What's up with that?

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Huh? The Rebellion doesn't use mouse droids.

FAVORITE MAGAZINE: The Rebellion Monthly Reader. It's an underground, outlawed magazine, but they have the best comic strips!

FAVORITE SMELL: I kinda like the way the princess smells in the morning... *giggle*

FAVORITE COLOR: I'm from a desert planet, so I'm used to wearing whites to keep the sun off.

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Watching old Ben get cut down by Vader, and not being able to do a thing about it.

BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: "Great shot, kid. That was one in a million!"

THINGS TO DO ON THE WEEKENDS: Lightsaber practice against remotes, polish my X-Wing piloting skills, run interference between the princess and Han, shooting marbles.

FAVORITE MUSIC: For some reason, I've always taken a liking to Naboo music.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING? Wow, it's only 0800 and I'm not sweating yet, I can drink all the water I want, and no sand getting into you-know-where! I'm lovin' this not-living-on-a-desert-world-anymore gig!

DO YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS? Heck no.

ROLLER COASTERS DEADLY OR EXCITING? Boring, once you've run the gun battery gauntlet on the Death Star!

PEN OR PENCIL? Commlink.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? Two.

FAVORITE FOODS: Chicken-fried womp rat. Sounds gross, but tastes awesome, especially when you get it from the greasy-spoon diners in Anchorhead.

DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS? Man, I didn't even know them. I tried to look up the name Skywalker in the Alliance database & Imperial database, but they don't say much. Just says my dad was a Jedi, but that's all. Nothing about mom. Doesn't even say that Vader jerk killed my dad. If I ever meet that guy in person...

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME? No, but I suppose blowing up Death Stars would qualify.

CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Vanilla.

DO YOU LIKE TO DRIVE? Yes!

DO YOU SLEEP WITH STUFFED ANIMALS? I used to sleep with a stuffed krayt dragon when I was a kid.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY KIND OF PET, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Not interested.

IF YOU COULD BE ANY TYPE OF ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE? Not sure.

THUNDERSTORMS, COOL OR SCARY? Never even seen one until I left Tatooine! It was like I was hypnotized! Han couldn't stop laughing. Wiseguy...

IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE? My mom or my dad. I can't decide which.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Han's smuggler homebrew.

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN? Um, What?

EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Nope.

GUYS--WOULD YOU GIVE UP YOUR SHIRT FOR A GIRL? Yes, especially if her name's
P------- L---.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Jedi Knight, but I'm not sure how I'll make it to full Jedi now that Ben's gone.

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Maybe just a little darker.

IF YOU COULD HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT AND WHERE WOULD IT BE? I've been thinking of having the Rebellion symbol tattooed on my shoulder, but I couldn't let it be seen by anybody not in the Alliance, so I guess I have to pass.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? Uh, next question... *blushes*

DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING: I'd like a traditional Jedi Knight wedding, but I can't find any information on how they did their nuptials.

WHAT IS ON YOUR WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Podracing tournament brackets, Twi'Lek of the Month calendar.

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL? Half full.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE? Blue milk.

ARE YOU A RIGHTY, LEFTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS? Righty.

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS? Yes.

WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED? My medal.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER: Red 5.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? A beat-up "pre-owned" landspeeder.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR? Those A-Wings we just had delivered are really speedy, but they don't have the armament that the X-Wing does. My dream ship would be to combine the speed of the one and the weapons of the other.

FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH: Podracing, Chewie versus Artoo on holochess.

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU: This was fun. The Princess always knows how to make me smile.

OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU SEND THIS TO, WHO IS LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO IT: My buddy Tank. I wonder what happened to him? We lost touch after he was accepted to the Academy. But now I'm this big hero, and almost a Jedi! Wish he could see me now!




You've been a great audience. Drive home safe, and don't forget to tip your waitress.

Nice little comics-inspired EU humor there at the end!

But I'm totally bummed to hear that this is your last blog here. I always looked forward to your stuff! Don't be a stranger. (Well, stranger than any of us already are, anyway.)

Damn, rh. I have a whole bunch of your surveys saved here to read when have time. I almost always read them but rarely get to comment until it would be so way after the fact anyway. I even filled one out for myself once thinking I might post it (but decided against it). Fun stuff.

Sigh...

Perhaps you'll come up with another unique genre to educate and entertain us with!

Love your blog.

Thanks for the warm wishes, folks. The fact is that the well was starting to run dry. I didn't want to renew for a whole year, then post only 5 or 10 more blogs for that year. I didn't want to be one of those once-a-month folks.

But never say never. I'm going "inactive" for now, but you who knows? If I find some burst of inspiration, I might relaunch. One of the first blog ideas I had bordered on humorous fan fic, which violates the rules. If I can ever figure out a practical solution, then there's a chance I'll re-subscribe.

But this was fun. Especially the surveys. They usually seemed to bring out the best replies. :D

Loved this rh! And the fact it was about my favorite farmboy (who just happens to be my favorite character in the entire saga! :D) doesn't hurt either! :D

I never knew Luke and I had so much in common. ;)
