&lt;br /&gt;
He previously wrote and co-wrote four winning entries for the "What's The Story?" feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An Eagle Scout and history student, he was a staff member of &lt;a href="http://theclonewarz.net" target="_blank"&gt;The Unofficial Clone Wars Site&lt;/a&gt; almost since its inception in 2003, and contributes to Wookieepedia and various discussion forums under this same alias. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He's not sure where he picked up the interest in sci-fi and fantasy, but credits Andy Mangels' original &lt;i&gt;Essential Guide to Characters&lt;/i&gt; with opening the door to the &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; universe beyond the films.&lt;br /&gt;

And in &lt;i&gt;Episode III&lt;/i&gt; he mentions it to Padmé.
