ALEJJ ANDRUS - Hailing from Louisiana, I was introduced to Star Wars with a Boba Fett action figure in December of 1997. Though I had missed the hullabaloo concerning the special edition versions of the original three movies, I came to love them immensely as I watched them for the first time over the course of 1998. And being the easily amazed ten-year old I was, I rabidly anticipated the release of The Phantom Menace. Since then, I have grown up on the prequels and all assorted EU spin-offs, and thus they hold a special place in my heart as a major part of my childhood and early adolescence. Of course, my appreciation for things Star Wars extends to previously-published stories and comics as well, so in short, I have become just a big a Star Wars fan as the guy or girl who first saw the original film over thirty years ago.
