Cozmo is a creative designer and Star Wars fan based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He served in the US Army from 1995 to 2004 in various roles.

Cozmo was born in Minneapolis, and studied journalism, broadcasting, and graphic design before earning his Bachelor's degree in marketing. He first saw Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope at age 6, and that changed him forever. Now in his 30s, he is a married father of four, and is proud that he has gotten his children interested in Star Wars.

He is currently a creative designer, primarily doing web-based graphics and programming, but also writes at every opportunity. He's started a blog, based on the life of a character he created for use in Star Wars Galaxies, written from the perspective of the character. In the blog, entitled Life During Wartime, is written as if the Star Wars universe is real and the character is actually a resident of Tatooine. Entries sometimes touch on the mundane aspects of life there, as well as ties to the known Star Wars canon.

Cozmo is a Jedi Grand Master in Facebook's "Jedi vs. Sith" application, though he suspects that, if he really were a Jedi, he'd probably be a Grey Jedi along the lines of Qui-Gon Jinn and Jolee Bindo.

Pet PeevesEdit

Authors who don't know how to write Luke. Steve Perry did a really good job in "Shadows of the Empire," and appropriately placed Luke's personality between the recklessness of The Empire Strikes Back and the serious, somber nature that he had in Return of the Jedi. But a lot of other writers (and even the script writers for the video games) feel like now Luke has to sound like a wise old sage, so they give him this carefully metered-out dialogue that ends up sounding forced and corny. Sadly, not even the excellent Mike Stackpole, author is I, Jedi is immune to that, as Luke's dialogue gets herky-jerked back and forth between formal and colloquial.

Anakin's acting in The Phantom Menace. "Are you an angel?" Are you ****ing kidding me?

Anakin's acting in Attack of the Clones. Talk about herky-jerked back and forth. He's all over the emotional map. The most real and believable acting he does through the whole movie is when Obi-Wan asks him if his bad dreams are about Anakin's mother, and Anakin looks away for a split second and back at Obi-Wan, and then nods. This, however, I am beginning to realize that this is more due to George Lucas' directing and insistence on sticking to the script at hand, rather than a lack of skill on Hayden Christensen's part.

Darth Vader's realization, in Revenge of the Sith that Padmé is dead. "Noooooooooooooooo!" I half expected him to mimic Marlon Brando's classic, "Steeeeeeeellllllaaaaaaaaa!"
