1. Would you rather be a Jedi or Sith? Jedi, for the greater good!

2. What's your favourite world in SW?Probably Naboo, for it's beauty and elegance.

3. Type of lightsaber, lightsaber color, and lightsaber form?My favorite kind of hilt would be the sort of ''utility'' appearance, seen in usage from such heroes as Kyle Katarn. My favorite color would be blue, and my form Shi-Cho, the basic.

4. Favorite Star Wars vehicle?Probably Poe Dameron's T-70 X-wing.

5. Favorite Star Wars species? Rodian, great as hunters and operate best in the hot sun.

6. If you were a Jedi, which Master would you want?Probably Qui-Gon Jinn. He'd teach me the practical purpose whilst allowing me freedom in my choices.

7. If you were a Sith, which Master would you want? More than likely, Darth Jerec. He taught his students great skills but actually only a select set of skills for each of them to operate better as a team and to act better as branches of a tree. Brilliant way to teach skill for a team.

8. If you were a Sith, what would your "Darth" name be? Warden Frog

9. What is your favourite Star Wars film? I am not saying this out of spite, but honesty. The Force Awakens introduced me to a new kind of Star wars that I could grow up with and be surprised by. I never got to see '' Star wars '' in the theaters for the first time. Add that to one of my favorite directors of all time, J.J Abrams, and it gave me one of the best experiences I've ever had.

10. What is your least favourite Star Wars film?Probably Attack of the Clones. Not a unique answer, but I actually found the political discussions in TPM fairly good. If I were to approach the star wars films as a fan, not a critic, I actually would enjoy TPM to a degree. However, in Attack of the Clones, I felt the decisions the characters made in it were horribly rushed and unrealistic. I also find the duel between Count Dooku, Obi-wan and Anakin, to be the worst fight in all of the star wars movies.

11. Favourite Jedi?Obi-wan Kenobi. If there's a definition of a '' Jedi '' Obi-wan has it in the bag. He dispenses with impractical emotions at the wrong times and in place is a peaceful, wise, extremely skilled Jedi Master.

12. Favourite Sith?Darth Vader. Aside from the great storytelling behind him, his presence demands so much. His great might with the Force and his lightsaber is a combination of precision and strength, and it's great to watch the fights unfold with him.

13. What Star Wars film has your favourite soundtrack?As of now, Director Orson Krennic's theme from Rogue One has been stuck in my head for the past month. It's so fresh to me that I actually like it more than Darth Vader's, probably because I've heard it so much.

15. In your opinion, what are the best things about the SW Expanded Universe?Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron is what I liked the best. Great characters, great storytelling and great action overall. It didn't try to steal moments from the films, but rather, made it's own.

16. In your opinion, what are the worst things about the SW Expanded Universe? Definitely the New Jedi Order. I dislike almost every decision the writers made, from the good guys, the bad guys, the action, the storytelling, oh my goodness, the storytelling. I haven't exaggerated any of my posts, and I won't here. It is truly something I dislike.

17. What does Star Wars mean to you?It's a inspirational character piece for me. I can see characters go through things and come out on top. The more relateable they're crafted, the more I get pulled in. The visual and sound effects also grip me. They're phenominal in almost every film they're in. Additionally, the music has seen some of, in my opinion, the world's best talent; John Williams and Michael Gachinno just pull me in so much that in some cases I truly believe the music can carry scenes that may not hold up.

Thanks for the post Zal :)

15. In your opinion, what are the best things about the SW Expanded Universe?
That they expanded the universe. I mean, I really like the movies and I think the movies are the best part about the Star Wars universe. But the books and other stuff really let a bunch of authors expand the stories of characters we had seen (even if only briefly) in the movies and created a lot of characters that we had never met before that went on to be very interesting and compelling. This article is a pretty good read about how Admiral Thrawn was basically responsible for proving that books could hold the same power as the movies and encouraged authors to write a lot more of them: https://theringer.com/grand-admiral-thr ... bbe6e6e3a0
In my opinion, Lucas doesn't get enough credit for how open he was in allowing others to be a part of his creative vision.

16. In your opinion, what are the worst things about the SW Expanded Universe?
That it's retconned now. Disney took decades of good, interesting work and made it meaningless for no reason.

17. What does Star Wars mean to you?
I mean what does any fictional universe mean? It's mostly escapism I guess, I like watching the movies and reading the books and thinking about how cool it would be if I were a jedi and all that. It's just that this fictional universe happens to be particularly compelling to me.

1. Would you rather be a Jedi or Sith?
I am a sith, I am way too selfish.

2. What's your favourite world in SW?
Coruscant, it can be a place for elegant individuals and also a place where scum can do what they want. It has a noir feel I love.

3. Type of lightsaber, lightsaber color, and lightsaber form?
A regular plain hilt, color red and Djem So as my lightsaber form.

4. Favorite Star Wars vehicle?
The Slave 1, very unique looking.

5. Favorite Star Wars species?
The Hutts, disgusting and corrupt. I love it.

6. If you were a Jedi, which Master would you want?
Qui Gon, because he can lead you into the right direction without being in your face with all of the Order nonsense. He is like the best father someone can have in a universe like SW, he just teach you how to be true to yourself and above all, true compassion for others and personally, I would of loved to have a Qui Gon in my life.

7. If you were a Sith, which Master would you want?
Dooku, while he can be a jerk who would spam lightning againts you if you are not able to levitate heavy stuff or duel correctly, I would like to get that kind of discipline he has. Hard work.

8. If you were a Sith, what would your "Darth" name be?
Something cheesy as a kid I wanted, Darth Aghony or Darth Satanus.

9. What is your favourite Star Wars film?
Revenge of the Sith, I love everything about it. I mostly watch the spanish version tho, it fixes the delivery of the lines, make them stronger and as an example: The whole Vader NOOOO thing, in spanish is actually emotional, its a NOOO full of regret, the entire character of Anakin is amazing in spanish.

10. What is your least favourite Star Wars film?
The Force Awakens, I hate almost everything about it. I like Finn tho.

11. Favourite Jedi?
Anakin, I may reveal too much of myself but I can relate with the guy, he has so much love for those who give him a chance while also being very petty in hard times, he is afraid of change, he holds grudges like crazy and despite all the compassion he has for others he can also be the most terrible person, and all because he just wants to feel loved, he wants to feel free, he is his own worst enemy.

12. Favourite Sith?
Darth Sidious.

13. What Star Wars film has your favourite soundtrack?
Revenge of the Sith. But the final celebration theme from ROTJ is maybe my favorite track of all.

15. In your opinion, what are the best things about the SW Expanded Universe?
I loved how much of a badass Boba Fett became in the EU, the whole Quinlan Vos saga, Rogue Planet book, all the Qui Gon backstory, Kyle Katarn, Jacen and Jaina Solo as characters, SW Legacy and the Old Republic era.

16. In your opinion, what are the worst things about the SW Expanded Universe?
That Legacy ended soo soon.

17. What does Star Wars mean to you?
Hard to say, it just means so much. The whole father and son drama has always stayed with me, motivated me into being a better person. So many characters I love, so many worlds I wish existed, it provided me with so much fun. I cant imagine a life without SW. I love both trilogies and Rogue One equally, hopefully when the new one is complete, I can at least tolerate TFA.

17. What does Star Wars mean to you?
Star Wars is what I grew up with I owned the first 3 movies on VCR and watched them vividly with my father, we even went out to see the phantom menace which was amazing for a 6 yr old or something I can't remember the year and i'm too lazy to look it up but for the longest time I can't remember myself not being apart of Star Wars in some way. Even now as i'm typing i'm in a wonderful clan linked to a Star Wars game that I still enjoy playing with you all. <3

1. Would you rather be a Jedi or Sith?

I would rather be a Jedi, as I find it's more within my nature to protect the weak, rather than exploit them. It is noteworthy to mention however that my absolute preference is to be neither.

2. What's your favourite world in SW?

Mannan, despite it being the home of much contention, it's principal resources are restorative, protective, as Kolto is it's prize mineral. Symbolically, that pleases me. In addition to that, it's a beautiful planet.

3. Type of lightsaber, lightsaber color, and lightsaber form?

A single saber, with a comfortable, straight, yet ergonomic hilt. The color would be a light shade of purple, and my style would be Niman, the style of Moderation. My overall emphasis in battle would not be my blade skills, but tactical awareness and general aptitude in combat.

4. Favorite Star Wars vehicle?

I have no favorite.

5. Favorite Star Wars species?

I have no favorite.

6. If you were a Jedi, which Master would you want?

Obi-Wan Kenobi. His patience, kindness, and exemplary devotion to the order makes him a true Jedi. If I were a Jedi, I would want to learn their ways from him.

7. If you were a Sith, which Master would you want?

Darth Tyranus, also known as Count Dooku. His incredible balance of saber and force-use talent is indispensable to a prospective Sith Lord. In addition to that, his apparent lack of devotion to a creed makes a good example for a Sith, who's only real creed is greed.

8. If you were a Sith, what would your "Darth" name be?

It would be no different from my Jedi name, Darth Uscari.

9. What is your favourite Star Wars film?

The Empire Strikes Back was everything the first film was, except better. What more is there to add?

10. What is your least favourite Star Wars film?

I would agree Attack of Clones is the worst, mainly because The Phantom Menace featured one of the best lightsaber duels of the franchise.

11. Favourite Jedi?

Qui-Gon Jinn, as he represents what I believe to be a true servant of the force. He doesn't see the Jedi Order as an infallible, unquestionable source of wisdom, but as an institution, with well-intentioned, but flawed leadership, like any organization. He is patient, courageous, vocal, and wise. One of my favorite characters in Star Wars aside from my favorite Jedi.

12. Favourite Sith?

Count Dooku, for similar reasons to Qui-Gon Jinn, interestingly enough. In addition to that, he is realistic, tactical, ambitious, and formidable. A strong Sith, but more importantly a strong character in general.

13. What Star Wars film has your favourite soundtrack?

I don't know, because I can't recall the soundtracks, nor organize them into which movies they belong to.

14. In your opinion, what are the best things about the SW Expanded Universe?

That I don't know much about it.

15. In your opinion, what are the worst things about the SW Expanded Universe?

That I don't know much about it.

16. What does Star Wars mean to you?

It means a part of my childhood, an inspiration to imagine beyond the bonds of space and time as we know it, and think of how life could be experienced. Maybe a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, all of this did happen, and maybe it isn't impossible for us to see it once more.
