Name: The Riddler Are you a regular at Galactic Voyage and if not, how did you hear about the Galactic Fanatic? Of course I am. Galactic Voyage is a proud Affiliate of Wattos Junkyard. How did you get involved with Star Wars? When I was 3-4 years old, my folks took me to see the opening day premiere of Star Wars. We saw it 3 times that day. I just loved it so much. Since that day so many hundreds of years ago, I have been hooked. Which Star Wars movie is your favorite and why? If I had to choose, I would say Episode VI - The Return of the Jedi for one simple reason. We get to see The Emperor in all his evil glory. I can remember being about 7-8 years old and again going opening night to se ROTJ. When Vader turns on Palpatine and throws him into the shaft, I can remember a roar of applause that I have never quite heard matched since. That and the music for Return of the Jedi is (I feel anyways) the best work of the Saga. Which group are you the biggest fan of (Sith, Jedi, Bounty Hunters, etc.) and why? I am a loyal fan to both the Sith and the glorious Empire. The feeling of power you can get when imagining yourself in the Super-Star Destroyer, EXECUTOR is something that can send shivers down your spine. What are your most treasured Star Wars items? I have an original Episode IV movie one sheet from 1977. I have autographs. What is your greatest Star Wars moment? (Ex. First in line to see Star Wars, Had lunch with Carrie Fisher, etc.) That's easy because there are
two. Back in 1999, I cued up for a week outside the movie theater to get my tickets
for Episode I - The Phantom Menace. I was featured on several news stations, radio
shows and got my picture in a few newspapers. I got my tickets and I can remember
the feeling I got after waiting 14 years for a new film, I saw that famous phrase, "A
LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY". I had a tear or two roll down my cheek
as the wait was finally over. What other hobbies or Star Wars facts would you like to tell us about? I run a very successful Star Wars Website, Wattos Junkyard (http://www.wattosjunkyard.com) and it has been going strong now for 5 years and is best remembered by some as one of the 5 greats from the beginning of the SW Internet Age.
