My love of the setting had been maintained over the years by reading some of the novels on and off and when I moved to college, I devoured as many of the novels as I could, and a few comics too for that matter. My first Star Wars movie (in cinemas) was Ep III: Revenge of the Sith and I was totally blown away. Total childish geekiness ensued in those days. At one point I also owned this amazing fold-out artwork poster on which you could place some stickers you could get from bags of Lays chips. I never got to see the movies then or even the first two prequel movies when they came out but I’ve always been in love with Star Wars from the day I got a nice little booklet in 1997 that talked about all the characters and introduced the movies’ plot and what not.

I am a total Star Wars geek from the early years since the original trilogy was re-released in the 90s. “An incredibly gripping novel, Rogue Squadron is pure, hard science-fiction that is as much about the characters as zipping around doing figure-eights around TIEs.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields Shadowhawk reviews the first Star Wars X-wing novel featuring the infamous Rogue Squadron by the talented Michael Stackpole. This is the first novel in the X-wing series, originally published by Bantam Books.
