Galactic Voyage Featured Fanatic!

Name: Ryan Vishey

Are you a regular at Galactic Voyage and if not, how did you hear about the Galactic Fanatic?

I heard about Galactic Voyage from my forum's admin and past fanatic of the month, Emma Watts.

How did you get involved with Star Wars?

I was at a very young age, maybe 3-4 years old, when I first saw Empire Strikes Back. I remember specifically the giant slug and the Vader/Luke fighting scene.  My dad is the main reason for me liking Star Wars. He bought/taped the other 2 movies and I fell in love with them immediately. Around the age of 12 (6th grade), I began reading the books.

Which Star Wars movie is your favorite and why?

My favorite all-time is Return of the Jedi. I happen to like space battles, and the space Battle of Endor continues to fill me with suspense and tons of ship-to-ship action. It's also my favorite because of the redemption of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, which happens to be the major theme of Star Wars.

Which group are you the biggest fan of (Sith, Jedi, Bounty Hunters, etc.) and why?

The military, mainly the fighter pilots. Again, I love the idea of flying and fighting at the same time, and I love all the different styles and types of starfighters.  That's why I liked the X-Wing books the most.

What are your most treasured Star Wars items?

The only Star Wars items I collect are the books. I have over 50 books, ranging the best-selling New Jedi Order and X-Wing books to the not-so-favorite Jedi Academy trilogy and Crystal Star. I've read most of them 2-3 times already.

What is your greatest Star Wars moment? (Ex. First in line to see Star Wars, Had lunch with Carrie Fisher, etc.)

Well I've seen the special editions and TPM all on opening day...I rush to the bookstore every time a new NJO book comes out.

What other hobbies or Star Wars facts would you like to tell us about?

I am a proud member/co-admin of the New Jedi Order Fan Page:

I have written fanfics in the past, and I'm currently working on a much bigger fic project about a particular bounty hunter I've made up. It should be worth the time and effort when finished.
