Star Wars Timeline

It was not like I had not read other novels based on the Star Wars universe, but until a couple of months earlier, I never really owned a Star Wars novel.

Then, I happened to buy the novel 'The Final Prophecy' by Greg Keyes on a clearance sale. I read it with the same vehemence I had read other literature on Star Wars. After I had finished it, I happened to run my eyes over the Star Wars timeline. (Something like
this.)

I was hooked. An
obsession got into me, and I decided that I would make it a point to collect as much of those material as I could, before I took my last breath. I bought another paper back, 'Cloak of Deception' by James Luceno at the cover price (225 Indian rupees). And then I hit a jackpot. I came across another clearance sale, where I layed my hands on seven hardbound and a small paperback based on the movie(second episode). I shelled out a totall of 1100 rupees. That is quite a part of my present earnings.

I was all happy, seeing I would be soon fulfulling my wish, and then the vastness of the universe hit me, when I encountered this site:
Ultimate Timeline. I was dumb founded by the immenseness of the whole timeline.

But, as I said earlier, I was obsessed. So, I trudge on, in my efforts at collecting as much as possible, of this Star Wars universe.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

And so it begins. I must tell you one thing, that it is quite an achivement that I have even started this blog. From what I know about myself, I rarely even start, what I contemplate on.

Star Wars universe always captured my mind and I was always awed by the possibilities it threw at me. It made me a devouted fan. I would be spilling a lot of verbiage based on Star Wars here.
