In their own words
Let me start by saying "I am a Star Wars JUNKIE!!!". I live, eat, drink and sleep Star Wars. When I first heard that a Star Wars card game was coming out, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait. It was another way for me to relive the movies. To become my favorite characters. To battle the Empire, or crush the Rebellion!
I, like most others players I've talked to, started out with Decipher's Star Trek CCG. I have to admit when Star Wars hit, Star Trek fell to the wayside. I like Star Trek, but Star Wars rocks (both the movies and the game)! Oh what a wonderful day it was when I was selected to be part of this super group, and indirectly part of Decipher.
Even before I became part of Red Squadron I was helping out the younger kids in the area and also working with others trying to figure out exactly how to play this game correctly. Now, every Friday at my local Card and Comic shop, I make myself available for demos, critiquing players decks (the younger players ask all the time) and playing. I really enjoy hosting tournaments, because I get more enjoyment out of watching other players playing than I do playing myself. I went with a couple of friends to the '97 Star Wars CCG World Championships, as spectators. We had such a good time, we plan on doing it again this year.
And just to tell you how nuts I am about these movies. My first date with my wife was "The Empire Strikes Back". My office at work is filled with action figures, posters and playsets. My nameplate outside my office is "Jedi Knight". My home is filled with boxes (approx. 25 17" monitor boxes) of Star Wars memorabilia. My wife put her foot down, the boxes go to a mini storage unit or they get thrown out! Yikes. And last but not least, the three joys of my life. My sons Luke (11), Ben (8) and Anakin (4). Yes, those are their real names! Randy Eddy Red 39[2]
