Somewhere along the line I became a teenager. (I know, I know, but I grew out of it so do not despair.) During this transition my tastes and interests began to change. So at the christmas of 1995 my Mom told my grandma that I liked books and Star Wars. So they decided to get me Star Wars presents. My grandma got me the Jedi Academy Trilogy boxed set by Kevin J. Anderson. My mom got me the Hoth Microverse playset.
At the same time I had really gotten into the CCG's Magic and Spellfire and was beggining to get into The Original Decipher version of Star Wars. These things converged to make me a sure fire Star Wars fanatic.
