Welcome,
Rebelscum readers! We’re excited to bring the relaunched site to keep you up to date on all the greatest collecting news from the galaxy far, far away. As the head writer on the site, I’ll be providing comprehensive facts and insights on all corners of
Star Wars stories, both canon and Legends.
I’m a lifelong
Star Wars fanatic (I actually got my first name after my parents first heard that Liam Neeson was cast in
The Phantom Menace). I grew up watching the core saga on repeat, and as a massive LEGO fan, I was an avid collector from a pretty young age.
The Clone Wars began airing just as I was growing up, and keeping up with all of Dave Filoni’s ongoing storylines became a weekly obsession for me.
As my fandom grew, my dive into the Expanded Universe (now Legends) grew more developed. I’m a big time reader, and I kid you not when I say I’ve read literally hundreds of
Star Wars books and novels. Whether it's
Darth Bane, Legacy of the Force, or classics like
Heir to the Empire and
Shadows of the Empire, if it's a
Star Wars book there’s a good chance I’ve read it. I’m excited to share my love of the larger
Star Wars Legends canon with you all.
My love of
Star Wars developed into a love for movies in general, and in the past eight years I’ve written thousands of published movie news, reviews, and articles. You can look for some of my work on
Collider,
Dallas Observer,
Central Track,
Dallas Morning News,
About.com,
Schmoes Know, and
Taste of Cinema.
