About Me
- Gary Stover
- I was born in 1978, just one year after the release of A NEW HOPE. I have grown up with the epic adventures of Star Wars in almost all it's forms. I've seen the movies and cartoons more times than I can count, I've read many, many novels that take place in just about any era, I've played the Star Wars RPG, I've collected the toys and collectibles and I have even tried my hand at constructing lightsaber hilts. Now I've moved on to bigger and better things. My goals now, since I'm a father of seven who all love the Star Wars universe almost as passionately as me, is to create a fanfilm with my kids and to build an Astromech Droid. I have a three year old who is head over heels in love with R2-D2 and this is my motivation for this project. You see...I will sacrifice everything for my kids. And at the end of the day, if they walk away smiling, it's all well worth it. Thanks to all adult Star Wars fans out there who have taken the time out of their busy lives to make a kid smile. And a very special THANKS to George Lucas...For giving us this wonderful universe to retreat into when we need to get away...
