The Empire Strikes Back.

Have a damn good look around Lucasfilm.
When was the last time you cried?

| Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon |
I love watching classic 1930s serials, anything with Buster Crabbe. And I'm a fan of Disney's 'The Black Hole'.
What are you looking forward to the most in the next six months?
A great glut of sci-fi movies, completing my new writing project, appearing on The Bearded Trio website's 15 questions segment (bazinga!)
(Aw shucks - Rob)
What is your most treasured possession?
My books.
What is your biggest regret?
When I was in my early twenties, I tried to leave my nerd self behind and grow up as a real man, and so I sold a lot of my collection. It only lasted a few months but by then it was too late.
What are you most proud of?
My work on the Star Wars 'Setnin Sector' setting I did with Mark Newbold. It's all fan work, nothing official, but it's been the better part of thirty years in the making and it's a great place to play around in.
What is your favourite Spielberg movie?
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
