I actually caught a typo, I meant to say I was born in 1993 whereas the book was released in 1997, so I was a bit young at the time, so you're 9 years my junior in fact.

Rogue Squadron on the N64 was one of my favourite games of my childhood though, so when I was perusing a used bookstore 4 years ago and saw "Star Wars: X-Wing #1: Rogue Squadron" on the shelf I had to get it. I had actually kinda had a falling out with Star Wars, having been exposed to too much of the poor content. That book showed me how beautiful Star Wars still was, back into full swing as a Star Wars fan now.

Note that proxying fighters tends to be a more difficult process whereas proxying pilots for fighters you already have is easier. That said (and maybe it's my local game group who's particularly nice), my gaming group tends to prefer not to proxy fighters, so they'll actually lend out fighters to those who may not have them. If you can get involved with some local group, it's well worth the effort, even if you have to get things started like I did.
