I love writing in third person, as it gives you a wider opportunity in adding scenes and etc that does not include the main character.

Honestly, first person turns me off a bit, as usually there would be less description and more action, and the word(maybe letter?) "I" can get very, very repetitive and degrading to read. =/

First person does have its advantages though, as it allows you to build up your character's personality far better than third person. Though, as for the other characters, it'll be harder to do that, as their personality must circulate only through the perspective of your main character.

Too bad we don't live to experinece death
  








Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
