Born the orphan son of a once great warrior named Anakin Ferrisimo, Ferris was raised on a farm by his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru in a small desert town called Tatooine. Ferris had a fairly uneventful childhood growing up there, bored by the harsh and sometimes unforgiving lifestyle of a moisture farmer.
One day he purchased two droids to help around the farm. The consequences of this innocent transaction would have dire effects. Turns out that the droids, belonging to a detained Princess, had escaped capture from the evil ruling Empire and they wanted them back. Ferris returned home later that day to find the skeletal remains of the only people in the world he loved. It was then that Ferris decided to join an ever growing military movement known as the rebellion to fight against the wicked and dictatorial regime.
He was taken in by a local vagabond named Ben who claimed he once knew and fought alongside his father. It was then Ferris learned that his father had not died on a spice trading ship like he had been told, but he had in fact been betrayed and murdered by a fellow young warrior named Vader. Ferris agreed to accompany Ben on a trip where he would learn the ways of the warrior like his father before him.
Long story short, coupla months later Ferris meets up with Vader, now 2nd in command in the Empire, when he shows up to save his kidnapped friends from Billy Dee Williams. Ferris confronts his foe telling him he knows that Vader killed his father. The next words spoken would change him forever. Vader calmly replied, “No Ferris, I AM your father!�
The weight of the avalanche of events that befell upon Ferris proved too much for him to shoulder. It was at this point that he decided not to try and overthrow intergalactic governments to avenge his family name but instead follow his other passion in life, the radio.
Is that Eddie Vedder?
No, that's just Ferris, your Guitar Hero.
