First we need a poll for the era. Then actual writing can begin.

oooh! waterfalls! Nice!

Nice Uglies! Why do Kyle and Mara appear to be squatting, though?

Perhaps we should carry this debate on in the cantina? before it takes attention away from the topic of the thread.

wonder what would happen if all the beams were smashed? could you collapse the ceiling? so far, the main source to go by would be the action figures. which tell a lot. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Force_Unleashed_%28toy_line%29 Juno Eclipse is Vader's apprentice's girlfriend, and a tie pilot. a plot character: most likely just appears in cut scenes. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/5/53/Junoeclipse.jpg There's also a "battle damaged" Darth Vader figure: he must take a beating for some reason. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/thumb/6/61/IMG_5231.jpg/365px-IMG_5231.jpg

I have a baad feeling that the Legacy of the Force series is being taken the wrong way. Or at least not how George Lucas sees it. You also forget; GL made the empire. he ought to know if they're evil or not. As for Force Unleashed, I am curious about how they'll be incorporating the alliance. And if they'll incorporate Lumiya. Since she fills this "vader's apprentice" role perfectly. Except the TIE Fighter series. and BF. and this game. Keep in mind that its hard to make a game where your character is a weakling (playable characters always have an advantage over NPCs).

wouldn't it be ironic if jar-jar ends up dying in a big way, such that it has a huge influence on things? Or if he never dies, trapped on Iego for eternity, annoying the hell out of everyone else stuck there?

Interesting Idea... I always felt that, in star wars, the Roman Empire was like the Republic, and the dark, chaotic age was the Empire's reign. Perhaps we should run some polls to help decide? Once we decide on an era, we can focus our energies better.

I was just reading Betrayal when a particular joking statement caught my attention: "So Ben's smart mouth and unhelpful manners have to come from you. I'm going to have to figure out some sort of appropriate revenge, someday." He said this to mara jade. This must be the author's equivalent of obi-wan's line in AotC: "Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?" obi to anakin

I like the addition of the visual descriptions. one thing I use when writing sw fanfics a lot is using emotions and metaphors to describe a ship, place, character, etc. The biggest key is to immerse yourself fully in the imaginary environment. Try to develop a virtual tour of the setting mentally. What this does is create a false, yet effective substitute for actually experiencing something. People like John Steinbeck wrote about what they've personally experienced. This fills that purpose. Also, whether or not you're writing, imagine each of the characters in your fanfic interacting with each other. once you have a specific archetype established, you'll find the dialogue remarkably lifelike. Another key with dialogue is consistency. As long as the character's "voice" is consistent, he/she could high-strung, enraged, quiet, emotionless, etc., and sound perfectly legitimate. A bit of background information early in the story (which chapter depends on each chapter's length) can also intrigue readers. All in all, balance is crucial. Hope you find this advice helpful. I'll be looking forward to the next chapter.

Why not an earlier era? perhaps 4000 BBY-ish? (Mando wars, JCW, K3 plot, etc.) Or something that takes place within a century before episode I? (Something involving a dispute, for example Or perhaps a clone wars campaign in a fan made system? (e.g. The battle of Arborfrost) I've got several ideas, (one I hope to finish writing eventually and submit to GL-or however that works-in the hopes of becoming EU) they just need development. BTW, just finished outbound flight. I guess his clone wasn't far off the mark (psychologically) as the thrawn trilogy suggested. I also just started reading Betrayal.

perhaps Ben will survive, be presumed dead, and go into hiding p.s. EU writers; PLEASE don't make him go into hiding on tatooine. :

Jaden: "Execute order 67"

lol There were those two episodes that were cut due to gun violence (something to do with porygon and a bazooka).

When? Vanilla? or modded?

Did I mention this would be for a fan film and not a mod? (if it makes a difference)

ah, poetry. I remember when we had to make a "poetry journal" that contained about 10-11 original poems. 90% of mine were limericks. lol EX: The Notorious Jabba the Hutt: The notorious Jabba the Hutt Sat on his e-normous butt Did no excercise (Spare for rolling his eyes) And his palace-only fit for a Hutt! Frobba (the frog): There once was a frog named Frobba Who looked like the Hutt called Jabba He ate critters that croak And other small blokes Who dare enter the Lair of Frobba. School: Going to school Is pretty cool. But, your homework? Off you blew it! And ‘cause you didn’t do it In front of you, it seems to pool.

? Any particular reason why its rated TV-14 now? because tv programs usually get that rating due to one of or any combination of the following: -Strong profanity -Racial slurs and or stereotypes -Sexual content or references -Strongly crude humor -Intense Violence (least likely) Is it changing because the content is changing? or are they just reevaluating the content?

I don't mean ripped from the movie. I mean close immitations. Or things like the fanfilm kit at starwars.com

forgive me if i'm out of the loop, but is Darth Krayt dead yet? If not, Jacen might kill him. Perhaps a new hero or two will be introduced. to fill the absence of the others. Luke might try to bring Jacen back from the Dark side. Or, better yet, What if Luke loses it and seeks to avenge Mara? Then Leia tries to find Jacen and redeem him like Luke did Vader before Luke finds him. Could be very interesting. We'll have to wait and see, though.

That would be useful for my mod as well...

Looks good to me. Just make it less shiny. The shinyness makes it look more like the Sith Trooper armor in KotOR

Does anyone know where I can download SW sound effects (such as shuttle flight sounds, shuttle landing sounds, X-Wing flyby sounds, y-wing flyby sounds, exiting hyperspace sounds, jumping to hyperspace sounds, etc.) alternatively, does anyone know of a free program that can open SF2 files and convert their contents into WAV files?

The "jump to hyperspace" sequence seen at the end of the exclusive preview at SW.com looked like the inside of the Ebon Hawk for some reason... Personally, I just had a couple qualms with the preview: -bad voice casting for anakin. (even the cartoon version matched hayden better. this guy sounds too much like Luke in ESB). -Obi's beard looks...odd. -Dooku's face looks like an easter island head. The ship graphics, however, look great. same with clones and droids.

Those weren't flack guns. And I believe that the shields had already been overloaded on the venator. Actually, they can go through ray shields. The exhaust port on the first death star was ray shielded (watch the Yavin briefing by Dodonna). Logically, they might not get through particle shields. but its debatable. At any rate, Proton torps should be able to pass through shields in the mod, I think.
