SW sequel rewrite (lemmygrad.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by cosmonautjem@lemmygrad.ml to c/creativewriting@lemmygrad.ml

I am working on a rewrite of the Star Wars sequels to address many shortcomings, missteps, and missed opportunities that I saw in those films. My critiques are not those of a certain subset of SW fans who believe the films were too "woke". In fact, the things I have planned for my rewrite would probably give those guys a heart attack.

I understand that I will never be able to monetize this, otherwise the big Mouse will drop a Death Star on my head.

My intent is to start with completing a written treatment of my vision of Episode 7 and then produce that in video format using my own art assets and non-copyright music that sounds John Williams-esque. Once I get some response to that, I think then I would like to flesh out the ideas I have for Episodes 8 and 9.

I'm happy to share concepts and bounce ideas if interested! One of the main througlines of this trilogy is an armed Droid Revolution.

Meanwhile, the New Republic has constructed the WORLD ENGINE, a massive space station with the power to move planets. They seek to bring life to dead worlds.

The new forces of evil, craving vengeance, are launching an audacious strike against the World Engine. The galaxy once again stands on the brink of war….
