nova_wolf Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Just thinking, now that we are with out a Star Wars movie for a while, and with specualtion high, fan Fic is going to be booming. I was just wondering what you reckon of the whole thing. I like it, but I know people who say it cheapens the whole thing. Whats your fav piece - any you can really recomend. Was also looking to get some new sources of good movies, written, flash etc... Have been through theForce and jitterbug. Last few I watched were Art of the Saber II (Cannot recommend that ENOUGH!) and The Invisable Enemy (Predator but with gay Scout troopers and an Ewok as the hunter.... didn't like that.)

Jedi_Monk Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I've been writing Star Wars fan fiction since 1996, and I've written over 40 pieces including six chapter stories. I see Fan Fiction as on the level of the EU (with maybe a very few exceptions), because Lucas doesn't acknowledge either in the movies, which is the only canon in Star Wars. Most of the things that Lucas included from the EU he did so just because he thought they sounded cool (such examples being the double-bladed lightsaber and Aayla Sacura)... and if he saw something in one of my stories that he thought sounded cool (or something in any other fan fictionists' story), I don't think he'd hesitate to use that, either. The only major difference between the two is that Lucas gets paid for every EU book sold, and in that more power to them--they fund the movies.

nova_wolf Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Nah - I consider EU as canon. Afterall what is the point of the Beardy one allowing them all to be official and vetting them all if he is then gonna turn round and screw it over. Thats an insult to the writers abilties and efort and an insult to us as fans. Fan Fic though, yes - can't be canon. But still important - even the games must have started as Fan Fic once. And it is great for seeing how people view the continum and how different parts of unexplained events occur. I have done a piece about the B-Wing and the events behind it's development. 50K words, not finished, and some glaring location based continuity errors, but what is there is a great idea for what could have happened. Even the legendary 'Troops' movie - it comically explains why the Jawa's and Luke's guardian's are killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
