Hear ye, hear ye! Welcome the “CotR” planning thread. This place is, in short, a little box to house our creative juices, and fuse them together in one massive ball of thought. Besides using AIM and MSN to communicate, this place serves as a halfway point, as we’re nearly all in different time zones of interference. I’ve comprised together a quick FAQ for those users who have dared to peak inside this manic centre of sanctuary. If unsure about anything, just speak up and I’m sure we can get the matter sorted out. happy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):


What is “Children of the Revolution”?

Why, a tale of mass portions, spanning two relative points in time, and detailing the battle for the Galaxy! The main timeframe is OT, and as per usual, it’s very AU. Nearly everything has been twisted around, certainly not to suit the maverick, George Lucas, but more for the enjoyment of those involved. We have all the normal characters – Luke, Leia, Han, Mara, Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the Emperor – with some OC action slotted in there. This little bundle is a present waiting to be unwrapped.

Who are the authors participating?

The list is as follows: Amidala_Skywalker, J_K_Dart, jade_angel, KnightWriter, obaona, Chaos Rose, Jedi_Stardust, and pending approval, Lady_Tahiri. Such is our group of talented writers.

What is the basis for “Children of the Revolution”?

I’ll just give you the little synopsis I’ve prepared here, which the authors were sent by PM.

In the far future, where peace and prosperity reign supreme, an anomaly emerges into real-space, taking the form of an ancient relic craft. Two scientists are enlisted with the task of explaining the appearance of such a vessel, and the only conclusion leads to a somewhat one hundred and fifty year old tale of hostilities and ancestry. Tracing back through the decades, and the ship’s origin, conflict floods the known Galaxy between two opposing forces – the Imperial Empire, lead by Emperor Palpatine, and the Alderaan Confederation, headed by Grand Duchess Leia Organa. With the help of a high-ranking Imperial officer, a handmaiden, and a farmboy, the war through time and space begins!

When shall we start posting?

When we’ve confirmed our roles in the planning, and created a good posting system, with the necessary guidelines. I’ve drawn up a 4-page plot summary that I will be posting once all the authors have reported in.

How long is this story going to be?

Impossible to tell. Let’s leave that to our imaginations.

What happens if I have a concern/suggestion?

Speak up, by all means. Free speech is given to all, and it’s not as though this is a dictatorship. Your suggestion will probably improve the plot, and send us flying towards success in leaps and bounds.

What if I have a problem with one of the authors?

I don’t think that will happen, we’re all peace-loving folk, but nevertheless, PM me with any worries you may have. In addition, if there’s a private matter you’d like to bring up, don’t hesitate to contact me in that situation also.

I haven’t been invited, but I’d love to participate and collaborate with everyone.

We must have caught your eye then! PM me, and I’ll see what I can do.

I’ve never been in an RR before – what do I do? Help!

During my first experiences at co-writing with large groups of people, I played ‘Follow The Leader’. Anyway, I don’t think I need to bring out the game board now. A Round Robin is a title given to a story which is written by numerous authors, who take turns at posting and having the ball bounced back and forth. We understand how you cannot post due to ‘Darth Real Life’ or an emergency in your family, but please notify us with the valid reason, so you don’t end up getting your inbox piled with worried messages.

How will the posting system function?

Well, like a ruffled piece of paper, we need to still sort that out. I was thinking along the lines of assigning a scene to each writer every Monday, and they will then be given a week to complete it. Since we have eight writers that therefore means a post everyday on the thread, which sings of happiness for readers and addicted OTers alike. If you have any ideas, writers, please come forward.

I have ‘Darth Writer’s Block’ bugging me, making me unable to post. What do I do?

Concentrate on other things, and clear your mind. We’ll organise for your turn to be skipped, or taken over by another willing writer.

I like to draw art in my spare time. May I draw some scenes from this story?

Sure! Yet again bring this up in the planning thread, and I’m positive we’d welcome it.

And finally, what is the most vital factor needed to write this?

That you enjoy it, and have fun! Writing is a hobby, not a professional exhibition. We’re all here to form new friendships, and have a good laugh in the process!

Hope that covers everything. If you’d like to add something to the FAQ, write out the question, provide an answer, and I’ll edit this post to include it.

Am love

*snatches the first reply*

*jumps up and down* The planning thread is posted! Let the insanity begin! grin *looks around* Eeeerrr ...

To be serious, Am, I'm glad you have such a thorough set of FAQs - it helped me a lot - and in particular, I think your a-post-a-day but a-week-to-write-a-post idea is positively ingenious, satisfactory to both the readers and the writers. All hail the almighty Am! *deafening applause*

LT: I thought so too. I know we all don’t have hours and hours to slave away at the computer when such a thing as ‘life’ calls *blushes at the applause*

Pete: We appreciate your support early on. Thank you bunches.

Stardust: I’m so tempted to hang posters on the walls.

Dart: You’re cheesy, little one – but highly amusing.

Josh and obaona: Hello, you two. Thanks. I thought we might need a basis of questions to work from.

Pallas: Sleep…sleep…sleep, errr..

Sorry for the delay. Life is so very sithly in the arts of making time tick down like nothing. Righteo, I’ve told you all about this rough plan I wrote out the other day, and I’ll let you know now, that it’s for us to expand on. Suggestions are more than welcome. I was discussing the first post with Dart yesterday, and an idea for a format was reached. Once we’ve all had time to read over the plan, I’ll introduce the said format.

I’m very excited as to what extra we cook up!


(These sentences are not of literature quality, but they get the point across)

Scientists find a ship from the past in an abandoned star-system, only to discover the ship has dead occupants, and unable to time travel, with that particular drive broken. The ship looks ancient.

After confirming their deaths, they see one of the women is wearing a pendant, with the shape of the Alderaan Confederation inscribed upon it. The shape fits neatly into a mould at the main computer desk, and activates power to the ship. They access the data banks.

Readers are drawn back into the distant past, where two forces are clashing – The Imperial Empire, and the Alderaan Confederation. IE leaders: Emperor Palpatine, Vader, and Han (who by aiding the IE holds great power on his homeworld). AC= Grand Duchess Leia Organa, the former sovereign, Bail Organa (who was recently murdered by IE spies), and generals. Luke lives with Padme and whom he supposes to be his father, who runs off to join and support the AC. When news of his death reaches Luke, the young boy heads for the AC centre, Alderaan.

He requests to see Leia, and only gets entrance when he mentions his father. Luke is told his ‘father’ was a Jedi, and could never tell that to anyone. Leia gives her sympathy, saying she can offer nothing else, and sends him to a ‘Ben Kenobi’. Unfortunately, his ship is ambushed, and he comes face-to-face with Lord Solo. He is taken back to Imperial City.

Leia hears of this and contacts Obi-Wan, asking him if Luke arrived. When Obi-Wan says ‘no’, Padme appears behind him, worried. Leia dials another number - that of Boba Fett - telling him she has another job for him one on top of the other one – one that shall pay him well in credits, and that is to retrieve Luke.

Luke is in his cell. Solo reports to the Emperor of the boy, and Vader gives a tactical report. Palpatine orders Solo to move the fleet to a certain sector.

Leia’s handmaidens (one of them is Mara Jade) are introduced, and she’s secretly called to the “Neutral Zone”, where her AC fleet and the IE will clash in battle. Dividing herself from the main fleet, she enters a stray star-system, where she encounters Han Solo, and grants him permission to come aboard.

The two happen to be secret lovers, using each other to gain advantage and knowledge of the opposing force. Solo lets it drop about the boy, and Leia cunningly avoids all questions. Han tells her to return to Alderaan for her own safety.

Vader meets Luke, and skilfully begins the brainwashing, teaching and altering everything the boy knows.

Solo attacks the AC force as soon as Leia withdraws, and wins easily.

Obi-Wan and Padme decide to contact the last remaining Jedi, who happen to be on the last free World in the Galaxy – Naboo. The small Jedi Academy is situated underneath the water, in one of the old Gungan cities. They are untouched by AC and IE law.

Leia retreats to pray beside her father’s memorial, asking him for guidance. She receives a vision, and strides into the war room, commandeering her forces to randomly attack and destroy bases along the IE border, ordering more effective ship production. One general believes he can solve her problem, and possesses a new design of ship.

Vader continues to train Luke in the ways of a Dark Jedi, and he operates a lightsaber, etc. Days pass like small time to him. Vader tells him of his heritage.

Leia sees these plans and the small base the young general has, and agrees to fund his ships. When she asks about one design, he says something along the lines of, “It’s special. My father first designed it, and I hope to complete it someday.” Leia asks if he’d manufacture one for her.

Obi-Wan and Padme find the Jedi, and convince them to lend aid. Hesitantly, they agree.

The AC attacks are successful over the coming weeks, weakening the IC borders, but the Emperor catches on and destroys the small force. Weeks pass...

Boba Fett makes his move – to kill the Emperor and rescue Luke – but is murdered by Dark Jedi Luke.

To stall for more time, Leia calls for a summit, to supposedly work out and discuss their differences. The Empire accepts, and instead of sending Lord Vader, he reveals Luke. Leia is running out of options waiting for the new fleet.

Solo tags along, secretly contacting Leia, via the Bothan spy net, and demands as to what the hell she’s doing.

The summit begins, and they debate, never intending to settle a thing. Leia and Han meet in private again.

The fleet is ready – Leia is suddenly contacted by Obi-Wan, who first trained her in the Jedi arts, and he tells her not to attack. Mara – leading the strike force – insists they must, and with tears in her eyes, Leia commands them, “Send your ships”

The AC attack, and thanks to Mara, she disables the main ship and takes Luke and Han into custody. When asked what to do with the other officers, she orders their death.

Obi-Wan senses a great disturbance, and through the Force, accidentally communicates with Vader. They share a bitter conversation.

Leia learns of the prisoners, and immediately has Han brought to her. He’s alarmed that she’d capture him, or even think to murder him, without even regretting it. However, she replies with, ‘I could I ever murder the father of my child?” And her secret is revealed. She’s five month pregnant – starting to show.

The Jedi arrive on Alderaan and pledge their support. Padme instantly visits Luke, who exclaims everything to be a lie, and tells of Vader being his father –forcing her away.

The ships proved to work beautifully in battle, and cautiously the general presents Leia with ‘The Empress’. Warning her to only use it when needed – he reveals to her of how it’s able to time-travel.

Vader reports to the Emperor, who shows Vader a picture of the Imperial Death Star – their new weapon, which will rid them of the AC for the last time.

Luke fights to get back to his father, hearing voices, when Han has practically given up hope of rescue. He’s starting to prefer staying with Leia.

Pleas come over the channel as Naboo is attacked and destroyed. Hastily, Leia sends reinforcements, but it’s too late – the Death Star has swept through that system – eliminating the last free World.

Alderaan is doomed under the assault of the Death Star, and her fleet is still in the Naboo system.

As a last ditch attempt, the Jedi command whatever forces left, and run to meet the striking force, with Alderaan’s protective shield going up.

Luke demands to go home, kills the guard, and nearly escapes, except Mara is there to automatically meet and stop him.

Leia watches the battle from her control screen, knowing all is lost, and issues a final thought and apology to her people, asking them to flee to the _______ system, and regroup in time. In what she believes will be her dying day, having failed her father, Han vows to stay with her.

The Jedi are loosing, with ship after ship destroyed - and barely escaping, Obi-Wan contacts Leia, instructing her to leave for the sake of her children, and visit the greatest Jedi Master, Yoda, on Dagobah.

Mara strides in with Luke. Leia insists she needs someone to blow the charges across Alderaan, destroying all the records, so she can’t leave. Padme interrupts, saying she can do that. For one moment, her eyes meet Luke’s, and sadly, they say farewell. Leia accepts reluctantly, and once all the others are away, Padme says something along the lines of, “Be safe, my darling daughter. Take care of the little one.” Leia is shocked, and only nods.

They get down into the cargo bay, and the only ship left is the Empress. Having been left with no other option, Leia takes one last look at Alderaan, and Luke says his last goodbye to his mother in the air.

They escape. Leia feels Ben’s death through the Force.

Leia demands her strike force to go ahead and regroup at the given coordinates, whilst they continue onto Dagobah.

Mara gets to know Luke, when guarding him. They ask each other questions, or something to that extent. In the end, Luke says he doesn’t need to be watched, that he doesn’t intend to make a move.

Leia/Han meet, and a still grieving Leia is comforted by Han. Finally, he confesses his true love for her and the child.

Luke shows Mara how to operate a lightsaber, and they slowly bond, but when he discovers her Force sensitivity, and she tries to “jump” into his mind – he draws back, dismissing her.

They arrive at Dagobah, and go down to the planet – meeting Yoda.

Yoda says the child must be protected at all costs, because he or she is the future of the Jedi. He invites them to stay – Leia says she cannot possibly accept, and wishes to go back to her people. Yoda takes her to a clouded lake, and using the Force, shows Leia of her death, if she returns. Accepting the truth, she sends a transmission to her First Admiral, advising them to scatter and protect themselves, until the time was right, and she’d return.

Months pass, and they all grow closer. Leia accepts all of what happened, and the knowledge of her parents – sharing that with Luke. Mara becomes obsessed with restoring power to the AC, and starting creating new battle tactics. Han defects, and Luke’s loyalty is swayed back to the AC. The child – who turned out to be twins – is born, and they are named Jacen and Jaina.

Desperately, Leia knows she should time with her children, though an emergency beacon enters the Dagobah system, calling her back to her people.

Leia and Han leave the children in the care of Yoda, and almost in hindsight, Leia can sense she’ll never see them again.

They arrive just in time, seeing the remaining AC fleet surrounding a small planet. Her people greet her back, some in contempt at seeing her trust Imperials. They report to her that the Imperials have assembled a strike force, and in 20 hours, will be in range to attack.

Touchy feely scene.

Leia conveys another speech to her people, dividing the AC force into attack formation. From spy reports, destroying the shield generator is the first priority, giving the ships capability to fire on the Death Star.

The AC manage to get their hands on a small Imperial shuttle-craft, and needing two men to pilot it – Luke and Han volunteer. The plan is to blow the Death Star reactor from the inside.

The attack commences – Luke kisses Mara, and Leia ensures their safety. The AC and IE collide in battle, the shield is forced down; Luke and Han dive in. Leia and Mara enter the battle in the Empress.

Luke encounters Vader inside, and tells Han to go along. They ignite their lightsabers. Han sets the charge above the reactor core, and is confronted by the Emperor. Luke, pleading with his father to realise, detaches one of Vader’s limbs, nearly killing him. Sensing Han is in danger, he crouches beside his father, and lets go of his final parent.

Luke dashed to help Han, distracting the Emperor away from his non-Force sensitive friend. Seeing through the strategy, Palpatine cuts Luke away, and sends Han hurtling back against the wall.

Defying pain, Luke gets back up again, forcing Palpatine back, practically glowing and reaching for strength, through the Force. Low on strength and barely conscious, he slices the Emperor with his lightsaber (details later). He goes to drag Han back to the shuttle, finding it has been disabled.

Luke calls for Leia through the Force, collapsing against the cargo bay floor with Han. They respond, and pilot the Empress inside the hanger. Mara fetches both of them – dragging the out-cold Han, and an injured Luke.

Leia barely manages to get them out of the cargo bay before the doors shut, due to some Imperial protocol. Glancing at the time, she sees the Death Star will explode before they get away. She’s left with only one option – the time travel drive.

The drive works, as according to the maker, and they jet through time. Leaving the cockpit, Leia goes to check on the others – holding a dying Han in her arms. Mara and Luke clutch each other, admitting their affection.

The ship shakes violently, the motion throwing everything. A wave of energy bombards the ship, as it’s thrown back into normal space, killing the occupants. With Leia’s last breath, she grasps her pendant. The ship has malfunctioned – this wasn’t supposed to happen.

The scientists close the databank, denoting that it would be essential to studying. Making a few comments to each other, the female scientist uncovers the dusty “ship nametag” of sorts, which reads ‘The Empress’. To end it off, something related to the word ‘Skywalker/Organa’ is mentioned, which will indicate what happened to the twins, and the whole family after that. The scientists cut the power, and leave the ship in peace.

Ooh, I love the plotline! grin

Revelations are always so much fun to write, especially when leaving readers at the very spot where characters blurt out some deep, dark, hidden secret. In this case, it's Leia's "How could I ever murder the father of my children!" line. Teehee.

I had a sudden thought today regarding the following:

To end it off, something related to the word ‘Skywalker/Organa’ is mentioned, which will indicate what happened to the twins, and the whole family after that.

Perhaps one of the scientists could actually be a descendent of the Skywalkers. After all, the Empress' disappearance should not have gone unnoticed, and I'm sure that it became somewhat of a mystery to those in the past. So, maybe to end it off, one of the scientists could suddenly be taken aback as he/she realizes: Th-this databank was speaking of my ancestors! And of course, the character feels touched and content for such an age-old mystery having been solved, and the other scientists can also marvel at the family ties.

Did you hear? This ship belonged to so-and-so's great-great-great-great-so-and-so!

silly Hehe, just kidding about that line.

Of course, this is just one thought. I'm sure there are many other approaches to connecting the Skywalkers/Organas at the end. happy

*StarDust*

How very interesting! shock And sad. cry Everyone dies! cry

It looks like you've got this whole thing planned out already. Should we give suggestions about the main story or just more of the little things? confused

Anyway, at the moment, I have one suggestion. I think it should be explained/told how the actions of the Organas and Skywalkers changed everything, and how it led to triumph or something. Otherwise the story is just too depressing, and I don't like those (I only wrote one like that once). sad

I also think that summary does need to expanded on, there are some points where I was a bit confused. happy

Hmm, maye a combination of both...

Mayhaps there could be a closing comment that the mysterious death of Palpatine was the turning point of the civil war?

Hmm, which are the points you're unclear on..?

Sorry guys for not popping in earlier. I’ve had a busy couple of days, and no way would the ‘real life’ monster let me go. Glad you all like the plot summary – and I agree it should be expanded and certain points defined. As I stated, that’s but a basis.

Thank you AQ for investigating.

Now, righteo, good idea, Stardust! The past should be tied in with the future in some way, and that might be an option. We’d have to pull it off effectively and make it sound real – we don’t want any Gary Stu or Mary Sue characters on our hands. Any other opinions on this topic?

Obaona, you can give suggestions on whatever bits you wish. As of right now, we don’t seem to be taking full advantage of this planning thread. I agree with you, the victory should be told in someway – perhaps the scientists could talk about it? – to demonstrate that the IE was beaten.

I’ve noticed that we don’t seem to be all clicking together, which provoked Dart to make the suggestion that we should all introduce ourselves and just give some insight into our lifestyles. We’re a new group, and it’s likely we’ll be dodging around each other for a while. I’ll start first:

Real name: Rebecca
Age: 15 (…and however many months)
Hobbies: Messing around, teasing, writing, singing, dancing, and watching the latest sci-fi shows/movies.
Favourite SW characters: Padme, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan, Leia Organa, and Han Solo.
Favourite SW Movie: Return of the Jedi
Favourite SW Book: Star By Star
SW genre addict: Prequel
Career choice: Law, specifically military law.
Appreciates: Rain, snow, manners, good driving, dirt roads, Sputnik, Woodstock, and custard.
Dislikes: Fools, Strawberry Shortcake, Iced Coffee.
Currently doing: Plotting to take over the boards (again!)
