Re: Developing a Star Wars Fan Film Story
|
Once again, I am impressed... The tutorials on this site are the best!!! I especially like this one... As we all know, it is far too easy to make a film just to showcase original ideas for great f/x shots, but that's not what StarWars is about, natch...
I feel that the best way to make your film is to first write your script based solely on the story, without even considering f/x... then you can go back and see what tricks you can use to enhance and help move your story along... The magic of StarWars, what really has set it apart from all others, is that it is character driven... Just remember that, and always keep it in mind, and you can't fail!!!

24/2
Obi-Wan Kenobi smiled at Anakin Skywalker as he squatted down in front of him to give him instructions.
"Anakin, wait here while I speak with the councilor. I shouldn't be to long. You could pratice your Wind/Sand meditation while you wait and show me how you're coming when I return."
'Yes Ob-... Master. I'll work on it. But do I have to stay here? I could being fixing my saber back in my room." Anakin asked pleadingly.
"Yes, you must wait here. You are to always wait for me when I need you too, Anakin. It is you duty to me as my Padawan. I know it's hard at times but you must develop patience. That is a lesson too you know." Obi-Wan instructed.
"Yes, Master." Anakin answered resigned to having to just wait when he could be doing more interesting things.
Obi-Wan smiled at him and nodded his aproval and then went to the door and announced himself. The door opened and with one last winkj at Anakin Obi-Wan entered Adi Gallia's chambers.
"Welcome Knight Kenobi. Please be at ease. You wished to speak with me?" Gallia asked as she stood in front of the tall windows, her arms neatly tucked into her robe sleeves.
Obi-Wan thought she looked older that her remembered her from the meetings on Naboo, but it could have just been the light.
Obi-Wan bowed deeply before he started.
"Yes, Master Gallia. I wanted to discuss an odd request made of me by Chancellor Palpatine. It seems he may have misunderstood the scope of my duties regarding the Chancellery.
"He has asked me to determine if the council has had any dealings concerning Anakin's mother on Tatooine. I explained that I had no knowledge concerning this and that the council would have informed me if it were anything that they wished to share with him. He insinuated the it would be in my best interest to seek that knowledge out in any case." Obi-Wan paused waiting for Gallia to digest the information.
Gallia didn't move but remained in her pose and seemed to looking beyond him, "Do you take his insinuation as a threat?" she asked.
"Yes, an indirect one perhaps, but most definitely a threat." Obi-Wan said waiting for her to demand an explaination for his conclusion.
"What harm could the Chancellery inflict on a Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi?" she asked coolly.
"I... I don't really know. I'm sure he could have me removed from this position but I would not find that disturbing. He has no access to my history or records, he could have me kidnapped or attacked but not easily." Obi-Wan sighed as he could not find anything that seemed plausible.
"It is difficult to threaten one who has no fear. What do you fear Obi-Wan Kenobi?" she asked as she turned to look out the window.
Obi-Wan didn't like the direction the conversation was heading. He wanted to deliver his information and be done with it. But if Gallia wanted to get philosophical then so be it...
" I fear... for my Padawan. I fear I might fail him or misguide him in some way. I fear for the Order, that hard won trust could be swept away far too easily. I fear for the future of the Republic."
Gallia was quiet for sometime. She finally turned, looked directly in his eyes and said "I have had some of those fears too. Be cautious Obi-Wan Kenobi. My fears were used against me. My fears allowed great sadness to the brought to yourself and the Order. Guard you Padawan carefully. Do not underestimate Palpatine. Know that these are not the first such requests that he had made of his Liaison or the last. Be mindful. Give him only what will meet the minimum needs of his request. Keep me informed of any other transgressions on the part of our Chancellor."
Obi-Wan gathered himself for the next question he had to ask. It was time he found out if he was really going to be of use to the council or only another decoy for their manipulations.
He looked Gallia in the eyes and asked, "Master Gallia, if I may ask, has the council any plans regarding Anakin's mother?"
Gallia held his eyes for longer than Obi -Wan liked but finally as if deciding something for herself, she answered, "No."
Obi-Wan bowed and left Gallia's chamber but when he had closed the door behind himself he realized Anakin was not waiting where he had left him.

Re: "Legacy" TPM AU fanfic

Thank you P.U.T. Daisies for that vote of confidence- as long as your reading... here's some more.
Lohane sat impatiently in the Quartermaster's office. A Knight assigned by the council had brought him and told him to wait. He had already been 'detained' for 2 days.
At least they had allowed him to stay with Obi-Wan and Anakin while Nakai had made pleas for his release, but as an outsider here he was suspect for his involvement in the rescue/escape of Xanatos.
This even though he had helped Obi-Wan and Nakai was aquatinted with the council was being cautious after all that had gone on.
They had questioned Nakai for countless hours as well concerning the death of Darii. Durgan as Nakai had come close to losing his patience but had managed to convince them that he had killed Darii while protecting Obi-Wan. They had never mentioned a second Nafieri so Qui-Gon had gotten away in time.
Nakai finally arrived at the Quartermaster's office to pick up Lohane and *escort* him back to his transport. Nakai had been tasked with making apologies to the Nafieri for Lohane's delay and ascertaining if they would still be available as transportation for Nakai when he needed to return to Nar Shadda for his archeological research.
The two left with Lohane in the lead and Nakai bringing up the rear.
"Rhayna has asked us to look in on the Malastarian Embassy. It seems Xanatos has gone to ground there from the trace readings she's been following. Oddly Darii had business there as well. We may have to do a more through investigation later." Nakai said quietly as they walked.
"How's Qui- .. Jennar? Things would certainly have been less complicated if he hadn't known who Darii was." Lohane said as he remembered the wave of anguish he had felt from Qui-Gon through the bond. Lohane had felt little from Qui-Gon since or Rhayna for that matter. It made him curious but not unusually so.
Durgan shook is head. "Hmmm, I'm not sorry I told him. I need to understand these Jedi. That he has feelings about the incident is a good thing, if you ask me. Sad yes, but I trust him all the more for his behavior. Perhaps he will stay with Rhayna after all." Durgan added wistfully.
They arrived at the Malastar Embassy and watched for sometime. Lohane decided he needed to take a closer look and went inside with the pretense of looking for dispatches to transport. He wasn't gone long and when he returned to Nakai he was quite agitated.
"Xanatos is there and something is in the works. I had an 'episode' while' I was waiting to speak to the dispatcher. I will have to show Rhayna. Let's get back."
Nakai followed but didn't miss that they were being watched as they left so the two split up to work their way back to the ship by different routes.
Lohane arrived back at the ship first and found no one about to greet him and it was very quiet. He swept his shabba off and reached out with his mind gently to find Rhayna. She was with Qui-Gon on the main cargo deck, sitting in the corner of their exercise area on the cushions that were placed there for watching and resting between sessions.
He smiled to himself and not wanting to intrude went to his quarters to change his clothes.
Durgan returned shortly thereafter and had no trepidations about intruding at all. He went right to the cargo hold to update Rhayna and Qui-Gon on events at the temple.
"Have all your Jedi council forgotten that they were once warriors or is it that they just like politics all too well? I haven't been that tested since Urdu 6 and the Siscan deal that Lohane got us into." Durgan ranted as he entered and found Qui-Gon holding Rhayna affectionately. He pretended not to notice and continued his rant.
"I have nothing against answering questions or evading questions for that matter, but when they make little or no sense, it's hard to keep still about it. Your Obi-Wan faired much better than I did. Even though I was given some consideration for my age being the cause of my abrasive attitude . Mundi was even enjoying it. So what news from Obi-Wan?"
Rhayna went to sit up but with a subtle touch, Qui-Gon gently insisted she remain as she was. She studied him for a moment and then relented.
"Obi-Wan has told us Palpatine is seeking Anakin's mother. They have not been able to locate her on Tattooine. He thinks the council has removed her. But it seems that someone has been there ahead of either party." Finished speaking he brushed his face gently against the top of Rhayna's head.
Durgan watched this small interchange out of the corner of his eye as he removed his robe and outer tunic preparing to use exercise to work off his pent up frustration. Something was different. Qui-Gon no longer seemed to be grieving, in fact he seemed almost happy. Curious, he made a note to question Rhayna about it later.
"Has Lohane returned? He had an episode at the Malastar Embassy. There is a connection between Darii and Xanatos there, but I doubt it has to do with the Malastarians."
"Lohane is in his quarters. It seems he was being 'polite'," Rhayna said softly as she stroked Qui-Gon's arm where it crossed her stomach, "Something you have little patience for I know, but I need to speak with you both."
//Lohane, ... now. Your presence is requested. Bring some gria with you, this looks like it could be a long discussion. Qui-Gon is not planning on moving anytime soon if I'm reading him correctly.// Durgan sent to him as he began the first of his forms in an attempt to wind down and relax. Then his comm unit beeped.
********************
Obi-Wan closed the door to Gallia's private meeting room and reached out into the Force seeking the location of his apprentice. He felt Anakin's presence somewhere to the left and immediately went seeking him. In a small room not far from where Obi-Wan had left Anakin, he could hear voices and went in to find a beaming Anakin talking with a smiling Chancellor Palpatine.
"Ah, Knight Kenobi. You've found us. I was just sharing some news with young Anakin. I have told him that we have just received news of his mother. As you can see he is very excited about it." Palpatine continued to smile with his hands crossed before him looking down at Anakin.
"Master, they think they've found Mom and are going to try and bring her here. Isn't that great!" Anakin said bursting with relief and happiness.
"Yes, Anakin that is good news, but you should have waited for me. It was you duty as a padawan. Now thank the Chancellor as we must be returning to our duties." Obi-Wan said calmly concealing his alarm at what Palpatine had just told the boy.
"Chancellor, I will meet with you at the arranged time to discuss council business. I have some news but it can wait 'til then."
"As you wish Knight Kenobi. I sure we will have much to talk about then." Palpatine did not smile at Obi-Wan but bowed and left the room.
"Come Anakin. We will go to our quarters and discuss what a padawan's duty is to his Master." Obi-Wan was seething with worry. If he couldn't keep track on Anakin in the core of the temple how was he to protect him. He now understood the depth of Gallia's words. His padawan was his weakness and the Chancellor knew it and had demonstrated his ease at gaining access to Anakin. He did not want to frighten Anakin, but how could he impress upon the boy that this man, who was recovering his mother, was not to be trusted.
He needed Qui-Gon's council on the matter. Anakin would have to stay with Obi-Wan if he would be kept safe. He called Master Nakai on his comm unit hoping to relay a message to Qui-Gon.
"Nakai"
"Master Nakai, I have had some trouble again with those crystals that I purchased from the Nafieri. I wondered if you would be seeing them, could you send Jennar to me so that I might get things settled." There was a pause before a response came back to hi
