	StarWars.com is providing fanboys with the opportunity to do what they've alwaysw wanted to do: write Star Wars stories their way. What's the story? Basicially how it works is you submit your idea for the backstory of a character that desn't have one already and it might make it's way into the sw.com databank. Cool, huh? -----signature----- Paul Myers of... The Unofficial Clone Wars Site http://www.clonewarz.com NKU Students First http://www.nkustudentsfirst.com

	Oh, wonderful. They've just thrown continuity to the dogs. Seeing Palpy, Maul, Yoda, and the others assigned backstory that is really just best left blank is going to be chaotic, especially if SuperShadow crap gets into the system. -----signature----- Super Golden Ewok™ Recipient It should be the right of every American to go out and get wasted the day they're told that they're being sent to war.

	It's not a free-for-all. They are apparently going to review each one and double-check things against continuity. Then out of the ones that fit they pick the best. I think that this is really cool and gives us fans a chance to make our own official mark on the EU. I bet people who write fan fics are just salivating at this opportunity. Kudzu posted: Oh, wonderful. They've just thrown continuity to the dogs. Seeing Palpy, Maul, Yoda, and the others assigned backstory that is really just best left blank is going to be chaotic, especially if SuperShadow crap gets into the system. They're not gonna give any important characters to us I'm sure. Lucas won't even let real authors tackle Yoda. Why would he let some fanboy? Look at who the first person is. John Knoll's opera character. I'd be surprised if they even throw out a character with a name already given. I have faith that LFL knows what their doing. -----signature----- "A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto San Jose Sharks:16-6-4 Defending President's Trophy Winners

	This seems great- depending on how frequent it is, it could help fill the void left by Decipher's CCG and allow the prequels to get fleshed out better. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	If and when the "final" version is posted, those who have submitted entries should post them here so we can compare them. Me, I'm rather proud of the acomplishments I've come up with for "Jon'ka Dobé" -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Hoj L'lonk sounds like he's going to be very boring in comparison. I ran past the word limit and had to cut all the really juicy stuff. -----signature----- hey, who turned out the lights?

	"Noel Jhani" in my case, in a tale of crime and hubris. I had to cut out some stuff too, but mostly wordiness and extraneous detail. It would be amusing to submit a "normal" backstory: "_____ _____ was a wealthy businessman on Coruscant. One day he decided to go see an opera. He rather liked it." -----signature----- Great midis have little midis Swimming round inside 'em And little midis have lesser midis And so ad infinitum.

	I don't really like the idea. If that's what the new HS is going to look like, then I might cancel my membership. But before we can really judge this feature we'll have to wait and see what the first entries are going to look like. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=17957101&start=20278588 Let's discus changes for the Archival edition due out in 2007 (or 2012 ).

	My 'Jono Noll' is part of the team responsible for the visual effects of Squid Lake. Yeah, predictable, I'm sure, but hey-ho. Ah, I forgot about Knoll's other SW cameo. The Bravo pilot in TPM is called Rya Ksirch or something similar. Dunno if anyone wants to relate the two somehow. Well, this feature looks like fun anyway. And no, they definately won't be letting us muck around with Yoda's backstory or anything. I guess we'll be getting a few Galaxies patrons, perhaps a few unknown Senators (perhaps that red-faced Sidious-concept guy?) and possibly Utapauns or Wookiees or something. And hopefully it won't just be limited to characters; perhaps we could create a profile for Tellenroag, that lost Clone Wars world, or give some tech specs for the Felucia cargo walker or Mygeeto hovertank... -----signature----- "A true Knight, Qui-Gon is.

	>>"And hopefully it won't just be limited to characters; perhaps we could create a profile for Tellenroag, that lost Clone Wars world, or give some tech specs for the Felucia cargo walker or Mygeeto hovertank..."<< Apparantly it'll cover "characters, creatures, locations, vehicles, and more seen in the Star Wars films", so Tellenroag looks grim. -----signature----- hey, who turned out the lights?

	Anyone work in said opera goer's "relative" who died in the Battle of Naboo? I haven't written one yet, but that did occur to me. I'll definitely work it in if I do write one. I've been wondering just how far we could go with these, as far as tying in other characters or events. I mean, I know we can submit whatever we want, but would something big ever get posted, like this guy being a relative of a major EU (or even film) character? -----signature----- Ozzel on Wookieepedia Steppin' softly in a danger zone!
