Chapter by Chapter (CBC) Discussions return New Years Day after a lengthy hiatus. Be sure to check out the ROTS, LOTR and HP discussions in Prequel Trilogy and SFF: Films and Television.


Classic Trilogy has a new game: The Classic Trilogy Scene Write/Rewrite Contest! Here, you will have an oportunity to write new scenes and rewrite original ones! Every other week, we will have a new scene for you to use your imagination and write it as you thought it should have been, or you will also be able to write a new scene in all your fanboy/fangirl glory, based on the criteria for that week's contest! So get out your pencil and paper everyone, and head over to The Classic Trilogy Scene Write/Rewrite Contest thread and show us your vision of how Classic Trilogy scenes should be written! If you want to vote for your favorite submission, please send a PM to jedimasterbac, the contest host. This week, we are writing a new scene for Emperor Palpatine dissolving the Imperial Senate. The winner of each round will receive VIP status and granted colors!

No matter what forums you visit on a regular basis, you've probably seen a draft thread. Be it the The Video Game Draft found in Games: Video Games, The Comic Book Draft found in Census and Games, the The Starfighter Draft, found in EU Community, or the The Movie and Television Character Draft found in Census and Games.

But, the draft that started it all ... the granddaddy of them all ... the Rose Bowl of Draft Threads ... the Jedi Draft is entering the finals in Star Wars Community, and will name a champion for the first time in over a year! So, if you're a long time draft-a-holic and want to see the end of a great one, or if you're just wondering what these draft games are all about head on over and check it out!

JP30 has figured out Matt Groening's vile plan to off various celebrities. Get them to guest star on the Simpsons! Read about the Simpson's curse in that wacky forum, Your Jedi Council Community.

In The Senate, discussion has started on the 2008 US elections. Go to the US Elections 2008 Discussion for some speculation and a little bit of analysis.

Got a little pent up frustration from the holidays and the football games? Go to The Arena and let us know who you'd like to see with a pink slip.

 

A slightly late addition, but in SSSW we've opened a thread dedicated to the FMV cut sequences found in many SW video games (we've started with Rebel Assault II). The thread (found here), isn't about video games in general, but deals only with the acting sequences that you'll only ever find on the small screen.
