Here’s my perspective on that question:

Episode IX was a cool movie. It had visual appeal, great acting, a complex plot, and emotional intensity.

But it had a really high standard to reach for, and some just don’t think it got there.

I think one problem was that the makers lost Carrie Fisher and had to do a lot of rewriting. I don…[Read more]

Greetings, fellow Star Wars nerd!

Heh, heh, (nervous laughter) Self-inserts aren’t all cringy! (I mostly say this because my current fan fic’s MC started out as a self insert…) I’ve tried to develop her apart from my own personality, so hopefully she’s acceptable as her own character. And it’s a fan fic, so it’s not like anyone’s…[Read more]

Ok, thanks for letting us know! I always found pen names interesting. Does the S. stand for anything in particular? Or is it purely aesthetic?

The air was stale and suffocating. Solstice squirmed, trying to get in a more comfortable position. Even with her small stature the shaft was cramped. Goane must have had it even worse than her, but he made little complaint.

“Where are we going?” Solstice asked him.

“The energy source,” Goane grunted. “If I’m right, it should be pretty clos…[Read more]

I should have let you known sooner that you’re post didn’t come through. Sorry about that!

@rebekah12

You’re good. I think I saw your original post, but it was posted like a minute before the website updated and it must have gotten deleted…

Idk if any of us really know a set direction. I think it’s just kind of like, survive and get rid of Macha. Plot could definitely use some developing.

@joelle-stone

No problem! 😉

Solstice and Goane crept around to the back of the factory, careful to avoid the watchful eyes of the droid sentries and wolf-people.

The Padawans dashed forward and crouched against the side of the building, directly underneath an unsuspecting wolf-person standing on the catwalk above. They waited in tense silence until he moved on, and then…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

That sounds good!

Ember Onyx is the placeholder name I had down for him, he’s in the doc of all the characters under Aiphus’s entrants.

“We have to get in there and shut it down,” Goane said, and Solstice nodded in agreement. She carefully studied the layout and posted guards of the factory, as Ivaylo had taught her to do.

“Which side is our best bet?” Goane asked.

“On the back wall I sense only two wolf-people, and… I’m not sure how many droids. Maybe eight?” Solstice concen…[Read more]

Solstice exchanged a look with Goane, and then pulled up her hood. The two sheathed their lightsabers and crept away from the battle. They moved deeper into the thin alleyways and streets of the city, and the sounds of battle lessened.

“The droids’ source should be somewhere in that direction,” Goane said in a low voice, pointing ahead and to the…[Read more]

“Attack!!” The commanding battle droid screeched.

Bo’ and Gryphon began firing back immediately. Ivaylo activated his lightsaber and an energy shield on his vambrace, taking the defensive. They backed up to use the corner as cover.

Just before they ducked away, the king fired three perfect shots in rapid succession.

His paw shook as it held…[Read more]

Gryphon’s, Ivaylo’s, and Bo’s shots hit the cameras simultaneously.

A cacophony of alarms sounded.

Ivaylo lit his lightsaber and slashed the lock of the great metal door which held the king. He extended his hand and focused his energy on the door, slowly pulling it backwards. With a resounding crash it fell to the ground, and the startled face…[Read more]

Oh, I know how that is. 😉

“Fall back!” Zeinli’s cry of retreat echoed across the battlefield, calling the remaining clones and loyalist wolf-people back to the gate.

Rookie supported an injured wolf-person as he and the others moved as fast as they could to Zeinli.

“Ah, Rookie, we can always count on you to be the hero, can’t we?” Blac…[Read more]

Basically The Kid is working for Mr. B to help get inside information about the Cullings. And because he looks almost exactly like A’s deceased son, A develops a protective bond with The Kid, and when The Kid betrays A, A is heartbroken.

The Kid is a mysterious forth player. He somehow got into the Cullings illegally, and…[Read more]

They waited for several minutes in silence before the governor was completely gone.
Without a word Ivaylo started down the hall leading to the king. He reached the corner and halted, peering cautiously around it. Several security cameras were active and scanning the room. Ivaylo turned to the men.

“On my mark, fire at the cameras. Gryph, you g…[Read more]

“The Jedi are here, Count Dooku! In the capital!” Anxiety and irritation filled the man’s voice. “You promised me that the droids would keep them away!”

“And they will, Lord Ufflu’arn. I am sending reinforcements as we speak.” The deep, intense voice of Count Dooku spoke, slightly distorted by the holo-call. Gryphon and Bo’ exchanged looks,…[Read more]

Yeah, they knew the Separatists were invading, but now they find out that the king’s head governor betrayed the king and is working with the Separatists.

Ivaylo scaled the last several rungs of the escape hatch and waited in silence at the top. He flung the hatch open and leapt out, hands near his weapons. He scanned the light-grey stone room.

“It’s clear,” He said to Bo’ and Gryphon. His two companions jumped out.

Gryphon moved to one of the large windows.

“Looks like our distraction is workin…[Read more]

Solstice’s hand drifted toward her lightsaber hilt. Something was coming, something bad… the sense of foreboding grew and spread throughout her body before a sudden explosion of warning shot through her mind.

“Everyone down!” Solstice screamed just as laser fire erupted from the trees.

Five round metal contraptions dropped from the treetop…[Read more]
