Description
This is a piece of fan fiction imagining what might have happened if 1999's Episode I: The Phantom Menace was rewritten. I kept elements from the film which I liked and freely invented new ones as I saw fit. I wanted to recapture the magic of the original trilogy which I felt were missing from the prequels. It's a story by me, for me--a personal writing challenge that I set myself long ago which I now choose to share as fanfic. Please note: this is NOT EROTICA! (waits for the whoosh from everyone leaving to die down) Ok, good that's out of the way. Also note: I started writing this story in July of 2019. No one had ever heard of COVID-19. The plot of the story and current events are nothing more than an eerie coincidence. No offense to anyone, nor any exploitation of this traumatic world emergency, is intended. Next, you should know that it's written as a screenplay to help me visualize it in cinematic format. To me, Star Wars in its purest form is and always will be a movie. But if you don't like reading screenplays, then you may find the following pages clunky and hard to follow. It should be compared to the original: https://johanw.home.xs4all.nl/StarWars/starwars1.html It goes without saying that this is probably not for prequel fans. Rather, this is an alternative telling of the story that strives to make my relationship with Star Wars more satisfied. Now to contemplate legalities. This derivative work of Star Wars intellectual property is intended as fair use. I do not/will not profit from it, the nature of the work is fan fiction, the story is a significant departure from the original, and I do not anticipate it having any market impact on the original. If anything, readers will be helpless against the urge to go out and by Obi-Wan action figures.
