Star Wars 2.0

I've been putting together a fan fiction version of Star Wars over the past year or so.  It went very slowly for a while because it's low on the priority list.  However, lately I've determined that if I'm going to do this, I need to freakin' do it.  So I'm getting it finished and set up.

The reason I'm writing fan fiction is because it's very difficult to get readers to look at something new, especially those who are into sci fi and fantasy.  South Park has parodied this behavior very well with their "member berries" where they keep remembering old things rather than appreciating something new.

Well, Relic Worlds benefits from being similar to two old, popular brands, Indiana Jones and Star Wars.  So, since people really like to read things about Star Wars, I figured I'd do my take on how the prequels should be done.

In fact, I've really enjoyed this because, like most people, I was disappointed by the prequels, and feel they could have been so much more.  So I've created this story about the two brothers, Anikan and Owen, both of whom have the force, but Owen has turned away from it, recognizing the hatred and fear that exists inside him.  Anakin has embraced it and become a Jedi, something that Owen, who has become a smuggler, thinks is a bad idea.

The story is continuing on fanfiction.net, and you can find it here: https://www.fanfiction.net/story/story_edit_property.php?storyid=11228268
