So, @Sep... how's your Koren post coming along?


In about 5-6 hours it'll be coming along fine.

Thinking about the lore, I got to thinking about the lore. So, what is everyone's favorite lore?


Legends: Yuuzhan Vong War. It just brings something new, and something terrifyingly threatening. This is a species not just wanting to control the Galaxy such as the Sith but they want to change it.

Canon: AS most already here know I am a big fan of the Galactic Civil War and the current material being pumped out by Disney is super interesting. From the Comics following the Heroes of ANH and Darth Vader to books such as Battlefront: Twilight Company. My favourite has to be Lost Stars. It may be essentially a love story but it follows events in the Empire from before the Battle of Yavin right up to the Battle of Jakku.

What I think would be a good movie: I perosnally feel if Disney wants to keep doing this "main story" idea and spin offs they should go to the Old Republic for ideas. It adds a sense of threatening, if you go far enough back (Such as Kotor) anything can happen. People won't go into the cinema and go "Well such and such has to win because they're in Episode 1!" or something like that.

If Disney chooses to go with Revan I feel they'd probably spin it into a trilogy playing on Revans popularity and his clear story arcs. Such as Revanchism/Mandalorian wars, before his fall and leading of the Sith Empire and then his return to the light (or exile).

As this RP no doubt testifies, our favorite era is that of the Old Republic. In particular, eras where not everything is set in stone and where the Jedi have guts and the Sith are many.

As for movie potentials, we think movies set around the major events in the old republic legends. In no particular order:
Great Galactic War.
Revanchism.
Darth bane and Rule of Two
Mandalorian Wars
KOTOR (2)
Great Hyperspace War
Exile of the first Sith
Exar Kun & the Great Sith War.

Too many good options. Maybe stories borrowing from several of these at once, but not blindly following them.

Darth bane and Rule of Two


As Darth Bane is canon, it is possible.

Though all this mention of Malachor...

I got a feeling Disney is working on something.

Roll call, namely as there's been no update or any signs of activity from a few of you. This worries me a bit so you all have until 4 days later to report in and state your status of your interest.

<Snipped quote by Sep>

Been 3 days, I suggest you post or I will with Navi.

This waiting for everyone to post really has to stop folks, honestly. If you have question, thoughts or ideas utter here and we'll talk about them. Hell shooting the shit is welcomed too. An active OoC helps and will pass the time if you want to give someone a day or two to post or mention they can't. Communication is very, very important and right now, I think we're floundering even in the social degree here. :p


Bah, who needs to be social? Everyone just needs to love and obey Sish.

Everyone.

Sish needs to make his presence known. Right now, Jedi already are starting to wonder if he's a bogeyman. :P

I've heard of them, though can't say I'm familiar with them. Define change btw, namely as that subject is a board term and mean from complete domination over the galaxy (as you've pointed out) to extermination. What were some of the things they were aiming to do or accomplish if they had succeeded?

What would be some of the things you would like to see them do a spin on? And *gasps* Sep reading a love story! For shame, you're going to ruin your image there though now I'm curious to know why this love story was readable to you? Also, could you detail a bit of the Galactic Civil War since I'm not familiar with and I enjoy hearing people explain about the lore because there's that fun enthusiasm in their writing that I enjoy.

I recall that as Ellri and Echo are informing about that era slowly for our threesome pm rp.

Though I agree with the whole aspect of having pre-established characters, and doing things out of order. It makes it hard to create that tension since you already know who is going to live and who is going to die causing you to relax a bit too much as long as it's not your fave that dies. Also some plot aspects are already set in stone because of this which I find irritating.

I think it might be fun to see how they portray some of the Old Republic stuff though I worry they might go more for ratings than story, which tends to screw up a lot of the movies now a days. They went to try to give everyone something they will enjoy which is technically impossible. Though if they do a Revan series, what bits and pieces would you really like to see within it? Any key scenes or elements?

As this RP no doubt testifies, our favorite era is that of the Old Republic. In particular, eras where not everything is set in stone and where the Jedi have guts and the Sith are many.

I usually felt if you borrow from too many different sources, you risk a huge ass mess and things get tricky for the next guy to tie them all together. It made more sense to focus on one story than progress it, vaguely hinting to other lore when it became important rather than try to incorporate it fully or as a brief, important aspect within it.

I'm still present, just haven't been able to do anything with Fa since my last response.


I'll get the replies up this week, likely in a few days. If I don't, jiggle me on the OC and remind me. I'm waiting to get the Jedi to catch up or at least progressed more because we're already on night of the 3rd day and nearly heading into the 4th day, meaning the Jedi would again be 2 days behind again rather than a day.

*peeks in* Hallo folks. I was speaking with Ellri about joining the group last night, and I'm working on a sheet as I type. Thought I would drop in here to see how everyone is doing.

Anyways, the name's Bane.


Ah, you're the new rescuer interest? Nice to meet you and how do you do, my name's Fallen. *holds out hand and shakes* Welcome to Aftermath and happy the current length of the rp hasn't scared you off. We're a nice bunch, I promise.

My favorite Lore is actually fanon, namely the Zabrak as many people know already. I namely enjoy what people had done and built on based off of what they all liked about the various Zabrak Jedi, Sith, and other characters that have appeared over the course of the Lore. Though like a lot of fanon, I did tone down the original for balance. The only thing that irritates me is the fact the language lacks very little, if any, unity in how its created and makes adding more rather difficult since I can't figure out the rules. I'm considering rewriting a version for Aftermath Zabrak or my own use, rather than purely using what was already established namely as I get bored easily.

@Ellri I'll get around to the updates in the summary later this evening as I have some packing to do and food to make.

Change as in large-scale modification of fauna/flora on countless worlds, @Fallenreaper.

Almost everything in the Old Republic era has been defined "legends" rather than Canon. If they do go down the borrow-from-multiple-sources path, it will be in the form of defining a new canon out of it. We would actually prefer if it had use of characters without a clearly defined future and ending.

What were some of the things they were aiming to do or accomplish if they had succeeded?


Domination, as they saw the galaxy as given to them by their gods. Extermination of species that did not suit them, or planets that did not bow to their whim. Also they saw technology as an abomination so worked on destroying all of it too. The Jedi themselves were also abominations due to their abilities.

What would be some of the things you would like to see them do a spin on?


I'm quite happy with what they're doing if I'm honest. Bring on Rogue One!

And *gasps* Sep reading a love story! For shame, you're going to ruin your image there though now I'm curious to know why this love story was readable to you?


It was just really well done. The story of the two characters takes point over the actual love story. It's not forced, it feels like a natural progression for the characters and it isn't over cheesified.

Also, could you detail a bit of the Galactic Civil War since I'm not familiar with and I enjoy hearing people explain about the lore because there's that fun enthusiasm in their writing that I enjoy.


The Galactic Civil War is essentially from mere months after Palpatine takes control right up until the New Republic and Empire form an uneasy truce pre-Episode 7. It's a good old underdog/good guy story. Watch the Original Trilogy, it'll key you in :P

Though if they do a Revan series, what bits and pieces would you really like to see within it? Any key scenes or elements?


I'm actually hoping they don't. It's just a logical choice. I'd rather see them make their own new unique stories and while Revan is quickly being established as something that happened in the past of the Galaxy I'd quite like it to remain in the past.

We all have days like that, though if you can't post IC then at least try to be active in the OoC. Maybe relaxing might allow inspiration to come to you and suddenly it will click?

Yes, currently. I think it's your turn though Echo's a bit brain dead from resetting his bio-clock so don't expect much writing out of him until later. However, he might be in better shape tomorrow after he's slept.
