Welcome to Episode IV of my 40th anniversary tribute series to Star Wars.
At least that's what I wanted to write here...
Some of you may have already seen me write this back in May 25th, so please hear me out...
Originally, I had intended to write a series of six one shots about each of the six original films as part of my 40th anniversary celebration of Star Wars, but I just couldn't get it done in time.
Each of my one shots was going to be a deeper analysis of a scene in Star Wars from a certain character's perspective. I choose to only deal with the original six films, because I grew up with those films and thus I am more familiar with them. I respect George Lucas so much I wanted to do a tribute series to his creation.
I like the new Disney produced films too; they are very entertaining. I just prefer to stick with the original six films, because not only are they the films I grew up, they are also the films that always contain the deeper messages about life which are always fun to talk about. The new Disney produced films...might have some of that. They just have not been around long enough to warrant deeper analysis...yet. Someday they will though. The best part about the new Disney produced films is that they always bring in new Star Wars fans. As an older Prequel generation fan, I am of the opinion that Rogue One is way better than The Force Awakens; mostly because RO tired to be as close to Lucas as possible, while TFA tried to distance itself from Lucas far too much, but I digress...
When I got around to completing at least the first story (I'm not sure if I was going to start with The Phantom Menace or A New Hope first) and this message that you are reading would've be erased and replaced with a real story. This message was a placeholder until I finish writing, at least one story, but alas...no. Not yet.
Several events happened for me not to actually publish this story.
I had a horrible accident where I was writing 2 of the one shots at once...then I accidentally hit the wrong button and deleted them both. I did not get very far with either story, but it still hurts that I had to start over again from scratch. That blunder might have tampered with my creativity a little bit.
I also got way too involved with some other stories I am writing, that I seriously neglected to contribute anything to this story, so I have completely rethought this story's concept.
This story will no longer be a series of SIX one-shots, but will instead be ONE one-shot. This story will also be re-titled into something more specific to the subject matter. BLUE HARVEST is simply a placeholder, until I come up with a better title. Veteran Star Wars fans like me, and probably you, know the significance of BLUE HARVEST and what it means. If you don't know what it means, go research it.
When can you expect an ACTUAL story to appear here? At the earliest: Dec. 15th. At the latest: Dec. 25th. If I can't get it done by then, this will just be deleted entirely.
I will also be experimenting with this story quite a lot. I am such a fan of George Lucas, I intend to follow in his every footstep, including going back and making multiple changes to my own creation. So if I say Greedo shoots first, Ewoks blink, Jabba's court has a big musical number, CGI creatures replace puppets, deleted scenes get restored into the film, Jar Jar gets the last line, and CGI creatures run amok in the background in the actual story, then by George it's gonna happen!
In the mean time dear reader, what can you do?
Feel free to check out the rest of my stories I have also written, especially my Star Wars + Ever After High crossover!
Go out and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars in your own way.
Watch the movies, watch the TV shows, watch behind the the scenes documentaries on the DVDs and Blu-Rays, play the video games, read the novels, read the comic books, read the guide books, read the behind the scenes books, throw a Star Wars party, make and eat Star Wars food, go ride Star Tours, play with the toys, play with the action figures, play with LEGOs, expand your collection, buy more merchandising, sleep in Star Wars sheets, wear Star Wars shirts, wear Star Wars gear, quote Star Wars in your everyday speech, use The Force to open automatic doors like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones, go to a Star Wars convention, meet a Star Wars celebrity, cosplay, make fan art, write fanfiction, read fanfiction, favorite someone else's fanfiction (Probably mine! Please...)
This Christmas, go see THE LAST JEDI! If you got time, go see JUSTICE LEAGUE (multiple times) too.
I know I am doing all of that this year!
All rights to Star Wars will forever belong to George Lucas, to which I, and everyone else is and will be eternally grateful.
So now that is all I have say to here. Enjoy the rest of your day.
This is Jedi business, go back to your drinks.
You may go about your business.
Move Along.
Move Along.
P.S. Those one-shots I originally planned, may still soon be seen publicly one day. In 2019 is the 20th Anniversary of The Phantom Menace, and I will definitely be writing a few tributes to that film. One of them will be the TPM tribute that would have originally this story's first real chapter,so you'll see it then.
P.P.S. In 2019, The Phantom Menace turns 20?! SERIOUSLY?! (In Yoda's Voice) Old, do I feel. When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not, hmmm?
