"I do, as a matter of fact, write these stories more for the fans of Star Wars than I do myself, though I cannot deny having a sense of pride when I write them."

In 2004, he transferred to Boy Scout Troop 62, also in Flemington, New Jersey, due to issues he had with the adult leadership.

Sequel-Trilogy.Net
Sequel-Trilogy.Net started out as a collaboration between Brandon Rhea, Michael Jones and Gregg Tasoulas. Their intention was to create a site that acted as if the Original Star Wars Trilogy had never been created, meaning that the only Star Wars films out there would have been the Prequel Trilogy. The dates for the first three films were the same (1999, 2002, 2005), but then they wrote up press releases, acting as George Lucas, saying that Episode IV would be released in 2008. The intention of this site was never to deceive anyone, unlike SuperShadow.Com, but rather to give readers a look at what spoilers for Episode IV might have looked like. This idea died a slow and painful death. However, they soon decided to change the focus of the site to general Star Wars news and Fan Fiction.

The Alternative Star Wars Saga
Brandon and Gregg decided to begin writing an Alternative Trilogy, an alternate universe Star Wars Trilogy, but because of conflicting ideas they began writing separate stories. Gregg decided to stick with just Episode IV - Episode VI, but Brandon decided to expand the saga and write Episode IV - Episode IX, the first of the two trilogies being an entirely original storyline. There were many bumps in the road, and at one point Brandon and Gregg were fired from Sequel-Trilogy.Net. While they were gone, a new staff member named Eric Giordmaina was brought in. Gregg eventually disappeared, but Brandon came back to the site after mending his friendship with Michael Jones, both of them decreeing the entire ordeal as one big misunderstanding. However, when he returned, he learned that Michael was planning something big.

Fi-Sci.Net
For months, Michael Jones had dreamed about creating a Science Fiction/Fantasy website. Michael, Eric and Brandon eventually made that dream a reality. They called this reality Fi-Sci.Net

Soon, Eric began to quickly make a name for himself in the film industry. Taking over the role as Chief News Editor, Eric began to make handy contacts within the industry. Under the leadership of Michael, Fi-Sci.Net is becoming the one stop shop for all your Sci-Fi/Fantasy needs. Because there are writers from the United States, Great Britain and Australia, the entire globe is covered 24/7.

The Star Wars RP
When Brandon was fired from ST.N for a month or so, a man named Steven Alldis, who had already made a name for himself, offered him a job. He would co-operate a site called "The REAL SuperShadow", a site that exposed the lies of Mickey Suttle, aka. SuperShadow. Along with this, Brandon was made a moderator of TheStarWarsRP, a site hosted at ProBoards. Weeks later, Steven decided that regular modship was not a suitable job for Brandon, so he promoted him to the level of Global Moderator. In July 2005, when it was decided a new Administrator was needed, Steven chose Brandon for the position, a position where Brandon has now earned the respect of the entire site.

In November 2005, the members moved from their ProBoards site to an Invision based site called TheStarWarsRP.Com where Brandon continues to serve as an Administrator.

Bendu Order
The Bendu Order was an ancient and noble monastic peacekeeping organization in the Ashlan Expanse that was one of two great orders that emerged during a schism within the Jedi Bendu Order 15,000 years before the Battle of Yavin IV. The Bendu Order was unified through it’s belief in the god Yahweh and his omnipotent presence, known as the Force of Others. Wielders of this mystic energy and signature long swords, the Bendu Knights were revered as guardians of an everlasting peace in the Ashlan worlds.

Dark Guardians of Lettow
The Dark Guardians of Lettow were a group created by the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness Carden Mannux that worshiped the Dark Side of the Force and, in time, was bent on aiding the Sith Empire in destroying the Jedi Order. They were galactically renowned for their brutal discipline and lust for power in their upper ranks, along with the unholy methods they used to attain it.

During the early days of the faction, the Lettow simply worshiped the Dark Side of the Force, getting ready to unleash their fury when they were called upon to do so. They were rediscovered by a Dark Lord of the Sith during the Millennium of Hiding and served the two Sith Lords for nearly eight hundred years.

The Lettow were instrumental in many battles during The Galactic Civil War, most notably the First Battle of Alderaan, the Battle of Endor, the Sieges of Naboo and the First Battle of Coruscant. However, during the First Battle of Coruscant, all but two Dark Guardians were destroyed, thus wiping out almost four thousand years of hard work and determination on the part of Carden Mannux, Damien Starkiller and many others.

Ussej Padric Bac III
Ussej Padric Bac III was born to a long line of legendary war heroes, politicians, Jedi Knights, Sith Lords and Bendu Priests. His ancestor, Jonathan Bac, was the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. His grandparents were Laili Jeyna Rendar, the sister of his great-uncle Kit Corwin Rendar, and Saint Ussej Padric Bac who went on to become the Shaman of the Whills. His mother, Bara ErMez, came from the village of Vattica and his father, Ussej Padric Bac II, was a Bendu Priest and the one who fulfilled the first passage of the Prophecy of the Nine Prophets.

The third Bac to bear the name “Ussej Padric”, he served as the sole Bendu High Priest during The Great Sovereign Crusades and was instrumental in the disastrous Holy War that brought the Sith Empire to power, exiled the Jedi Order and brought the Galactic Republic to the brink of destruction.

However, his mistakes during the war brought about an age of awakening for the Bendu Order. After he died on Mustafar, the newly elected High Priest Josiah Rendar helped the Bendu Order rebuild itself from the ground up. During this time, not only were there changes in appearance to a more formal and monk-like style, but also a change in the way that the Order viewed itself. The three men of the Bac Family helped them to realize what happens when pride gets the best of people, including those held in such high regard.
