"We must always be aware of the threat within...but the threat is not within Dular."

Judging from the "To be continued" of The Drewton Legacy Chapter 22 and the image on the right, it looks like we now know who that threat is within.

...unless if it really is Dular?

Post-production of Star Wars The Drewton Legacy Chapter 23: The Threat Within is nearly finished, and I've already started work on pre-production for Chapter 24: Battle for Adni-Rahn. The battle of the latter will be continued from The Threat Within and be on a snow-covered planet (funny how we went from one extreme to another :P).

The original first chapter of Star Wars: The Drewton Legacy from 2006 was simply a retelling of the beginning of , and the next three could pass for Lord of the Rings. Seriously. This image alone describes that. They were terrible. In April of last year, I decided to redo them and give them some more relevance to the redone overall plot. They're still not perfect, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

I'll most likely be redoing everything after those until #17 as well. Dular, now a major character in the series, doesn't reappear until #12. #5-6 were, again, retellings of scenes from The Phantom Menace. #7: Dooku's Transition showed Dooku's fall, which would be fine, but I'm retconning that with Star Wars: Path of Darkness. That leaves room for three additional chapters, and because of how the Nockudumey have developed, I'll have to redo #8-9, which were about Nockudumey skirmishes with the Republic Peace Keepers. #10 was another terrible retelling of a Star Wars film, this time Attack of the Clones. There's nothing really bad about #11: War On Geonosis, IMO, except that it needed more from the main TDL characters.


 * 1) 12-16 (excluding #15, maybe) were mostly just filler.

In the current redone basic plots (spoilers follow), #5 shows what Tarisian and Raymus (whose homeworld may not be Naboo) Drewton have been doing on Naboo since the Siege of Dantooine. Tarisian has joined the Naboo Security force, and the public expects Raymus to attempt to join the Senate, following his assassinated father, Drazil Drewton. In #6, they both join the Republic Peace Keepers and deal with a minor dispute(s). #7-10 will be conflicts with the Nockudumey, who, at first, are led by Kazdan Zahn, not Bodotor Thuvat.

There's a large amount of time between #16 and #17. The former is four months into the war, the latter is one year. That will probably change somewhat when the first Clone Wars chapters are redone, but there will still be a fair amount of time, which will be filled in with another story arc (chapters in it will not be counted in the main list of chapters for TDL) and the webseries Star Wars: Battlefront.

Battlefront will usually use footage from the game of the same name, using freecam. The first episode, Defense of a Senator, is nearly complete. This is what I currently have planned:
 * Defense of a Senator - Defending the.
 * Holdout on Tatooine
 * Rhen Var Assault
 * Above the Battlefield - Include further reasons for Raymus Drewton's promotion to.
 * Siege of Dantooine - A non-CW episode which shows the Siege of Dantooine using KOTOR 2 and Jedi Academy.
 * Cloud City - The battle being commanded by Dular.
 * Battle for Adni-Rahn - Based on the upcoming #23-#24.
 * Darkness on Mygeeto - The battle being commanded by Idnum-Ki.
 * Stoic's Joke - A non-CW episode showing a battle of the Mandalorian Crusaders with Daklif Ordo.

I'm not sure when these and the redos will be done, because I don't want to have large delays with the main ongoing story of The Drewton Legacy. #1-4 delayed the current chapters quite a bit, and if I started on all twelve redos now, I'd be done the Clone Wars by about 2012 or 2013 (which isn't desirable). If I go on without any redos right now, I'll probably be down the Clone Wars (with the main TDL storyline, not including the extra story arc and Battlefront) in exactly one year unless if I can suddenly start making more progress than usual.

To update on Darth Haagen: Heir to the Sith, I have redone the first chapter and I plan to release it all as one novel rather than chapter by chapter when each is finished.

Bah, thinking of all this is giving me a headache. :P
