Right, that's what I was thinking. I just don't know what the specifics of all that would/could be. How would the characters meet up? What is the battle at the end of the first film? That sort of thing is what I bat endlessly around inside my head until I get so frustrated I just want to leave the Wiki.

Ultimately, there are aspects of each Star Wars film I want to capture with ours. I just don't want to be so formulaic that we're cliché. For example, I had read that Darth Krayt once tried to build a super weapon, so I once thought that the fourth film could focus on its destruction…but that is too similar to the plot of Episode IV for me. The fact that the Legacy era had so many "seconds" in it (another Jedi Purge, another Galactic Civil War, and so on) tempts me too much to just copy what has already been done. But I don't want to do that. I want to get back to when you and I were being creative and checking each others' ideas for potential plot holes. I want to bring the fun back into this.

As things are right now, I'm having difficulty figuring out where (or even if) I can place all the characters I created for this project and how they can all be relevant/included. Sure, some things get cut, but I'd rather not cut them, if possible. There are some things from the concept art I got the images of my characters from that we could use to spark our imaginations:
 * Artwork of a Black Sun fortress
 * Artwork of a lava planet (not Mustafar)
 * Artwork of a jungle planet
 * Artwork of a secret Sith base amidst an asteroid belt
 * Artwork of a city on a dark ocean planet that is pulled by large, whale-like creatures

I am certain, no matter where we go from here, that by the time the first film starts, we will be in the middle of the Second Galactic Civil War, just as we were in the middle of the first one in Episode IV. The third film will, like you said, show the massive team-up between everyone who opposes Darth Krayt to destroy him once and for all. We'd then have a big celebration following his defeat, similar to the one from Episode VI or Episode I.

We have a lot to figure out. Rather than talk about frustration, I want to get going on this before I give up on it. I want this to be fun again. For both of us, as I've enjoyed working with you!
