Forum:Project storyline

Star Wars Fanon &gt; Project Force Wars &gt; 

So the first thing we're going to want to do is develop the storyline for the project. To do that, I think we need to do the following things in this order:


 * 1) Develop Tython. Since this war was fought just on Tython (as far as we know), we're going to need to flesh that out and really detail this planet beyond the minimal amount of canon information there is on the world. We need this to maintain consistency as well. I suggest this be our first featured article too.
 * 2) Develop the backstory. We need to come up with the information about those first people coming to Tython and the eventual seduction of many of them to the dark side.
 * 3) Determine the groups (the amount of groups/factions needs to remain small, IMO) that are on Tython and that will eventually participate in the war.
 * 4) Develop the beliefs of these organizations. They can't be Jedi and Sith carbon copies, IMO.

Once we know that stuff, we can begin work on the actual war. It's going to be a bit of work to get that point, though. Strap yourselves in! It'll be a fun ride! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:35, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

1. Tython
As mentioned above, let's start the discussion with. What we know from canon is. In that article, what's in the Pre-Republic history, as well as parts of the infobox, apply. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:48, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * The planet seems very Earth-like and so I believe the best course of action would be to make it appear as rural as possible. A vast contrast to the Rise of the Empire era Coruscant, which is one big city. This would help create the strong Force resonance associated with the system and develop the Jedi mindset. The planet should have plains, swamps, grasslands, and forests (anything that harbors vast amounts of life), and devoid volcanos, deserts, and drought. -- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 06:58, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * In relation to the above statement, copious amounts of flora and fauna should be present. Particularly smaller, less-harmful life-forms. This would keep sentient beings safe, particularly if there were very few large predators, and Force-users would likely be using their powers to experiment and alter the growth and physiology of these small forms of life. Obviously, the ability to alter life could be a point of contention between the eventual followers of Ashla and Bogan. Large cities/monasteries should center around rivers, or some body of water, so that things like transportation, farming, and fishing are as simple as possible. All beings should start rather sheltered and close-together, and as the war progresses, should spread out across the various other continents and whatnot. &mdash;  JM ' 76 ' Droid IRC [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|16px|link=:Category:Articles by Jedi Master 76]] 07:05, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

When we say large cities, though, we don’t want anything too big. After all, there’s not going to be a huge amount of these early priests, philosophers, etc. They’d probably number in the thousands, so large cities - such as Manhattan sized - wouldn’t really be around, IMO. I agree with the rest of what you said, though. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:20, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything about the cities should be made naturally, this would keep the population and city size down as well as slowly descrease the number of fauna species on the planet. (Not many native animal species from Tython) -- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 07:31, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think these people would do something that would endanger species to the point that the numbers of said species started to decrease, considering the people pre-Jedi and would likely still value all life. Besides, even if canon doesn't have a lot of fauna listed doesn't mean we can't create a bunch of our own. We're forcing ourselves to follow what's already canon, but in doing so we can still expand upon it so long as nothing is contradicted. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, but in later discussions concerning the split in ideals, this could become a strong cause for the Ashla to fight the Bogan. The Bogan would want to expand despite the endangerment of animals, and the Ashla would defend the fauna and flora native to the system.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 07:39, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

True, but right now we want to concern ourselves with the planet, I think, before it was really colonized or anything. We need to develop the planet itself, not its history. Good idea, though. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
