We were creating a disorganized mess that did not adhere to my vision for the project when I pitched it, which was, "[to] develop something new, a second Star Wars saga, that could take place in the time following Legacy…centuries after; the galaxy has become a new place, and there are new heroes and villains who engage in a new conflict that have no ties in any way, shape, or form to any pre-existing Star Wars media. Everything we came up with would be our own; the Star Wars franchise as it is now would not tie us down. It's happening all over Hollywood: old movie franchises are being rebooted with no ties to their original versions (such as Jurassic World and Terminator Genisys)."

I wanted to stop things before they got to chaotic and bring this back to what it is meant to be. It is sometimes necessary to do that on a project, even if it is collaborative, for the project's sake. Oftentimes, things go through multiple versions before they reach their final, published forms.

Now, we're going to proceed in a more organized fashion, with idea pages for each user where concepts can be critiqued and polished, rather than going off to create articles as soon as an idea is had (in a futile attempt to try to fit everything in later). You might say, "Then why do you still have all of your pages?" This is because we need some core things to work around; this is what we can flesh out and such in our idea pages. The end result of this project, ultimately, is going to be something that calls back to the Star Wars saga as it is now, but ultimately ignores or moves away from its source to be its own "semi-franchise."
