Outbound, thanks! And that is an interesting idea! You, or someone who picks up that book, could maybe report back and see if it has a format that an edit like that could use as an outline.
It’s one of those things that creates more questions than answers but in a good way.
Exactly! It is hard to explain, but that’s basically what I was thinking too.
One idea I had a while back for generating mystery was labeling every film as part of the 34th saga in the opening crawl. Makes you feel like you’re seeing but a fraction of this wide universe, and makes you wonder what other grand tales there are to tell in it.
That is an interesting idea! It makes me think how an early draft of Star Wars referred to it as Saga I, the Star Wars. You basically could add that to the opening crawl like: Star Wars. the 34th Saga. Episode IV.
