Perhaps whomever suggests an idea could oversee the production. Essentially “do so and so a favor” month.
Glad this is being brought back! I definitely see some merit in going back through the Skywalker Saga with fresh eyes now that the Sequel Trilogy is done. I could see some slower months covering big picture stuff that is mostly discussion, where other months could be executing smaller ideas that could actually be used in edits. It might be a good idea to go back through old threads and see what were some common ideas that were never really made.
I think both of these just about nail it. I don’t want this to be ‘EddieDean’s project’ (hell, I’ve already got a huge project in the Clone Wars Refocused); I want it to belong to the community. We’ll start with movies, and those threads where I’ll do a lot of homework up front can be the backbone, but then we can spin off to focus on whatever ideas and projects the community want to collectively pick up.
Since there seems to be good interest, perhaps I’ll launch the first one soon. I think chronological order is a sensible approach for a few reasons, so Phantom Menace would be the first one.
As there have been no strong opinions on doing a ‘franchise overview’ first, perhaps we’ll just use this thread as the project index, franchise overview, and meta-commentary on how we conduct this collaboration, and it can just stay passively active in parallel as the central resource.
I’ve got more prep to do on the Phantom Menace OP, and I’ve not slept well as I had to chase my escaped trampoline down the street in a storm in the middle of the night, but unless anyone has anything specific to add regarding the approach I might just launch it when it’s ready. We can always revise the approach as we go.
