On a different note...

 

"The galaxy is divided. Several thousand star systems have seceded from, and declared their intentions to overthrow, the Republic." ...

what does seceded mean? not sure if its in the original crawl or not but i hate that word...:(

The galaxy is divided. Several thousand star systems have declared their intentions to overthrow the Republic.

The galaxy is divided. Several thousand star systems have withdrawn from the Republic and declared their:

rebellious intentions to undermine it.

Intentions to overthrow it

Intentions to destroy it.

or something.....

 

Not to knock what you've done Brash!

This is actually the line I struggled with most in writing the crawl as it sounds a bit clunky. It's still a work in progress and a loooong way to being finalised, but seceded means to seperate from.

My reasoning was so that it would be clear that they were part of the republic previously.

I'll probably remove the "seceded from and" so that it just reads "several thousand star systems have declared their intentions to overthrow the republic"

 

SSWR: I like what you've done with that video. I'm surprised I haven't seen it before. I like how you've transitioned straight from one love scene to another :)

I'll have a look at what I can do to improve the scene. That is if I'm even keeping it...
