Idea: Star Wars Prequel comic book?

I’m not sure this belongs here, and if it doesn’t, please tell me where to go.

Look, I really want to do this. There is a guy doing this already but is taking his time, but my thought is, why not have other comics, just like we have tons of prequels edits.

We had a group that wanted to do an animated prequel trilogy, but perhaps that’s a bit too complicated.

I think at this point, this is our best bet to get a proper prequel trilogy. I don’t mind writing it, but I need someone who can draw.

So, I guess at this point that’s my question. Anyone know how to draw? Hit me up. I’m really itching to do this!

I do have my answer to this question,

Star Wars belongs to the Fox and to Lucasfilm. Anything you will do with it don't BELONGS to you. I'm not saying everything you'll create will belong to you if you can sell it, but  TODAY your own ideas are more, so much more important than anyone else's ones. THAT really belongs to you.

Writting and drawing are  time consuming and need a right motivation to be pursued until final shape.

Don't mistake, I'd have dreamt to do something like this, but do the best stories achieved with Star Wars ? Certainly not.  Star Wars have a depth and a simplicity most of the followers - and Lucas himself- have lost, and that's just why nobody really did better in the kind.

Just my two cents, but really, if you are good at writting, please just write something new, even if you're very inspired by Star Wars.

Besides, as you certainly know, GL wouldn't have been able to make a so good story of his own but thanks to Joseph Campbell and his knowledge of myths and archetypes. Here's a great source about this: http://www.moongadget.com/origins/myth.html

PS: Yeah, I know we're on a Star Wars site, but really: please save your skills and make us dream with your own world and your own characters.

^Or just ignore ABC and do what you want. :p

Of course, you can do that to.

You know Frink, for a time your "Thread is now about..." was about a specific subject where I saw perhaps 3 images of a creation I was involved in, and probably saw one of "my" creations in there. I smiled and didn't say anything for two reasons: 1) of course to remain "anonymous", 2) simply because such creations justly don't belong to me anymore!

Star Wars is sure a solid rock for creation, but it would be *imho* a mistake to use GL's material to tell a better story of Anakin Skywalker.

... How a young skilled pilot, or whatever he is, met an apprentice of a magical discipline, and how he turned wrong and betrayed his friends, or a spiritual order... That, you really don't need GL's stuff to tell it, and certainly not paste the name of Star Wars on it.

Would love to know what those were...
