This damn thing is back alive.

I'm going to be laid up for a while, so I decided to give this a go solo. I'm pretty pleased with the writing I did and would like to see it realized. 

So I'm producing the entire thing on my own, including playing all of the parts. Once I've got a well produced, music, SoundFX and everything "All Boost" cast production of the first three episode arc, I'll get others who can do things like act.

I'd like to use this thread as a sounding board, and ask for the occasional suggestion as I put this thing together.

For example, my long suffering hero needs a catch phrase, something that he says when things go wrong, especially when he already knew it was going to.

Here are various ones I've tried

  • "Why me?"
  • "Oh f**k me in the ear!"
  • "This is going poorly" (comic understatement?)
  • "I had a bad feeling about this."
  • "I didn't have to do this. I coulda been a (insert job here)"

 

I'm also looking for a version of the main Star Wars theme (crawl music) that's perfectly good, but slightly different, just enough to make it clear I'm not using the regular main theme... kind of an audio cue that this story might be a bit unusual for Star Wars.

I know that the guys at How It Should Have Ended did a small alternate theme for Star Wars, though I don't know if you could call it good...

  • "Now my failure is complete."
  • "And he was just two days from retirement!"
  • "It's my father's midichlorians."
  • "Were in deep Sith."
  • "I love it when a plan falls apart."
  • "I'm just keeping the Jawas in business."
  • "For the record, I did say so before."
  • "Well that's pitiful. Pitiful! That's exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to be." (Silent Running line)
  • "You know, I could have had a good destiny."
  • "Didn't need the Force to see that coming."
