It seems to me here are the next logical steps.

1. We need a bitchin logo. Projects aint nuttin' till they gots a logo.

Can anyone make something like this

for The Phantom Menace? Maybe with Amidala's ship, or a podracer?

2.We need to contact this Chris Elroy dude. At the very least his scripts are a great jumping off point. Well written, a bit wordy IMHO, . But very good.

3. We need a dramaturge. Someone with mad EU skillz, who can dig through the pile and find those bits of gold, moments, facts, characters, history that will add to TPM, especially from the pre-existing retellings of TPM across different media. Make a dumping ground for useful bits, possibly also a google doc.

4. Find if anyone has this book.
