Bursas are carnivorous quadrupeds native to the planet Naboo. Bursas have tusked snouts and feathery tufts of hair on their thick-skinned bodies, and are known to build and live in mud huts in the planet's swamps.Bursas were thought to have pre-dated even the Gungan race on Naboo, and early Gungans were attacked by wild bursas while exploring their world. Such behavior was not uncommon in the bursas, who were known to mercilessly destroy Gungan settlements.

Shouldn't this entry read:

I think that you really need to think about it more.  You no longer need to work to earn money or collect food.  There are (almost) no other people you need to put up with... the world is your oyster!  Where do you live?  What building and in what city?  Do you go on a looting spree?  If so, for what and where?  What things can't/won't you do now that you totally would if the entire population of the Earth (minus 3) disappeared!? 

I sense C3PX has good answers, but since he's keeping open the possibility of this actually happening to him... he's afraid to show hand.

There are some posts/threads that I found around the site that don't need to be moved here, but otherwise have good ideas that you might want to consider.

And is he actually going to try to RP as Han Solo? Because that's a tall order. At least you've created your own version of Ric that you have a full grasp on. If "Han" does anything out of character, you can jump all over him saying "Han wouldn't do that".

It's just weird to me.

The best part: If he shoots first: call him on it.  If he doesn't shoot first: call him on it.

Where can you see a list of all the members?

AND WHAT THE FRINK, MAN?  You changed your Bio?  Now mine doesn't make any karking sense!

____________________________________________

Name: Moff Panaka
Race: Naboobian
Age: 29
Faction: Imperial Remnant
Occupation: Hunting Down that Traitorous Nogoodnik Olie
Weapons: Pointy Space Hat, Common Space Sense, Killerer Looks than Olie
Weapon Proficiencys: Awesome Level 5
Equipment: Pistol, grappling hook and abs set to 'stun'
Ship(s): Star Destroyer "The Handsome Throne"
History: I was the head of the Royal Naboo Security Forces before, during, and after the Invasion of Naboo alongside my former friend and ally: Ric Olie. When the Empire was just getting started, Olie and I competed in the "Naboo Handsome Devil Revue". I won the Top Prize which was to become the Moff for the Chommell Sector. Olie was furious and our friendship and trust was broken as he swore to bring me down and destroy everything I stood for (and become an underwear model). I ignored him until he, through extension, killed Emperor Palpatine by finding and training Anakin Skywalker. Since that day, I have dedicated all Imperial Resources under my control to find the Traitor and bring him to justice.

RP Example:
I had him! The Naboobian Swamp Slug was twisting in his stomach, making it even harder for Olie's poor brain to function. But he would recall that there would be only one way to cure the pain... and that would lead him to my trap here on Alpha Ceti 5. I had just landed in my shuttle, when I heard the whine of Olie's ship landing just over the hill. The time to exact my revenge and bring him to justice was finally at hand! At my signal, Commander Tyke-o released the MegaTigers we had collected from Frokturia. Yes, this day would see the end of Ric Olie. All there was to do now was wait. Wait, and eat. "Tyke-o!" I called. "Sir?" he replied. "Bring me some cakes." "Sir!" he replied and ran off to bring me my second favourite snack. The first being chilled REVENGE!"

Prequel Rewriters - Questions to think about
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/413753/action/topic#413753
Time

I started compiling a list that I thought we could work on together of basically the questions you must answer before you can start on a prequel rewrite.  My thought is to keep this thread as the summary of the questions (and stickied, probably) and then individual questions can be discussed and argued in individual threads.

Here are the questions I've come up with... please feel free to add other questions.  I'll be adding others as I think of them too.

The Setting
    The War
        Are you focusing on the Clone Wars?
            YES:
                Who are the Clones?
                How does the War pertain to them?
                What about the Clone Wars would cause Obi-Wan to refer to them as an "idealistic crusade"?  What were the ideals?  How was it a crusade?
                How does Cloning become irrelevant by the start of Episode 4?
                How is cloning limited to the point that the whole story doesn't get consumed by the idea of clones replacing major players?
            NO:
                What is the "war" setting for your story?  Yes, there has to be a war... it's called Star Wars.
                What/when are the Clone Wars if you are ignoring them in your story?  How do you validate Leia and Ben's claim that he and Luke's father fought in the Clone Wars for Bail Organa?
        Is the War 'Symmetrical' (i.e. WWII) or is it 'Asymmetrical' (i.e. Iraq War or the OT Empire vs Rebellion)
            If Symmetrical:
                How does War work exactly?  How does hyperspace affect a galaxy wide war?
                Does your story feature "soldiers"?  Who are they?  Are the main characters soldiers in the War?  Leia's and Ben's comments seem to indicate that they were.
                Who are the armies?  Does the Republic have its own army, or do each of the independent planets have their own armies?  Who is the enemy large enough that this is a full scale war?
            If Asymmetrical:
                Who is the larger force?
        What are the objectives of both sides in the War?  What are they fighting over?
        When did/does the War start?
        How does the War end?
 
Continiuity to the OT:
    Do you show Obi-Wan receiving training from Yoda?
    Do you show Anakin receiving training from Obi-Wan?
 
    Are Obi-Wan and Anakin friends?  When do they have the chance to establish this friendship
    
    How many years before Episode 4 does your story take place and how old are the main characters?
        If Luke/Leia's mom is pregnant at any time in your stories, then that must be within 18 years of the beginning of Episode 4.
    How will you handle the surprises in the OT?  Will you set out to protect them from a chronological viewer?  Or will you show them happen?
        Will you show Yoda?
        Will you show that Luke has a twin sister?  Named Leia?
        Will you reveal that Anakin becomes Darth Vader?   
            If not, how will you protect this surprise?  It must be some way that when the viewer sees Darth Vader in ANH, that he doesn't assume or even begin to wonder if that is Anakin under there.
            Will you employ the "Other Apprentice" ruse?  That suggests that Obi-Wan had an apprentice named Darth Vader that turned to the Dark Side and killed Anakin?
 
  Will you have surprises in your new PT?  Will it affect anything that we thought we already knew in the OT?  Be careful, you will most likely just tick people off, unless it is done EXTREMELY well.
  How does the Jedi/Dark Jedi/Sith conflict play into the back story of the War, if at all?
    If it doesn't, then how does Anakin end up falling to the Dark Side and becoming Dark Lord of the Sith?
    If it does, then how does the Galaxy allow for a Dark Jedi/Sith/Palpatine to be left in charge of the Empire when all is said and done?
    How many Jedi are we talking about here?  A handful like the OT?  Two-three handfuls like the GPT?  Or a lot a lot?
    How many Dark Jedi/Sith?  Please say not 2 per movie.
    What kind of powers do the Jedi/Dark Jedi/Sith have beyond those seen in the OT? 
    What is the Galaxy's general response to Jedi?  Are they all assumed to be heroes?  Or are people more like Han where they think that it's all religious nonsense?
    How do your Jedi dress?  (Please say it's not in "I'm disguised as a hermit" robes.)
    How organized are the Jedi?  Are they like a police force in space (like the Green Lantern Corps?) or are they more like wizards that are off doing their own thing and maybe have some form or correspondance or a council every now and then?  Or something less than that?
Where does the Empire come from?  From within the crumbling Republic or without?  If from within, are the forces that cause the crumbling also responsible for the War and are they manipulating to create an Empire as in George's PT?
 
How do the droids fit in to your new story, if at all?
    Probably shouldn't have strong connections to Anakin or Obi-Wan (i.e. The "main characters")
 
How is Anakin seduced by the Dark Side?  What convinces him to serve the Emperor, the Empire and the Dark Side for 20+ years before allowing Luke to show him the error of his ways.
Who is the main protagonist in your films?  Luke is clearly the main protagonist in the OT.  In my opinion, the gPT has problems because the protagonist changed with the movie billing: E1 - QuiGonn Jinn, E2 - Obi-Wan Kenobi, E3 - Anakin.
- I clearly think that Anakin should be the main protagonist as a point of comparison that Luke is the protagonist of the OT.  However, I am running into trouble, probably the same way George did, because I have Obi-Wan finding Anakin.  In the OT, Luke finds Obi-Wan.  This right off the bat seems to set up Obi-Wan as the character making choices, making things happen, driving the story... AKA the Protagonist.

I'm a woman so, in response to #1 it depends on what my goals are repopulation or, just surviving 'till the death of the last of us.

#1 if repopulation Hm, Christian Bale and, a good guy Doctor.

#1 if just surviving My mom and, sister.

So... what are your goals?  I mean, they are your goals.  Are you interested in repopulating the planet with Mr. Bale or did you just want to be selfish and go on a window smashing shopping spree with your girls?

#2 I'de probably just get stuck with two other people in China or something. Or, worse get stuck with that guy that married a pillow and, that guy that married that Love Plus game character.

#3 If in scenario #1 repropulation lots of sex would happen. Since we got a doctor to tell us the safe amount of certain drugs. There'd probably be a lot of that going on too.

Wait... so you have the whole world to yourself.  You're free to do anything you like and you choose 'lots of sex and illicit drugs"?  You chose a doctor to be with you, and I thought: yeah, that makes a lot of sense.... probably someone you can't live without and he's going to come in really handy once those babies need someone to deliver them!  But you, if I understand you correctly, just want him to make sure you don't OD?

(I'm smiling as I type this, I quite enjoyed your answers even if I am struggling to understand them.)


If scenario #1 just surviving. Have fun with my family 'till we die.

If scenario #2 just hunt and, gather. It'd suck though since I'de have to do everything myself. Oh, well at least there'd be plenty of canned goods to last a while.

I think the canned goods are key.  I think there are more canned goods than the three of you could consume in a lifetime within a 5 square mile suburban area.

Yes, I noticed my misspaelling of horde carried over into several other posts.

Okay, so I did mention a "potential demon-zombie horde/hoard".  I didn't say there would be one, I just wanted to know if you had considered to possibility.  I mean, you don't know that there wouldn't be one.

YOU NEVER EXPECT THE possible demon-zombie horde INQUISITITION!
