Hello there. If you're reading this then, congrats you've found my database of knowledge on my personal star wars project, the Alternate Star Wars. As you've probably already seen, the archives are incomplete. But if you will allow me, I will give you the run down on my project and how it came to be.

On December 16th 2017, The Last Jedi was released in cinemas worldwide. We felt a great disturbance in the fanbase, as if suddenly millions of voices cried out in polarisation and were never silenced. The debate over the Last Jedi is still ongoing and will likely never end. Me, personally, I enjoyed the film on the first go. However, multiple rewatches later led me to realise that the film was extremely flawed beyond defending. I already had issues with how Disney was treating the franchise but this film tipped myself and millions of other people over the edge. We've seen how Disney has treated our beloved franchise and we are sick of it. So, upon my frustration with the corrupt business practices performed by Lucasfilm and Disney, I set out to look for other stories to read: the original expanded universe.

While I was thoroughly pleased with much of the content in Legends, it was all just too big, especially for someone who only recently read through the Darth Bane trilogy. The ridiculous amount of content in Legends was just too much for someone like me who didn't grow up with Revan or Satele or Malgus or Thrawn. More than 20 years of stories is just too much to catch up on. Upon reading Darth Plagueis (2012) and Path of Destruction (2006), I became fascinated with the story but still completely overwhelmed by the plethora of content I had to read in order to completely understand the story.

So, upon entering my first year at university, I was presented with an idea by my friend Scott, who I had told about my desires to direct a fan film. He suggested that in order for me to fit all the lore and description I had told him into a cohesive story, he suggested that I write a novel instead.

Now due to Disney's incredibly excessing copyright rules, I will not be able to publish my works on paper or even as E-books so, I will be publishing all of my work on this website for one, cohesive story thread with wiki-style articles accompanying it. It's a big galaxy so there's a lot of lore to keep on top of.

Think of this situation like how Lucasfilm were in 2014. The EU was gone and they had a clean slate to work with. The only difference between their situation and our situation, however, is that they wasted their opportunity. They glorified their corporate overlords in Disney and EA and blew their chance (sorry Charles Soule, I love your Vader comics). What Disney failed to understand about Star Wars fans is that we are prosumers; we produce content as well as consume it. Whether it's through Lego stop motion videos on youtube or low budget fan films such as The Way to Shadow (awesome film by the way), we fans make content for star wars as well as consuming it. It's time we brought that creativity to the surface and created an entire alternate universe of our beloved Star Wars made entirely by fans. The only foundation we will work off of are the six original films and the Clone Wars tv series. Everything else is free game for us to explore.

I am interested in getting in contact with other writers or filmmakers who wish to contribute to this new expanded universe. If you see this and wish to contribute some official content please message me on my facebook that is linked in my profile above.

May the Force Be With you, fellow ForceHeads. Let's make Star Wars great again.
