What's The Story?

What's The Story? is an exclusive feature on the Star Wars fanclub website, Star Wars Hyperspace. It gives Hyperspace members a chance to leave their mark on the Star Wars expanded universe by allowing them to provide the backstory for certain aspects of the saga; usually obscure background characters from the films. Winning entries become official Star Wars lore: published in the Databank and added to the Holocron continuity database. This feature was launched June 24, 2005.

The process

 * Each Friday, the submission form is updated presenting a new subject for fans to write about. Entries must be based on the information and criteria given, and must all be under 2000 characters in length.
 * Every submission received is read by a panel of judges, with the best marked as finalists. Pablo Hidalgo then selects the best entry, or merges some entries and edits them into the final product. The Databank is updated with six successful entries at a time.
