I'm a writer and a Star Wars fan, but mainly the original trilogy (pre-Special Edition), though I've been consuming a lot of EU material ("Legends" I guess it's called now), particularly the first wave of 90's stuff (like the Thrawn Trilogy). I've also been reading the old Marvel comics.

I have a little pet project going, which is a spec script of a sort of rebooted Episode I, the point of which is to create a prequel trilogy that more closely lines up with the vision expressed in Lucas' original outing. Basically, I'm taking everything from the OT as canon, but also pulling bits and pieces from the EU, the prequels, and Lucas' early drafts of Star Wars (1977).

Though I'm not knowledgeable enough in Star Wars lore to contribute much to this wiki, Wookieepedia has proven to be an invaluable resource on this project so far. I'd like to write something new, but it is very important to me that it stay consistent with what has been established as the Star Wars universe, even if I end up drastically changing some generally accepted facts.

Ultimately, I would like this script to connect with either Episode VII (if possible) or the Thrawn Trilogy. Maybe if I'm really feeling clever it could connect to both.

I know that a fair number of people over the years have proposed similar projects. Most likely, the majority of these will not be completed for a long long time, if at all. I hope mine will be more than a pipe dream, as I would seriously like to use this script as a spec script in my portfolio.
