I really, really, really didn't like "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace." So I rewrote it. From scratch. The core of this site is the 17-page story outline that I came up with. It's the first chapter in a complete alternative Star Wars prequel trilogy. This is A Very Different Episode 1. Because... I really, really, really wanted to see some Great New Star Wars Movies. I was really looking forward to that. Sadly, tho', it's become obvious, since the events of the night of the 19th of May, 1999, that the only way to satisfy that desire is to write 'em myself. I wish it weren't so, but it is, and life is weird, so let's get on with it. For lack of a better name (for now), I'm calling this alternate version "The Phantom Menace - Redux." You can jump straight into it by clicking the "outline" link at the bottom of this page. Or you can ease into it by taking a look at a list of the 23 major differences between what Lucas wrote and what's on this site - just follow the "what's not here" link, also at the bottom of this page. If you're George Lucas, you can read a special personal memo for your eyes only, under the "memo to george" link. The "script" link doesn't lead to anything yet, but it could, in a few weeks - I'm thinking about possibly turning this outline into a full screenplay - just for kicks, because I'm strange, I've got some time, and because I really like this story, and because it's fun.
