I've spend hours and days and I finally got a wonderful idea. Instead of following the "Expended Universe" now known as "Legends", I decided to follow the canon stories.
The main reason is because if we follow the old stories, it won't be as interesting as the current one and likewise it will add confusion to the casual or non-Star Wars fans. At the same time, I decided to make this as a "standalone" like type of film. That means creating a new story, new characters and new planets that happen or exist but showcase a "history" brand or a myth to the Star Wars universe. Like what the director of Rogue One, Gareth Edward, said "If you too respectful of it that you didn't do any new or different or take a risk, then what are you bringing on the table?". That's why most fans or even first timers appreciate Rogue One because it's different but it's still Star Wars.
This is my new approach instead of doing the usual way because without making it different and brining something new, it's just a typical fan film with the same story, same characters, same lightsaber battles, etc. Why not making it different but still the same feel? This is also an opportunity for filmmakers like us to do some new within the universe we already know.
Are we going to see less lightsaber scenes? Mostly yes because I want people to understand the story of Star Wars that it's not just "a movie with lightsabers". There's more to it.
I started to write the draft story of it earlier and I might finish it before the end of the month or first week of February. The full production of it will start this August or July the earliest. Why? I want the pre-production to be well prepare rather than after deadlines. This will also give the production time to gather the props, the cast, the crew, the things we need.
Once the story treatment is done, I will begin the screenplay with Nica and possible with Alted which I'll be talking to him soon.
