How to Free Roam in James Bond 007: Nightfire on PC

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Recently, I haven't actually posted anything on any of my blogs, so I thought I'd do something nice for this post. Recently, I've been collecting all sorts of games for my various timelines, and that includes LOADS including James Bond. Now most of you who know James Bond will probably know that in the early 2000's, EA acquired the rights to create video games based on the James Bond character. Some of them were cancelled and never released but that's an entirely different story for another post another time. Their first game which featured an entirely new storyline was one by the name of Agent Under Fire. It didn't use the likeness of Pierce Brosnan, the current James Bond at the time, but it was based on his version. The following year, a sequel called Nightfire was not only released on the same platforms as AUF, but also on PC. So, I've decided to bring up something that hasn't come up anytime that I've searched it: how to free roam in Nightfire. This may seem impossible. No James Bond games are free roam capable. Not one at all. But after looking through the game, I found out something very interesting, and it's all here:

1. Open up your Nightfire game. It should be called "Bond.exe".

2. Select the "Multiplayer" option below "Nightfire".

3. Change "Time Limit" from "10" to "0". This will give you unlimited time to roam.

4. Make sure that "Full server to 60% with bots" is NOT checked.

5. Choose which location you want to free roam in.

6. Press "Start".

7. From here, you can do so many things! Here are some examples:

For additional fun: If you want to play with your favourite characters from the movies or games, go back to the main screen or pause menu and select "Multiplayer" again. From here, select "Team Combat Training" or "Capture the Flag".

Make sure that "Fill server to 60% with bots" IS checked.

Change your time limit so you aren't going to be fighting or taking flags forever.

Choose any map you want. Capture the Flag has a few maps, like Romania, that aren't available in the other two modes.

Enjoy fighting and/or teaming up with your favourite characters from the James Bond universe!

Happy Birthday Chronicles of Humanity!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As you may know, there have been a lot of birthdays recently, and guess what? There's another! Today marks the 15TH ANNIVERSARY of Damien Valentine's CHRONICLES OF HUMANITY! Just some back info for those of you who don't know about this show: Chronicles of Humanity is a webseries that became idea somewhere around the time that Damien Valentine (a.k.a. Darth Angelus) had made the machinima remake of his 2002 Star Wars fan-film, Falling into Darkness. The series began with a short by the name of "The Titan Incident", and soon developed into a machinima webseries. It was "upgraded" in 2009 using the Moviestorm software, and another short, "Alone" was produced. In 2011, the first season was remade using Moviestorm, and two sequels, "Uprising" and "Renegades", were released. During 2015 and 2016, a fourth part, "Redemption", was released, finishing off the overall storyline and in 2017 a remastered version of "Alone" was produced. Now, on the 31st of October, 2020, Chronicles of Humanity celebrates its 15th anniversary! Yay! You can go to Damien Valentine's channel here to view all of his CoH, Star Wars and other videos/movies, including his amazing current Heir to the Empire adaptation. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Some New Timelines

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Today, there are two new places to explore on this blog: The Complete Timeline of Hero Factory and The Complete Timeline of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Here are the links to the former and latter. For those of you who don't know what either of these are, you can look at these wiki articles: HF / A:EMH. For Hero Factory, I've only done episodes 1-6 and 8-10 (episode 7's not online and episode 11 doesn't make much sense in this timeline) and for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I've only added the episodes from Volume 1 (except episode 5, which stupidly isn't on the edition of the DVD I have... *angry face*), but I'll soon add more and eventually the timelines will look something like this:

But for now, the timelines are kinda short, and they'll be updated gradually with comics, books and the works. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

K'ates nirvucihi Blogger!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! So, for any other bloggers out there who happen to use Blogger and know about Blogger, you (should) know that today is Blogger's 21ST BIRTHDAY! Woo hoo! It's all totally cool (Other than the fact that LiveJournal's birthday was just a few months back... I never knew I was using a rip-off...)! Anyhow, I just thought that I had to post a post posting about the posting thing I use to post posts. Yeah, happy birthday Blogger! And for those of you who are not fluent in the language of the Chiss, the posts title reads "Happy Birthday Blogger!" Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Errr! Late Update!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As the title suggests... It's a late update! Very late! So, I've been doing lots of stuff recently, mainly revolving around LEGO constraction. No, that does not mean me going and making Bionicle G3 at LEGO. What I mean is I've started watching Hero Factory and becoming a huge fan. Yay! This is pretty much what I've been doing related to Hero Factory:

[*LDDing = Designing stuff in the LEGO Digital Designer] Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing recently. I’ve also been planning a fan-fic, but that’s still just a plan right now. Anyway, this means I’ll be updating my Me Across the Net page right after this, and a whole bunch of other things. However, this isn’t all I’ve been doing, even though that’s a lot of what I’ve been doing. So, if you have been reading my previous posts, you’ll know CMRO, and if you don’t, just search CMRO on Google and it should be the first thing that comes up. Otherwise I do have an old post somewhere. CMRO’s a really cool website and there’s all sorts of checklists like Marvel, MCU, DC, Star Wars, Stark Trek, Law & Order and the list could keep going on. One of the members has made a translation of the infamous Doctor Strange Episode 0 manga, which supposedly made absolute no canonical MCU sense, but now that the translation’s out it makes a whole lot more sense. I’ll see if I can share the link soon. I’ve also got my hands on two other mangas (which sadly don’t have English translations), Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy: Galaxy Rush. Doctor Strange is all sorts of manga stories including Episode 0 that tie-in with the Doctor Strange movie and GotG: GR is just, well, weird. So that’s what I’ve been doing for the past month. Yeah. Well, there’s a lot of hyperlinks in the post so please look through them, as they go to loads of amazingly awesome sites. Now I’m seriously sounding like a YouTuber. “Just a shout-out to all those people who have helped me make this video, and don’t forget to click the like button, share this video with your friends and subscribe, and you’ll stand the chance to win a PlayStation 78EDR!” I hope my impersonation is realistic enough. I’ll be making a post about some of these cool sites soon, so keep on, uh, looking... I should really try and rephrase that... Well, that’s a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Another Birthday!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As I have been hinting at in previous posts, it is this blog's FIRST BIRTHDAY! Yay! Yub nub! Yub nub, eee chop yub nub; Ah toe mee toe pee chee keene; G'noop dock fling oh ah! So, I don't have anything much, but I made a small little poster:

Yes, I am Vader's Sith Master in an alternate reality in which Vader gives people birthday cakes. Oh, and yes, that sadly means that I will be killed by Vader in this reality. Kinda sad. Anyway, it's my blog's birthday. Yay again! Nothing big, but it's been a year, so that's great. My gift to any readers: go here! I didn't make anything on it, but it's a page on the Biomedia Project with LOADS of amazing stuff to look through. Plus, there's a whole section for LEGO, with games, comics, and much more. So, that's that and yeah. Well, that's a wrap on THE BIRTHDAY OF THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Late Birthday Gifts to Myself!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As I covered in a recent post, it was my birthday on the 23rd of May. Of course, COVID-19 came and then my birthday was a meh birthday. Sadly, during the COVID crisis many of my favourite places aren't doing that well, or have closed. Permanently. This includes my local DVD and games shop, so that's quite sad. Luckily, the DVD and games shop near my local comic shop is still open, so I went there and spent money on entertainment. First, I got Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season One on DVD. I have really been hoping to get this, and I finally did. I was blown away by it, and I am grasping tight to my wad of cash to spend on the next season of MAOS. Next on the list are Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. These are the last two films that I needed to complete my Phase One collection. I had already seen the Cap film (on an 8 o'clock film slot on TV) but Thor I haven't. Until about 20 minutes ago. So now my MCU Reading Order stats are fully complete for Phase One. Yay! Third are a few LEGO films. I love to collect LEGO-related things, even more than the sets themselves, i.e. comics, books, games and films. This lead me to buy LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League and LEGO Hero Factory: Rise of the Rookies. Both of these are amazing and have just as good DVD extras, the DC one including a look into the character of Bizarro, a TV special and an in-universe blooper reel to go along with the TV special, while the Hero Factory DVD includes a TV special based on LEGO's Atlantis sets. One more DVD left in my Hero Factory collection, three more in my LEGO DC collection. Finally, I also bought the DVD of Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales. Like LEGO, I love finding all things World of Cars. I have the DVDs for Cars, Cars 2, Planes, Planes: Fire and Rescue, and now Mater's Tall Tales. I also have recently found the LEGO Grand Prix game online (on a website called "BioMedia Project", which is dedicated to finding all things Bionicle-related. There's also a lot of LEGO stuff on there. I'll do a Fandom Favourites post on it soon.), and am trying to get the Cars comic books. Oh, I mustn't forget the other games. I have the Cars 2 game, Mater's Tall Tales game and the Planes game on PC. However, I hated Cars 3 and I always skip it. So yeah, those are my late birthday presents to myself. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Mention on Jedipedia!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! This morning, I did what I usually do. Check out my email, check for any notifications on the JCF (Jedi Council Forums) and CMRO (Complete Marvel Reading Order), and I saw that I had a reply to Hungarian Han Solo Novels in Translation!, which is one of my threads on the JCF. For a full list of my threads and other awesome TheForce.net stuff, go to "The Page of the Force" under the blog's title and description. This reply was from Go Rien Moss, who, for anyone who doesn't know, is the name of one of the characters in the unofficial Hungarian Han Solo novel series by Valhalla. It's also the name of one of the translators at work in translating the books into the English language. He (and another currently anonymous JCF user) are about half-way through one of the books. So anyway, back to the point. I saw that this was the latest thing that popped up:

If you go to the link Go Rien mentions at the beginning of his post, or are simply too lazy and would prefer me to hyperlink it here, you will find a German wiki article about Valhalla on Wookieepedia's German equivalent, Jedipedia. It's a pretty good article, actually, with a lot of info that doesn't even appear on Kaminopedia, Wookieepedia's Hungarian equivalent. This info includes mention of A Jedi hatalma ("The Power of the Jedi" by "Malcolm Webster") and the Imperial Blood/HFAF series. Anyway, when you scroll down to the weblinks and references sections you'll see this:

Yes, I know, first of all, the thread is mentioned a few times, but my blog is too! Some of the info used in the article and some of the external links are "auf dem Blog DarthFandom"! I'm pretty excited about this! This is probably the first time I've had my blog linked on an external site, least of all a GERMAN one! Yay yay yayey yay! Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

How to Read LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Comic Books Online

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! After yesterday's post, I decided that I'd make a more in-depth post of how to read LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Comic Books Online! If you have been looking at my blog quite frequently, you'll notice I haven't done a "How to" post since right at the beginning of this blog's history. Talking about this blog's history, in 24 days, The Sith Archives of Darth Fandom will be celebrating its first birthday! Yay! But now, to continue the post...

Above: Front (right) and back (left) covers of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes #1

1. In your browser, type lego.com/biassets/bi/.

2. Go to this link on BrickLink.

3. Note down all 7-digit codes associated with any LEGO Marvel Super Heroes comic books.

4. In your browser, add a code next to the lego.com link.

5. Hit enter.

From here, you can read any LEGO Marvel Super Heroes comics available with sets. You're even luckier if you have any of the sets associated with the comics. That way, you can continue the story. For ease of access, I will make a list of codes for the comics, but that's still underway. In the meantime, enjoy the comics, and remember, you can't get into legal trouble for reading pirated material, as it's ALL on LEGO's official website! Well, that's a wap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Birthdays, Books and [Can't Think of Anything Relevant Beginning With B]

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Okay, so I've been doing quite a bit lately. A lot of this has been towards my original work, i.e. writing up chapters of the Starport stories, but I've also been doing Star Wars (and other cool)-related stuff. First off, Fandom is on Fandom! Yay! You can find my Fandom profile on the Fandom Community Central here. The funny thing is, just after I joined, Tython Awakening asked if I'm affiliated with Fandom. I'm not surprised, because, um, well, Fandom's in the name. And yes. Darth Fandom is on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki! Go here to see what I've done so far. Right now, it's just a small page because I don't want to reveal too much until Chronicles of Telian Aieler comes out. Next off, I've been doing some LEGO stuff. I'm thinking of buying LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, so I thought I could get some material before I [might] get it. So, first thing that came to mind was the LEGO sets. Uh, yeah, sorry me but IT'S COVID, so no sets, but before I continue, guess what? I forgot to put a post on here on my birthday! My birthday! Well, my birthday was on the 23rd of May, like last year, and the year before, and the year before, and, well, all the times before. I'll try not to forget next year. So, I got a few pressies, so that's nice. To be precise, Star Wars: Legacy Volume II - Book 1-3, a small little Hot Wheels car, a very cool LEGO Iron Man Mech and a limited edition chocolate bar, because why not.

Anyway, back to LEGO, because my birthday is not as important. Maybe. Well, I couldn't get sets, so the next thing I thought was LEGO comics. I actually had three (you could say four, because one of them had two comics inside) in physical form, but it seems that I'm cursed, as after I bought them, LEGO Marvel comics ceased to exist. So, I began my quest the other day to find them online. So here's a little trick I found, which you can do too to get digital editions of the comics. Don't worry, it's legal since it goes through LEGO's official website. No piracy included. First, go to this link on BrickLink. Whenever there's a Marvel comic that appears and has a code beginning with the number 6 somewhere in brackets, make a not of it. Next, go onto your browser and type in "lego.com/biassets/bi/". Once you've typed this in, type in a code with ".pdf" after it and hit enter. Then, a PDF file of the comic you want to read will appear. From doing this, I've managed to get every LEGO Marvel comic that's appeared in a set (I say in a set because I haven't found any LEGO Club issues but two or any SDCC Exclusives), and I'm happy about that. I personally like comic #6037284 as it ends on a cliffhanger where ol' JJJ is covered in the Venom symbiote. What will happen exit? Ah, I dunno. I'm currently also trying the same with the DC Comic ones, but I haven't been too successful. Some comics aren't online. But I'll still keep trying.

So, I've covered quite a bit in this post. I'm quite happy about that. Now, before I go, are you a fan of Marvel Comics? Okay, well, are you also a fan of Deadpool? If so, I recommend reading the Deadpool #SecretComic. It's pretty cool. It covers all sorts of things, from Clea's affair with Benjamin Franklin to Deadpool massacring the Time Variance Authority to The Divorce of Deadpool #798, Marvel's first $99 comic book. Amazing. To read it go onto the Marvel Wiki and look at all variant covers from Deadpool (Vol.4) #1 up until Despicable Deadpool #296. Some issues don't have "Secret Comic Variant Cover"s but if they don't just go to the next issue. Another thing I just feel like saying is that Marvel's The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! is a pretty cool animated series. Sadly it was canned. Which means that there won't be a Season 3. Or a bigger plot around Galactus. Or him eating Hala. [Crying sounds] Well, sob, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Quick Update

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! I haven't updated recently, so I thought I would now. I've been quite busy on the CMRO (Complete Marvel Reading Order) Forums, and I haven't actually been blogging. However, before I start my post, I recommend you visit CMRO here. It's a really good site, and it's got all sorts of cool stuff. The main page is a reading order for all Marvel comic books, and there's also some extras, like forums, a Star Wars Reading Order, a DC Reading Order, an MCU Reading Order, a Law and Order Order, and it's just awesome. Anyway, I've been working on a bit of a Marvel thing myself, called "Marvel Studios: The Essential Guide to Comic Books." It's, well, an essential guide to the comic books of the MCU. Yes, I ripped off the title from the Star Wars: Essential Guide series, so don't get too annoyed with me. It's a piece of reference material for the MCU comics that's split into (at least for now) two parts: "Degrees of Canonicity" and "Phases of Comic Books". The 1st section explains how canon each comic is in the MCU and the 2nd explains the different phases (in the Infinity Saga) that each comics is in. Some other things include a piece called "It's All Connected" at the end which will explain the times that the MCU has been tied to different parts of the Marvel Multiverse etc. etc. Also, I've made a fake add called "Hungry Ewok". It is below:

Make sure you can speak Aurebesh, because it's ALL in Aurebesh. It was very simple to make. I used good old PowerPoint on Windows 7, made some animations in the text, added a few shapes, saved it as WMV, converted it to GIF and voila, there's a fake in-universe Star Wars ad. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

May the Fourth be With You!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! If you didn't already know (even though you should), it's MAY THE FOURTH TODAY! Yep, that's right, it's Star Wars Day, but sadly Star Wars Day cannot be celebrated in the best of ways due to the current COVID crisis. However, I myself (and hopefully everybody else) can still celebrate Star Wars Day. So, I've added a couple of things to the blog. Firstly, I've updated most of the pages. Just take a look at all of the buttons and there should be updates on MOST, not all, but MOST of them. Also, if you're a Star Wars fan, you might want to check out this link. It's my most recent thread on the Jedi Council Forums, and there's some cool info on there, even from JASON FRY himself! Have a good May the Fourth! Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Hungarian Star Wars Takes Over

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! If you've been looking through my various blogs for the past few days, you'll realise that I haven't been posting for a while. Well, I've recently created quite a popular topic on the Jedi Council Forums. You can find it here. It's all about the fake Hungarian Han Solo novels that I wrote about here. They are currently in translation by Joe Bongiorno, creator of the Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline, and on this thread it's pretty much all sorts of Valhalla-related stuff, including news about the books and some cool info. The link is also in the "Page of the Force," which can be found under the blog's title and description. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

More Updates Coming Atcha!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Yes, more updates. First of all, I'm officially launching the Starport Press blog. You can find it here. I'll no longer be posting any original work news and stuff on this blog, but I definitely will on my LiveJournal (to visit my LiveJournal, you can follow the LiveJournal link on the "Me Across the Net" page, click the LiveJournal logo on the sidebar, or just click here). I'll also be posting in-universe The Second Imperium Trilogy updates on the ISMF blog (to visit the ISMF blog, click the "ISMF Headquarters" button under the blog's title and description and follow the instructions). Something cool (I personally think) with the Starport blog is that if you click the "Visit the Forums" button, you can visit the new Starport Press forums. Yay! I've updated the Complete Timeline of Star Wars Legends, so if you click the Complete Timeline of Star Wars Legends button under the blog's title and description, you'll see that I've added the Indiana Jones quadrilogy and THX 1138. Both of these are some other classic George Lucas works, and if you're wondering how I added them, I'll tell you.

So if you're a Star Wars fan, you probably have heard of "Into the Great Unknown." If you haven't, it's a short comic that appeared in Star Wars Tales #19, and is the first OFFICIALLY-LICENSED comic/story to show Han Solo and Indiana Jones in the same universe. Han is fleeing from an Imperial fleet in orbit of the moon Hovan-99 and doesn't calculate jump coordinates, so he, Chewie and the Falcon land in a galaxy "No longer far away." Han asks Chewie to land the Falcon at the "blue one" and they crash exactly where the Endor scenes were filmed for Return. Han and Chewie go looking for any settlements but are attacked by Native Americans. Han dies, in the Falcon's cockpit (which is where he orders Chewie to put him), and references Vector Prime. Yep, the part where Chewie dies. The part that Dark Horse made into a comic series. RIP Chewie. Except this time it's Han that dies. 126 years later, Indy and teenager Shorty turn up, and they eventually find the Falcon and Han's dead body. They were actually looking for the Sasquatch, who is Chewie (yes, Chewie's still alive), but Indy says that they should just leave him and the Sasquatch as part of the great unknown.

How does this add the Indy movies and THX 1138 to my Star Wars timeline, you may ask? Well, thanks to some info on Wookieepedia, Haden Blackman said there was no exact date of the story, since it's an Infinities tale, but he said that the Indy segment takes place 7-8 years after Temple, and I just chose 7 years, so the Indy segment is 1942, and that means that the Han segment 126 years earlier must be 1816. Han says to Chewie that he thought it would be Chewie saving his kids (Vector Prime reference), and Han had his first kids in 9 ABY, so the most approximate date for the Han segment would be 9 ABY (in Star Wars time), meaning that the Indy segment would be 135 ABY. From here, I used this method to add the Indy movies to the timeline, and I thought that why not add THX 1138, pretending that it takes place in the same universe as the Indy films, because why not? It's Earth in the 25th century, plus it was referenced in the cancelled George Lucas' Monsters and Aliens trilogy by Robert J. Sawyer, so I'm just adding it. Note that the date is a weird and wonky plus-minus something or another. I worked this out knowing that the only date given for THX 1138 is the 25th century, so I used the Indy date method to work out when the 25th century would be. Hope you like the update. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

A Bit of an Update to the Blog(s)

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! The blog has officially been updated even more. First of all, I've updated the Interstellar Military Fleet blog, so if you click on the "ISMF Headquarters" button under the blog's title and description, just follow the instructions, and when you get to the ISMF main page, click on the button that says "News, and you can see my latest in-universe The Second Imperium Trilogy update. I've also added some stuff to the timeline buttons and "The Page of the Force" button in the past few days. You can go check them out by clicking on the different buttons under the blog's title and description. Another thing I've added is a link to my LiveJournal page. Yes, Blogger people, I just said LiveJournal. I do have a LiveJournal account, and for some strange reason, I hadn't actually linked it yet. My LiveJournal account is pretty much just overall updates, so whenever I do something new on any of my blogs, I'll just post it on my LiveJournal account. You can check out my LiveJournal account (darth_fandom) by clicking the big LiveJournal logo on the right-hand side of the blog. And my favourite bit is this: The Starport Press blog is almost ready to be launched. I've already put a post on there, and I've got a link to another really cool (in my opinion) Starport-related thing, which you will be able to see when you go onto the Starport blog. Other than that, the Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly Magazine is officially going to be launched on May the 1st, which means I'll probably launch the Starport blog just before that. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

A Bit of an Update to the Pages

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Just to put it out there, I have barely any data left, and I can't go out the shops and buy any when it runs out, so I have to be a bit cautious with my data usage. Anyway, I've still got enough left to post this and buy some more data online, so here's my update on the pages. The pages are the things under the blog title and description which aren't posts, they're just like other places as if this is a website. I've updated two of the pages: The Complete Timeline of Star Wars Legends and The Complete Timeline of the Darkness Saga. Both are still under construction and they both need some formatting help, but I'll still update them while making them look nice. I've added all pre-Bantam EU novels to the Legends timeline and I've added two more sections to the Darkness Saga timeline. The newest addition to the pages section is The Page of the Force, which is a page of stuff related to TheForce.Net. So far, I've only done a bit of a Jawa Force entry, but I'm definitely going to expand on it soon. And, as it's (not so) Good (due to the COVID-19 lockdown) Friday, don't you want to see the Easter bunny? Here's a picture of everyone's favourite Jaxxon by James Anderson, creator of the Bungo n' Rusti comics.

For more information on James Anderson's Bungo n' Rusti, go here, and for more information on his almost-created-but-not-due-to-StarWars.com Jaxxon sort-of-origin-story fan-comic, go here. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

And Then There's That COVID-19 Update

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Of course, this COVID-19 thing is really not good for any of us. A lot of bad things are happening to many people, so anyone who's reading this PLEASE STAY SAFE. Anyway, this lockdown is giving me a bit more time to write my stories, and I am hoping to release the first issues of Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly Magazine and Tintin Magazine this May. I've got a post over at Kih-Oskh right now with a bit about what's going to be in the Tintin Magazine, so go check it out here. I'm also starting another page on this blog with Jedi Council Forums-related stuff, and in a couple of days, it should be there. Another new thing is a Lostworlds document I'm working on, with info on all sorts of cancelled and unpublished Star Wars stories. If you want to look at some Lostworlds stuff, you can visit Joe Bongiorno's Lostworlds section on his Expanded Universe Timeline website here, and you can read my bit about him here. I've already put in some stuff for The Princess Leia and Han Solo Adventures, The Heart of the Jedi, the Jedi Prince Sequel Trilogy, The Courtship of Princess Leia Trilogy, Lightsider,  Legacy of Doom, George Lucas' Monsters and Aliens, Fairy Tales, the Shadows of the Empire Prequel, The Essential Guide to Episode I, The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide II - Siege and The New Jedi Order: Knightfall. There's still more to come, and that's only the novels section! And guess what? I pretty much spammed Kassel Labs' Star Wars Intro Creator with my crawls and Lostworlds crawls, and it says I can expect them in about 300 days, so that's good. The Underworld stories are also coming along really well. I'm actually going to use Vernost as the main location for the second story, so that's going to be cool. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Looking Back at The Scourge of the Nevoota Bee Trilogy

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Now, what day might it be, you ask? Well, of course, it’s April Fools, the day where the best stuff happens! Of course, I have to make an amazing post for this day, so I have chosen a theme which was partially created on April Fools: The Scourge of the Nevoota Bee. This is the classic trilogy where Palpatine is reborn as an insane Wookiee clone, but what is the story? Read on! One day, Tom Veitch, author of the acclaimed Dark Horse Comics series (and one of my faves) Dark Empire was looking around on the America Online boards when one man asked the question “What is that buzzing noise in the background of A New Hope?” The quite obvious answer to the many viewers of this board was that this was simply a bad copy of the film, but Veitch decided to stir things up. He responded by saying that it was the Nevoota Bee, and from there it all developed. Then it came, the April Fools prank that changed it all. Rich Handley sent out an email to all of his friends, saying that Dark Horse Comics had commissioned a fourth entry in the Dark Empire saga, a sequel to Empire’s End, where Palpatine, who had been defeated by a Jedi named Empatojayos Brand at the end of Empire’s End, is resurrected as an insane clone of Chewbacca. His name is Palbacca. It is but this final entry that fully began the Scourge of the Nevoota Bee: Mike Beidler, who is the creator of the online Star Wars Literature Compendium, decided that he was going to have a laugh at both Veitch and Handley. He decided that he was going to create The Scourge of the Nevoota Bee Trilogy, series of three novels published by Del Rey, A Braand New Hope, The Empire Stangs Back and Return of the Yeti, along with a 50-part comic series (weekly from Dark Horse Comics, April 1 2000-March 10 2001) and an audiobook/dramatization series (Highbridge Audio). It is from this information that I have recreated the story and included new information that will change everything. One of my earlier pieces related to the Scourge storyline was my “synopsis” which can be found here. I took the information I had and tried to recreate the story and what you read is how it came out. Note that characters like King Ikemberidel (rearrange the letters and see what you get) and certain events were just created by me and are not part of the original jokes. Next, I have begun playing around with the history of the Nevoota, and so far I have already begun progressing. I have a bit of information about the Nevoota Extinction from a datacron in The Old Republic and I am hopefully soon going to post a bit. So far, this is what I have: Sometime before the Old Sith Wars, a group of Mandalorian Crusaders arrive at the planet Nevoota in the Balmorra system. The Mandalorians engage in battle with the native insectoid Nevoota, who pose a challenge against their enemy. The Nevoota fight a four-year campaign under the warlord Ithcharaka, but finally the Mandalorians hunt the Nevoota to their extinction. Somehow though, another swarm of Nevoota are still alive and begin watching over the galaxy from the Galactic Core for thousands of years, progressing every day, until, eleven years after the Battle of Yavin, they finally decide to strike. And then that’s where the original idea comes in. Well, if you have any questions, please comment on this post or email me at darth.fandom@gmail.com. Well, that’s a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Fandom Favourites, Part 3: D'Israeli

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! If you are a long-time fan of my blog (which I highly doubt) or somebody who’s just randomly seen every post I’ve ever made, you’ll probably know Fandom Favourites. Well, if you don’t, Fandom Favourites is just me saying “Hey! This is some guy that I think makes some pretty cool stuff!” and then writing a post about them. I have one about Joe Bongiorno, creator of The Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline website, and one on Darth Angelus, creator of The Chronicles of Humanity and the guy who’s making that really cool Heir to the Empire adaptation. Well, this episode of Fandom Favourites is not actually a person who’s worked on Star Wars, but he has done some of my favourite stuff. This guy is Matt “D’Israeli” Brooker. For those of you who don’t know him, D’Israeli is a British comic book artist and sometimes writer, and is known (at least by me) for artwork on Scarlet Traces, Leviathan and Stickleback. If you don’t already know, Scarlet Traces plays a pretty reasonable part in my upcoming Tintin story Tintin and the Secrets of the Multiverse, as it is what I call “Earth-4 in the Tintin Multiverse,” due to Tintin’s appearance on Page 42 of the Scarlet Traces graphic novel. Anyway, he’s been doing comics since the 1980’s, and some of his earlier works include Ultraman and D’Adventures of I.S.R.A.E.L.I. In 1989-1990, he worked on Timulo for Deadline Magazine with writer Molly Eyre (a.k.a. just another name of Matt Brooker), as well as Fatal Charm with Shane Oakley (who is a real writer) also in the Deadline Magazine. Timularo, which is the collection of all of the Timulo comics, the D’Adventures of I.S.R.A.E.L.I. comics A Fistful of Fingers, Who Me? and Consequences (and a lot more) can be found on Lulu here. In 1991 he worked with Warren Ellis and Blast! Magazine on Lazarus Churchyard, and inked and coloured a lot of stuff after that. He had Consequences, the one-shot sequel to Timulo, published by the short-lived Autocratik Press in 1998, soon after he had worked with Ian Edginton on the four-part plus prologue mini-series Kingdom of the Wicked for Caliber Comics. 2002 came with the creation of Scarlet Traces with Ian Edginton, a sequel to HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds, which is still continuing today (I am hoping to write about in a blog post sometime soon). The next year he worked with Edginton yet again on the horror story Leviathan and with Paul Cornell on XTNCT. He began Stickleback with Ian Edginton in 2006, which is a basically-tie-in to Edginton and Steve Yeowell’s The Red Seas (just to put it out there, Stickleback’s real identity is READ THIS SPOILER IF YOU DARE: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes in disguise), and has done a lot of work since then, including Scarlet Traces sequels (The Great Game, Cold War, Cold War: Book 2 and Home Front, Storm Front coming soon) and prequel (HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds), Stickleback sequels (England’s Glory, London’s Burning, Number of the Beast and The Thru’Penny Opera) and an awesome series called Helium in 2015. His work is really amazing and I recommend that you try and find it. Also, he puts in a lot of Easter Eggs and references in his drawings, most of which can be found on Eamonn Clarke’s website Scarlet Traces Annotations. Well, that’s a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Just Some Random Stuff I Decided To Post About

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! You must all have heard the sad news of COVID-19, which has heavily impacted many communities across the world. I know I’m just a blogger, but I advise anybody who is reading this to please stay safe. Anyway, today I have just bought some reading material for this time (I still have a lot of books to read, like Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, Dark Force Rising, Shadows of the Empire, The Truce at Bakura, and a lot of others, but they don’t really matter right now) at one of my local bookshops, and I was very lucky. I first found Republic Commando: Triple Zero by Karen Traviss, the second novel in the Republic Commando series (hopefully this will help me write my Underworld series which includes the Imperial Commandos), secondly there was the slipcase/hardcover edition of Ryder Windham’s The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi (it has two really good painted covers), and last but not least was the Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual, my newest edition to my Halo Collection alongside the novels The Fall of Reach, The Flood and First Strike, the movie The Fall of Reach and the games Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2: Special Collector’s Edition (which both don’t work). Well, to change the subject a bit, I’ve started playing around with the Starport Press blog (see my previous post here), and I am officially announcing a new upcoming digital project (not quite sure if or when I’m going to make it), entitled “Outbreak.” What I can say so far is that it is going to be a pretty much text with some animations on Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, which is about the last man on the planet who has to fight off Martian Octopods as they attack the post-apocalyptic zombie-virus-in-the-air Earth. Yeah, it is meant to be a rip-off of HG Well’s The War of the Worlds combined with “that zombie videogame called... oops, I forgot the title.” Finally, just to change the subject even more, you can click on the images below to see some rough sketches for Blue Blood (they’re actually for Book 3 and 4, since 1 and 2 are really just normal Earth which I can’t draw as I’m not even an amateur artist) combined with a comic book effect (yes, other geeks out there, the margins on these pictures are those of actual comic books), and just to warn ya, if Blue Blood ever does become a comic book, I will not be the artist and the pictures which I have used will definitely not be for Issue 1. And just to bore you even more, I’d just like to say that Issue 1 of my new Tintin Magazine is complete, Issue 2 just needs some extra touches for completion, and Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly Magazine Issue 1 is also near completion. Well, that’s a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Above: Cover featuring a sorry, no spoilers 'til I at least announce the book's name.

Above: Cover featuring oh well, I still can't release any spoilers because this dude is from the same book.

Starport Update 22.03.2020: Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! In my recent days of absence, I have been preparing for two new publications: one is the Tintin Magazine, and the other is Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly Magazine! For a bit of information on the Tintin Magazine, go here, and for the rest of the information about the other stuff, carry on reading. My latest announcement is the Sci-Fi Bi-Monthly Magazine, which I am hoping to publish on a blog, whether it's one I have already or still need to make. I will be making these mags under the publisher name of Starport Press, and will be uploading them bi-monthly, beginning probably May this year, as well as the Tintin Magazine, although that's a little different, so if you want to know about that, keep an eye on Kih-Oskh. Anyway, this mag is going to include a couple of things. The first is that basic "Ya know, everything that's in this issue bla-dee-bla." Next is The Second Imperium Trilogy, and if you don't know The Second Imperium Trilogy, then go here. There's a couple of things changing, but it's pretty much the same. Thirdly is Blue Blood. Now you probably all don't know what Blue Blood is, and that's fine, because you're about to know a bit about it. It's an alien invasion in the 1940's. There, I told you, now you just have to read it when the magazine actually comes out. After this is New Millennium/Knightshade. Both of these take place in a different universe where sorry, no spoilers, because that would just be a total spoil and of course it takes place in a different universe, because you know me with my multiverse talk. The first issue will have a New Millennium piece that might last for a couple of issues, and after that's done, Knightshade will start. Finally, there's Thompson and Thomson. Yes, you heard that right, Tintin fans you might just be reading this blog. Thompson and Thomson. But know, copyright people who want to take me to court because of this, these are not the Thompsons from Tintin, just people who seem incredibly similar to them. There will also be a lot of references to Scarlet Traces, as this is where I got the idea from. Well, that's kind of it folks, so stay tuned for the mag and also.... Wait a minute, this isn't how I usually end a post.... Oh, yeah, I remember now.... Well see you next time on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! You know, I still don't think it's right....

Bulk Update!

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Okay, well, to start things off, I was looking through my documents on my computer and I found some cool blog stuff from last year on this blog, and some of this stuff I haven't even released yet, or even started. One of these things includes Star Wars: Chronicles of Telian Aieler - The Clone Wars, and if you know me or always look at this blog, you'll know this name as pretty much my most important Star Wars story out of them all. And of course, as I had been writing in some of my previous posts, I'm almost ready to start posting this story, as I am about half way through Chapter 2. But of course, I got caught up in other things. I joined the Jedi Council Forums, found the work of Darth Angelus, as well as a lot of other things. So, I've decided to, just to catch up on a few things I'm going to be posting stuff that I found just now. First is Chronicles. As I noted, I'm about half way through Chapter 2, and just for fun, I'm going to post the first two paragraphs in the Stories section. Next, there's all of the Darth Angelus stuff that I got into. For a quick update, Darth Angelus has recently uploaded the fourth chapter of his animated adaptation of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire, so you can watch that here. Anyway, I started making a "Complete Timeline of the Darkness Saga," and I hadn't actually added much, but I'm going to add a bit onto that. Finally, I came across some crossovers that I was planning, including Halo/Star Wars: Galaxy Evolved, Back to the Dark Times, Marvel/Star Wars: Empire Rising, and Indiana Jones and the Return to the Great Unknown. I had also planned an "Archive Insider," my rip-off of the Star Wars Insider for this blog, and I was hoping to release it in October last year, but I never really got around to it. Now, if you are keeping up with my other blog Kih-Oskh, you will know that I am beginning my own Tintin Magazine, and with some recent ideas for my sci-fi story The Second Imperium Trilogy and another sci-fi tale which I plan to reveal soon, I thought that I could possibly create a short every two months of every month sci-fi magazine including my original stories and Star Wars. I hope to release some more information soon. Well, thanks for reading, and be here soon for more on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

The New Blogs

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! I am happy to say that two new blogs have been launched: Kih-Oskh and Miners, Mercenaries and Millionaires! Okay, so just before I start explaining, you'll probably want to click here before you read this post. Anyway, if you don't know, Kih-Oskh is the name of my new Tintin blog, which is basically going to have all of my stories and crazy theories of the Tintin mulitverse which just don't make sense. Then, on the other hand, there's Miners, Mercenaries and Millionaires, which is my father's blog. He's got a whole long boring introduction which can be found here. His blog is going to include all of his mainly non-fiction writing, and just to put it out there, he's busy getting his first book, Melkkamer: A Pictorial History, printed for the De Hoop Collection, and has also just done a talk at the Cape Town Family History Society (CTFHS), and just in case they remove his bio from their website, I've archived it here. So, how can I find these blogs, you may ask. Well, you can visit my blog Kih-Oskh here and Miners, Mercenaries and Millionaires here. I'm also expecting my father to upload his presentation for the CTFHS on his blog, so please keep a lookout. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Kih-Oskh is Coming Soon

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Since my last post featuring some of my concept art for The Second Imperium Trilogy, I have been working on some things related to the famous cartoonist's Hergé's series, The Adventures of Tintin. I am a long time fan of this series, actually since I was four years old (the same year that the film The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn was released). Since earlier last year, before I even thought of the idea for The Sith Archives of Darth Fandom, I had already thought of the idea for a different blog, entitled Kih-Oskh (Kih-Oskh is the name of a pharaoh in The Adventures of Tintin: Cigars of the Pharaoh. To read about the brotherhood devoted to him, click here.)

Recently, I have started creating a Tintin timeline, as well as putting together a few ideas for stories. (My original stories were Tintin and the Broken Gold, Tintin and the Beast, and The Land of the Bad. Click the titles to read the stories, or at least what I did make of them. To read a basic synopsis of the stories, click here.) My first idea is Tintin and the Secrets of the Multiverse (for the cover, click here), which is basically the idea of a multiverse in Tintin. If you're curious about how I came to the conclusion that there is a multiverse in the Tintin universe, click here. Anyway, I'll hopefully be able to start this blog soon, so watch this space for more on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

The Second Imperium Trilogy Concept Art

Welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! As you know, I said I was going to post some of the concept art for my sci-fi series, The Second Imperium Trilogy, so here it is:

Picture #1: Anton Logan (Version 1)

As you might know, Anton Logan is the main antagonist of The Second Imperium Trilogy, so I decided to draw him first. For look #1, I drew his simple shape, with a few costume details.

Picture #2: Anton Logan (Version 2)

For the second picture, I traced my previous drawing of Anton Logan, but this time I added his signature coat/cloak. If you are a fan of The Matrix Trilogy, you might see a resemblance of Neo's coat.

Well, hope you like it! That's a wrap for THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

The Second Imperium Trilogy Concept Art

Wow. It's been a while since I last posted anything on here. I just wanted to say that I have been working on some concept art for my upcoming sci-fi story, The Second Imperium Trilogy. You remember that, right? Well, if you don't, click here to read my original post about the trilogy and my original stories.

Anyway, I'm going to scan the images soon, hopefully in good quality, and I should be able to post them on Monday or Tuesday. Nothing much, just some sketches of the main character, Anton Logan.

Also, I'd like to give a shout out to another Blogger, Nami. He's been on Blogger since 2013, and he does a lot of coll Tintin fan comics, and he's also currently writing a Star Wars comics, entitled Star Wars: Royal Blood. if you want to read his Tintin stories, you can visit http://myowntintin.blogspot.com/, and if you want to read his Star Wars story go to http://mycomicaventures.blogspot.com/2018/08/star-wars-princess-leia.html.

Oh, and also, before I go, I've just added the PDF Edition of Star Wars: Chronicles of Christmas, my most recent story. If you want to find it, first click on the "Stories" button under the Blog's title and slogan. Secondly, under the "Zones" heading, click "STAR WARS." Finally, you should be taken to a page that says "Star Wars Zone," and should also have a bit about Chronicles of Christmas. There should be a thing that says "Download PDF," and if you click on there, you can.... "Download PDF." And if this is too hard, just click here.

Well, that's a wrap of... THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!

Star Wars: Chronicles of Telian Aieler - The Clone Wars Opening Crawl

Hello and welcome back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! The year 2019 is now OFFICIALY OVER, and 2020 is now here! This means that there are loads more things still to come, including blog posts from me! If you have read my latest post (Star Wars: Chronicles of Christmas Epilogue), you would have read that I received an opening crawl video for Star Wars: Chronicles of Telian Aieler – The Clone Wars. This video was created using Kassel Lab’s Star Wars Intro Creator for free, and I personally think it came out really well. So, go ahead and watch the opening crawl:

Pretty cool! I would definitely recommend this site for anybody who wants to see and opening crawl come to life. It’s really simple: First, visit the site (link: https://starwarsintrocreator.kassellabs.io). Then, just do everything that it says. After that, just fill in the e-mail that you want to receive it to, and it will tell you approximately how long it will take until you can watch the video, since there are usually a lot of people using the site. See, easy! Anyway, if you want another way to design a Star Wars Opening Crawl, I have already created a step-by-step for creating one on Microsoft Word 2010, with an additional selection of images to help you complete the process (link: https://darthfandom.blogspot.com/2019/07/how-to-create-star-wars-opening-crawl.html). Well, I am almost finished creating the PDF Edition of my latest story, Star Wars: Chronicles of Christmas, so you can expect that soon. Also, don’t forget to follow my blog, and remember, you can access exclusive content when you subscribe by e-mail. Well that’s a New Year on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!
