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!
