Star Wars
According To Jack

Star Wars has always been more than just a movie to me--it's a mythology. Somehow, it got burned into my brain early on, and it came to be as inspiring for me as any book of scripture. Yet along with that came the itch to refine my mythology. I'd play "What if?" with myself ("What if Anakin had been from Naboo...") and I found that the changes I made only enhanced the story for me, bringing the reasons why I value it to the forefront and generally making it better. Eventually, the story in my head got to be so different from the story on the screen that I set forth to write down my version.

I don't have a comments sytem in place, but please email starwars@prykop.com if you want to provide feedback or join the mailing list. Also, if you like what you've seen here, please check out my collected works.

I present all of this with only the utmost respect for George Lucas, without whom these ancient archetypes never would have looked so cool.

Thanks for reading!
