hiddenramenI'm finally starting to make some decent progress on my Star Wars AU outline! (I think I'm going to do the story for the MXTX Big Bang, so I'm trying to get a really thorough outline together so I can structure my work a bit more tightly based on the schedule / timeframe, and so I can have a reference for length / where I need to be at various points).
I rewatched the prequel movies the other day for a vibe check, and as I was glibly roasting the absolutely abysmal structure of The Phantom Menace to my girlfriend (and sidenote, but Christ, the narrative structure of that movie is just... absolutely bonkers bananas, holy shit), I made a comment that went something like, "I'm going to write a Star Wars story and not mention tax negotiations not once, just to flex on George Lucas."
Smash cut to the 7 tabs I have open on the political landscape of the Star Wars universe, and surprise! There are so, so many taxes 😂 George Lucas wins again, I guess.
