Well I've been thinking for some time now, I have a bunch of star wars models and not a lot to do with them. I've been considering making a bunch of animated stories with them, revolving around the crew of a Star Destroyer, documenting their lives (kinda) as they battle it out and all. The title of the entire thing is going to be Star Destroyer to.
Anyway, below is the basic idea for "Episode 1", also known as, "The Pilot".
There are a lot of links to wookiepedia, which gives details on ships and the like. Also, the ship that the story focuses around will appear like this (they change ship every now and then, so the names change around, labeling it like this keeps the knowledge of which ship they're on constant)
Title: Episode 1
Time: 19 BBY
Prelude:
Plot:
Summary:
How does the plot look? Is it ok? Would it hold up? I've deliberately made it short, it would need to be somewhere under 10 minutes and I'm pretty confident that it can be done.
There are still a few things to do however;
That's about all I can think of for the time being. I'm looking for input on this, and your thoughts are welcome.

Title: Episode 1
Time: 19 BBY
Prelude:
- Clone Wars are coming to an end.
- Venator-Class Star Destroyer Kelly arrives over Coruscant to duel with the CIS Fleet
Plot:
Kelly comes out of hypersapce and is attacked by a Recusant-Class warship and a running battle develops.
ARC-170 fighters draw the Vulture fighters away from the ship. Kelly closes in and fires a crippling shot amidships and blows the destroyer in two.
Following this, Kelly pushes on and comes under attack from two Munificent-Frigates. Two other Venators come to assist Kelly and one Munificent is destroyed and the other flees with the rest of the Confederate fleet.
Once the battle is ended, Kelly is assigned to salvage operations whilst the Captain departs aboard a Theta-class shuttle flanked by several V-Wing Starfighters for a meeting with High Command on the planet. Another damaged Munificent briefly comes back to life but then gets pounded to an oblivion.
On the bridge, the Captain reports over the intercom that Kelly is being retired, and will be replaced by a new Victory I-Class Star Destroyer, and a New Order has begun.
Summary:
- Kelly fights in the Battle of Coruscant
- Destroys 3 ships
- Captain departs to planet for meeting
- Salvage operations begin, a half working CIS warship is destroyed
- Captain announces Kelly is being retired and replaced
- New Order begins
- Galactic Empire replaces the Old Republic
How does the plot look? Is it ok? Would it hold up? I've deliberately made it short, it would need to be somewhere under 10 minutes and I'm pretty confident that it can be done.
There are still a few things to do however;
- Decide on whether to use my 3D models for this, or try and download other people's and pray I can get them working in MAYA
I'm not sure how good my models would be for this sort of thing
- Give names to the following people/ranks:
- Captain
- Field Operations Commander
- Starfighter/TIE Operations Commander
- Chief Gunnery Officer
- Ship Lieutenant
Is anyone else able to think of a rank that would be on a Star Destroyer?
- Captain
That's about all I can think of for the time being. I'm looking for input on this, and your thoughts are welcome.
