Star Wars - Plot ideas?

Hey all. I'm looking for plot ideas, just ideas that people can use, provided they acknowledge you. Think of it as someone making use of a great idea which you created and you will get to see the fruitation of the authors work.

Heres one:

One year before the start of the Clone Wars.

A Jedi is murdered. Who is the killer? Why was he killed? Perhaps for this ideas sake, he was tracking down a slave ring in the Republic. It is being run by the Hutts and your only clue is the Bouny Hunter that killed him.

You begin to find out what the dead Jedi had known, as you unravel what the Bounty Hunter had told you, for the right price of course. You soon discover that the Hutt's are involved after you follow the trail to Nar Shadda, but it doesn't end there. The Hutts were only the fronters, you discover that the trail leads back to the heart of the Republic, where lets say the Jedi was killed. You soon discover that there is a senator say from the Trade Federation, which at this time was represented in the senate, that was running the thing by wiring credits to the Hutts.

As you gather evidance to arrest him, something comes to light. The senator had been killed. Why? It leads deeper into the Republic to its head Chancellor Palpatine.

You arrange a meeting with Palpatine, and discover he is a Sith lord. You fight in his office say. And unfortunly you die. A cracking story huh... I doubt it. Bad plot.

I doubt that some mere Jedi would have the skill and intellect required to trace anything back to Palpatine.

It doesn't even need to be one person, it could be two, three, doesn't even need to be Jedi, its an idea, take it how you will, but that is going to be one of my future projects....

Palpatine was very careful to cover up anything that could have led back to him.

in LOE, didn't a team actually track sidious to his quarters based on his meeting with Dooku though? (and then he killed them)

It was an idea that can be tweaked and turned, spun and completely rehashed. Noting is set in the world of fiction. If it was we would read the same story over and over again. I will take that under consideration but honestly I wouldn't have the chracter even reach Palps. Maybe an underling. Who knows, perhaps the Jedi doesn't die but merely finds himself back where he started as all leads ended with the senator who was killed. Then you would go back, read through the story and alter what is nessesary to find a suitable ending.

Perhaps Palpatine does get involved by assuring the Jedi that they/he/she had done the right thing in coming to him. He strings them along with truthful lies, and easily places the blame on someone working for Darth Sideous, with Plaps blaming him, yet they do not know he is him.

LOE? and what is PIS?

Through sheer luck, a great deal of resources, many weeks, and Jedi lending a hand.

Labyrinth of Evil.

😐

Ahh Labyrinth of Evil... 'fraid I skipped that book. And PIS is used a lot in the Imperial Navy thread, what does it mean? I looked but can't figure.

It took me ten minutes to come up with that plot, and another hour to put it to paper Gid' so don't blame me. It was the best I came up with in a while. Btw I love your sig...

Anyone got plot bunnies they want to put into this thread? It'd be nice.

PIS=Plot Induced Stupidity

Don't concern yourself with PIS. To moderators, it doesn't apply, and to people? Well, I just wasted a ridiculous amount of time trying to explain it to a, presumably, intelligent individual and got nowhere.

So just don't worry about it.

Plot induced stupidity: Like Stormtrooper missing every shot, and any character such as Han is a crack shot? Even Leia can hit two troopers at close range when a scout trooper couldn't even shoot Han. Or when the Rebel fleet survive a Death Star and close to fifty Star Destroyers? See I understand it. lol

You're officially my hero. Well done, sir! 😄

Or how Darth Maul was killed by a padawan despite being far more skilled in every way. But Obiwan couldn't die in the PT because he was alive in the OT.

Seems that everyone minus a very select few comprehends.

Haa! Honestly, even with the Death Star gone the remaing Imperial ships over Endor could have wiped the floor with 'em and still have enough ships to anybody else stupid enough to contend with them. The Empire, or how they are partially depicted in TESB, rules. Most of my fics heavily involve Imps.

Yup I thought you did explain the Caedus-Luke situation pretty well,especially in this sentence.(with my own add input added in)

At the end, Luke Skywalker didn't want to attack(and kill) Caedus because of a stupid excuse.(not wanting his son to go dark by seeing Luke kill Jacen) Why? Because the authors couldn't have him running off and butchering him(then the main villain is dead with like 4 books remaining).

PLOT. INDUCED. STUPIDITY.

Nice...

Maybe you should make PIS a seperate thread on its own. lol.

Soo, plot bunnies people?

Oh, please do not talk about PIS in every thread, okay?

And yes, a guy figured out that Sidious was Palpatine, but just before dying. It was also right before Episode III.
