Re: Star Wars music

Of more recent ilk, "Jedi Steps" from TFA and "Your Father Would Be Proud" from R1 are my favorites from each movie. "The Jedi Steps," taken together with the track "Farewell and the Trip"--pretty much the best thing in The Force Awakens musically speaking. O...

Re: Fan Fiction: The Secret History of Boba Fett - Pt. 2: Impact

Interesting. I was never much of a Boba fan, but I was always curious about Boba after ROTJ. I figured he was a survivor and went on some type of revenge after some time to collect himself. Looking forward to more. I may put some of my stories up about SW. Thanks for reading! There may be more as e...

I don't watch much TV any more, TWD, Humans, Star Wars Rebels is about it for me. I've started watching Humans . Season 1 on BluRay. Not a bad little program.

Fan Fiction: The Secret History of Boba Fett - Pt. 2: Impact

Okay, no one complained, so...Chapter Two: II. Impact There was a bang. Sand replaced sky. Fett hit the ground a hundred meters from the Sarlaac’s mouth. He lay on his face. Priority one was getting the pack off, before it cooked off. But it was hard just to raise his head. A debris field filled his...

So...are we still allowed to post fan fic?

If so, where?

I put the question here because, well, I didn't see a "Fan Creation" section, and fiction usually appears in print, either digital or analog.
