Star Wars: Threads of Destiny

Ninety-four years after the Battle of Endor and the death of emperor Palpatine, the New Republic has been resurrected, and democracy once again presides in the galaxy. The Jedi Order is reestablished on the planet Yavin 4, and has continued to train new Jedi Knights in the art of peace and justice. But all is not peaceful in this new world. With the fall of the Galactic Empire, the ancient Skenvi Empire now comes out of the woodworks.

The Skenvi now oppose the New Republic for control over the galaxy with their growing empire. The Skenvi seek to seize control of all the galaxy's most valuable resources to cripple their enemies. And if a planet refuses to join them, they have been known to take very aggressive actions.

Caught in between this struggle over the fate of the galaxy is the little planet of Coreign. The planet possesses a very powerful resource that would greatly favour the side that has access to it if a galactic war was to emerge.

In its eagerness to gain access to Coreign's resources, the Skenvi Empire sends its most infamous negotiator, Lord Siege. He is a man who is known throughout the galaxy for seeing that the Skenvi Empire gets what it wants by all means necessary. The New Republic sends two of its Jedi ambassadors, Jedi Master Soran Darr and his Padawan, Raven Darkham.

Toward the end of the story, a suggestion was raised of the possibility that Jedi Raven and Princess Arianna's entanglement could lead to an ill consequence similar to what appeared to have happened earlier with Lord Siege, as briefly alluded to by his lament over his earlier involvement with Tashia.

Fan films by definition are not considered canonical. Star Wars: Threads of Destiny was written and produced before the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and inevitably there are discrepancies between what the filmmakers hypothesized would transpire in post Return of the Jedi timeline, and what is eventually depicted in J. J. Abrams' finished film.

The film started pre-production in April 2005,[3] and was shot both in studio and on locations around Stockholm in Sweden in the Autumn of 2005 for a period of 22 days. Pick-up shoots conducted in 2006, 2007 and 2008 added another 10 production days. Threads of Destiny cost approximately $5,500 and $6,000 to make, mostly spent on raw materials for sets, props, costumes, catering and equipment rental to make the film. The film was made entirely with a volunteer cast and crew.[1][4]

The VFX were done by a scattered group of artists around the world, working on different platforms and pieced together in post-production.

The script was first written by Michael Beano, a second draft and a novelisation was made by Jeff Long and the third shooting draft was made by Mathew Davis. Steven RR Parker did extensive editing and wrote a number of scenes after principal photography had ended.

Although the finished film was made available on YouTube and BitTorrent on February 23, 2014, a gala premiere took place the previous day in Sweden[9] for the cast, crew, friends and families, and several small theaters have shown their interest in screening the film, including a mall theater in Brazil.[10]

On February 8, 2014, a prologue comic was released introducing some of the main characters and stories that will lead to the events in the film.[11]

The film has received a mixed response from Star Wars fans.

As of 2010, there were plans to create two sequels for the film, and the scripts for both of them were already written.[3][5] Since Threads of Destiny took nine years to complete, however, it is unlikely that Tirzitis will make another fan film again.[10]
