Quite Possibly The Worst Star Wars Story Idea Ever

[Chris Parr]

The point is to challenge him. After all, he can't be everywhere and the Empire is everywhere.

Also, I want to shake things up. Put in someone who is neither Jedi nor Sith but just a regular guy with powers. How does he deal with it? Which way will he go? Will he side with the Sith? Will he join the Jedi? I don't know, I'm just making it up as I go.

And lest you think he's too powerful for the Sith or the Jedi remember Darth Vader's words. "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force." So if he's insignificant next to a planet destroying super weapon, and that super weapon is insignificant next to someone with the power of the Force, then he's not going to be so high and mighty is he?

Anyway, where else am I going to find such ready made challenges for a Superman?

[Batman]

Okay, I give up.

[Simon_Jester]

Me too. Either he's finally descended into outright trolling, or he's got this childlike inability to actually accept input from other people, or his head has disappeared so far up his ass with all this "my story is ironic and campy!" that he considers this to be a sufficient defense against "your story is going to be idiotic and bad!"

[Chris Parr]

Of course it's idiotic and bad. That was the whole point from the get go.

[Simon_Jester]

You have never really bothered to justify why you would intentionally write a story you know is going to be idiotic and bad, though, and it's pretty clear by now that you never will bother to do that.

At which point you basically fail the Turing Test, and people lose interest in even talking to you.

[Chris Parr]

Why? Why would I want to write Z grade Star Wars fan fiction?

Because it's fun. Fun for me, that is.

You seem to go between wanting to write a bad fan fic and something meaningful. A bad fan fic wouldn't care about internal logic or the guy having limits, its supposed to be bad and probably funny. He wouldn't be dealing with anything, he wouldn't be shaking anything up. A struggle about some super powered being having to try to stop himself from hurting people and stop from dying from bigger players then he doesn't sound like bad fan fic or parody. That sounds like a drama, a serious tale of a persons plight. Trying to write it as spoof or parody would probably make for a boring story that isn't funny. An intentionally bad fan fic should be so bad its good not just bad.

If you are wanting a superman analog in Star Wars for a bad fan fic, he'd probably work as just a spoof. He'd be some brawny meathead who does hilariously stupid things like try to fight the Empire but winds up causing more damage then the Empire ever did. Try to help Aunt Beru and Uncle Lars but wind up killing them. Mistake Rebels fighting stormtroopers as anti-robot fanatics trying to hurt some poor defenseless robots. Keeps running away from TIE Fighters because he thinks they are the Death Star because he can't into depth perception.

Or try writing a parody. Imagine Supermans ideals of truth, justice, and the American way in the Star Wars galaxy. Think about how corny his wholesome farmboy mentality would be. Or run with the farmboy thing and have Supes replace Luke Skywalker powers and all. It should be absurd but still follow the structure laid out by the Star Wars universe and the movies if you are doing a Superman parody of Luke's tale.

Here's some links to give you some ideas of how these things are written.
