I just read that this timeline is ending this year. Do timelines end every year? Any word on what the next one will be?
It's ending with the relish of Star Wars 7 Think of this as a time to hone your skills as a RPer.I just read that this timeline is ending this year. Do timelines end every year? Any word on what the next one will be?
It could be in the era that was called Dawn of the Jedi (in the now non-canon comic line). We don't know yet.
Yes, the timeline will end in December/January, and a new one will take it's place shortly afterwards. No, you can't keep your same characters, as there'll likely be a gap of time spanning several thousand years...
I don't see why we can't slide our characters over. I mean, like, you take the character over in spirit, like, revert back to square one with it. Same name and looks, just back to the point where you started with them, from the leader of a mercenary gang back to that farmboy who set out with a hand-me-down blaster and a mismatched set of armor that was a size too big. Like, my character is still basically on square one. Maybe square two. Transferring her won't be hard, plus, basically everything about her fits in with the new cannon, since most of it are things that come from the films. Besides Tython.
And I think even if you want to keep your character where they are, I'm sure with a little work and creativity you can rewrite your character's history to fit better with the new timeline. Or maybe a lot of work a creativity, depending on how involved your characters got with galactic politics.
I'm rather concerned regarding this as well. As you must realize, I don't wanna start a char that will immediately be a waste of writing.
