Alright folks, with the New Year coming up in just a few hours (depending on where you are in the world), this week's contest is about The Beginning. Not the first movie made, not the first movie chronologically, this contest is about The Beginning of your Star Wars enthusiasm.
Create something that captures or reflects what got you excited about Star Wars. It doesn't have to be your absolute first experience with it; just relate it to something that sparked your enthusiasm, or an important first-time experience after becoming a fan. Maybe you saw Episode IV in theaters, or maybe you saw Episode IV in your parents' living room when you turned 10. Maybe you were already a Star Wars fan, but The Phantom Menace or The Force Awakens was your first time getting to see Star Wars on the big screen. Maybe you came here from watching Clone Wars or playing LEGO Star Wars.
Whatever the beginning (or new beginning) of your Star Wars enthusiasm was, put it in a piece. Don't get too caught up in the details, if it was an important first-time of any sort for you, it's good.
Hopefully that isn't too vague
(in consideration of the New Year, this will be another two-week round so you have more time)
1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.
2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)
3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )
4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.
5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at least 10 forum posts.
6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.
7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.
8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.
You will have until Saturday, January 11th, 2020 @8pm EDT to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.
Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EDT on Monday, January 13th, 2020.
At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.
