Are you keen on creating your own adventures for Luke, Leia, Han, Anakin and your other Star Wars heroes? Are you interested to see characters you've created yourself interact with familiar faces in that galaxy far, far away? Writing your own Star Wars literature can be a source of fun, fulfillment, and, if you're lucky, profit.
Steps
-
Think of the main character(s). They are the ones who have to have the most impact in your story. In Star Wars IV, Luke is the main character. Your main character is the central point of your story, so put time into this character. The rotating point. The ' main point' . [1] X Research source
-
Think of the side (or supporting) characters. To name a few in Star Wars IV: Princess Leia, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi... They should have small impact on the plot. If they have a large impact, then the reader will think that they are the main characters.Advertisement
-
Think of the enemy. In Star Wars IV, there's Darth Vader, his Stormtroopers, etc. Every single Star Wars book has to have an enemy. So does an Indiana Jones book, or any other good book. Try to be unique and explore new and more advanced enemies, weapons,etc.
-
Think of what the main character(s) are trying to accomplish. This is the plot. A plot is the central events of a story, play, movie, or similar work. The main characters are vital to the plot, and, in this case, the book. But plot doesn't always have to be around the main character, subplots can be useful to give a different level of detail to the story. [2] X Research source
-
Develop the setting. Explore new planets, awesome technology and fascinating creatures as your main characters take on new challenges in new parts of a galaxy far, far away. [3] X Research source
-
Put all of the elements together. Write down every tiny detail. If one thing does not fit in the story, take it out and put in something that does. You can't have a barbie doll fight Anakin Skywalker. [4] X Research source

Write the book. Choose the right words to "sew" together your elements into a story. If one wrong word is chosen, the whole story will "fall apart". Or [5] X Research source

QuestionCan I publish my story if I'm a kid?Community AnswerYes! However, you would need lots of help from your parents. They would have to help you create a manuscript, mail it off to any publishing companies (or help you through the process of self-publishing), handle any paperwork, etc. It's definitely possible though.

QuestionShould there be multiple drafts?DonaganTop AnswererIf you are an extraordinarily good writer, one draft could be enough. Otherwise, several drafts might be necessary. Often the second draft is better than the first, and the third draft could be better than the second.
