| abstract | - Many of the humor in the first season was heavily influenced by the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This came about as both creators had just watched the film shortly before they started writing the script, which started in the summer of 2007. The creators claimed that they had gotten bored one day while one was at the other’s house and started messing around with five of the director’s action figures. From there, they thought of the idea to write a script for a Star Wars spoof called, The Fanon Menace. They had worked out that they would make three films, one of each episode in the prequel trilogy, until they found out that YouTube had a 100MB limit. Since the films would be too big to put directly onto YouTube, the director developed the idea to turn it into a series, with three-part seasons. The prequel trilogy would be the first. They also decided that Coruscant would never be featured, taking it from LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, where Coruscant was never featured in Episode I. During the write-up for the script for Part II, the creators decided to outsource their series, allowing another friend of theirs to join the cast. This friend would take on the rolls of Count Dooku and Jango Fett. This friend would continue with them through Part III taking on the roll of Bail Organa, Mace Windu, and other minor characters. This sparked more outsourcing that continued during Season 2. As the scripts for the sequel parts commenced, the director decided to go back to Part I and rewrite parts of it. The rewrites were not major, nor were they important. They were “merely to weed out the inconsistencies”. However he never went back and re-filmed any of Part I, knowing that it still fit the direction he was going. The rewrite was solely in case he remastered the series with digital effects, such as CGI.
