The Best Ideas From “Star Wars” Fanfiction They Should Actually Use In The Movies

What are the best Star Wars fanfiction stories?
Star Wars as a franchise has inspired millions of nerds worldwide to imagine a life beyond our universe. It’s one in which space princesses lead rebellions, bounty hunters with jetpacks chase wisecracking smugglers, and everything depends on the balance of an invisible force. The lore surrounding Star Wars goes much deeper than what we know of the Skywalker clan. There are tons of stories from the Star Wars Legends works that don’t exist on screens. And there are even more that have only made an appearance in the darkest fan-run corners of the internet. In fact, some of the best Star Wars stories out there are Star Wars fanfiction. Because, sometimes, fans have better imaginations than Disney. Or George Lucas.
