It's alive....ALIIIIVE!!! HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!! Just in time for Christmas morning, Timetales has returned to life with the brand new 2005 Annual .doc file edition. Up to date, filled to the brim, ready to present the Star Wars universe to you in all its' glory. Happy New Year, and God bless us... everyone... -- December 25, 2005

Stand by, fans -- Timetales returns this Christmas... -- December 21, 2005

Section 1-2 of the online version has been reinstated. -- November 3, 2004

The .doc file has been updated for the fall, including revised versions of the Dune Sea Scrolls Classic Trilogy scripts. As far as online updates...I don't know anymore. I don't have a working computer and the one I can use is too slow and has no scanner connection...which leaves me up Poodoo Creek as far as this page is concerned. A LOT of awful personal stuff (that I don't want get into here) has transpired in the last couple of years, leaving me about as dirt poor as Watto. I would ask for donations, but I don't think the TFN staff would like that. ;)

I do intend to see this project through, at least through ROTS. What happens after that's gonna depend on the Force. -- October 1, 2004

At long last, the online version is beginning to be relaunched! Section 1-1 is now up. The .doc file has also been updated. -- May 23, 2004

Today, we unveil the "Arcana Historica" page, a home for the rare and the intriguing in Star Wars literature and memorabilia. -- March 10, 2003

I was gonna wait on uploading until I could get the "Remnant" summary in. Figured it was the least I could do, since Mike and my names were in it, right? But I simply didn't have the time (Real Life[tm]), and realized if I waited any longer I might as well make it a March release. So here's the WIP (aren't they all?) February .doc file! -- February 11, 2003

I just broke my own record. Three months and three days...whew! But you do get the 2002 Annual Edition of Timetales! -- January 14, 2003

Well, the holidays are over, and we're off to a new year -- the Year of the Clone. (grin) As promised, Chapter 2 of the TPM Radio Drama is now available on the side menu. -- January 1, 2002

As we all celebrate, I've decided to present a few holiday surprises for all the fans out there who have stuck by Timetales for nearly five years now.

This first present isn't really all that new. In fact, it's the first online thing I did when I first went online in early 1998. You've probably seen copies of them at both TFN and Jedinet's multimedia pages. For this holiday season, I went back and dusted them off with a little reformatting -- and finally completed the set with a transcript lended to me long ago by a guy named Brandon Frost. (Hey Brandon, if you're out there -- thank you and email me soon!)

So, for all you people who email in to TFN asking "Where's the novel about the reborn Emperor and Luke falling to the Dark Side?" THIS is where you come for your answers! :D

I'll have this moved to a side page around the start of the year. But here's the direct links for your perusal:

The next Xmas surprise is for you music-lovers. As many of you know, George Lucas severely re-edited the Battle of Naboo sequence in The Phantom Menace at the last minute -- and thus most of John Williams' score for those scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. Presented here is my own attempt, via the soundtrack CDs and the Lucasarts video games, to reconstruct the score the way Williams originally intended it to be heard. I thank Ricard Befan, Elvis Jones, Indysolo, Hiphats, and other fans of John Williams who have attempted similar reconstructions in the past, which have both informed and inspired mine.

Present #3 is a real blast from the past -- the earliest surviving copy of the Timetales .doc file from allll the way back in November 1998! (Wow, it's been that long already!)

Timetales '98 doc file (rtf format)

Present #4 is a rather personal one for me -- my first foray into fanfic (of a sort). I've been working on this for nearly a year now, and I hope you'll like it as well. This will be released one episode a week over the next twelve weeks.
