Lessons Learned (Fallen Knight) · 11:34am Jun 5th, 2022
At times you find yourself looking back.
In my case, I took my time and looked back at my past work. My second big project was Fallen Knight, as Night Wonder did come first, but I had too many issues with it. Looking back on it, I'm still really happy with it, buuuut, I also cringe at some of my choices. 
I didn't get to the stuff I wanted, and frankly I was too inexperienced to really get into a project of such a scale. It did help me get noticed on the site, and I will say I learned some important writing skills. However, there is a lot I would have done differently today.
1: The ponies should have been Anthros. Hooves and lightsabers doesn't mix, if they were going to remain ponies, I should have kept Revan as the only lightsaber/force user. It also feels more something Revan could deal with, as there is a lot of aliens in the Star Wars universe, so Anthro ponies would not seem so far fetched.
2: I would have added a second Jedi to come with him. It would be hard, not impossible, but hard tog et a prober lightsaber fight. Flirting with the dark side, and have a proper nemesis could have been handled by a second Jedi who falls to the dark side. Leaving a dramatic scar on the protagonist of losing a friend.
3: The name.. Revan should not have been called Revan, and his last name makes me cringe. It smells too much of an edgy fanfic. XD
4: Clone troopers. Well this one I am still debating. I could see fun reasons to bring clone troopers to the MLP universe, and I could see ways you could get around the chip problem, and still get order 66.
5: Pacing. While I did keep some sort of time awareness and passing... I should have added more chapters to get more progression in their lives, and develop relationships more.
6: Rainbow Dash could still become a Padawan of the protagonist, but she is already a hero in her own right. I think it be much more interesting to get Scootaloo as a Padawan, and leave the conflict to Rainbow Dash instead of Applejack.
7: Alternative universe VS canon. Something I always try to do is respect the canon world, and try to not let my characters come in and fix everything. It is a hard balance, as you want your charectar to be part of the world, without them being OP or a Mary Sue. However sometimes you also have to make choices, and at times you will have to bypass certain canon events. Looking back, I would never have included Discord.
And those are my thoughts. I think there is major room for improvement, and some changes is wanted. I'm still looking to reboot this story at some point, and I find it fun to think about it at times.
This is not on top of my to do list right now, but I think it is great to get some perspective on it. 
What do you guys think of these changes and ideas? Is it something you would find interesting??
I definitely would read the reboot. I love Star Wars and I love MLP.
I would read this again. Star Wars fic are a weird treat for me cuz some are good. Some..are just dog water. So it would be nice to see this remade
Not only would I read the reboot, I'd even let you borrow an OC.
Most first story of many writer will always make them cringe. Even tho I like the story your majesty, if a remake would is what your majesty wish to do, I'll support it.
I'm a Huge Star Wars fan, And yes I agree that this needs a reboot or something new. If you want to talk about it, PM me.
tho my SWOR lacking
