Projects I'll Never Write #2 - "Star Wars: Pacifism."

 Apologies for the slacking. It was a combination of switching to monthly/bi-monthly posting and then the appearance of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom . I could beat the game, but...there's so much to explore. Video games: the bane of nearly every writer ever. In any case, this will be another entry in my series of Projects I'll Never Write .

By this point the series is almost beyond parody (though I will fight people about the quality of Jason X ) but I think with the right budget and mentality this could work. Definitely not a reboot. They tried that, it didn't work. Nor would this necessarily eliminate Jason X in the canon. What I propose is a situation where Jason Voorhees is still a proble...
