Welcome back to the Galaxy. If you were on the SWGEMU forums back in 2009, you might remember my thread, "From Beta to Blunder." It was a diary of my life as a Mon Calamari Scout named Vroflus and Armorsmith named Rodd.

I am archiving that entire story here, but with a twist. Using Google Gemini, I am "reshooting" my original screenshots. The layout, the camps, and the armor are exactly where they were in the early 00's, but now they look like a frame from a modern film. It’s the game the way we felt it back then.

• What's Next: Once I'm done getting this story back online I am considering turning it into a webisode series.
• The Process: It can be agonizing at times wrestling with Gemini to get me the shots I need. It's especially hard to get everything to line up with the sliders. Sometimes I just have to move on to the next image for my own sanity. I plan to go back and make adjustments, but for now I want to get the entire story back up and running first.
