The Scoundrel

"*Not every story has an end; some may only just be the beginning of a whole new one.*"
—Narrator[src]

**The Scoundrel** is a Sci-fi, action adventure, fantasy Star Wars fan animation series created by JonnyWD16. It is set forty years after the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

## Production Timeline

### 2016

The name of Star Wars was meant to be used in a Roleplay which JonnyWD16 was intending to do back in early 2016, but the idea of the Roleplay ultimately got scrapped due to unknown reasons.

### 2019

The same idea then popped back up again in late 2019, following the release of Season 1 Episode 8 Part 2 of Minecraft Crafting Dead, which was a series that JonnyWD16 once did back in 2016; it was mentioned as a potential roleplay idea over on Discord, although any evidence of this was lost as JonnyWD16's Discord server was completely vandalized later in July 2020 after a user tampered with the server's settings which destroyed the server.

### 2021

In an update video posted on May 23rd 2021, and on Discord, JonnyWD16 confirmed that the series would not be a Minecraft-themed series due to reasons stated in the video. Also, the planned release for the series was pushed to sometime before or during 2023 due to falling behind schedule when working on Crafting Dead and other reasons.

### 2022

In an update video posted on February 1st 2022, JonnyWD16 mentioned the entire series was being redone as the story was clunky, disjointed, and unjustified. On the contrary, JonnyWD16 also revealed the series would be renamed from Bounty Hunters to something else; however, the name has yet to be showcased.

### 2023

On September 13th 2023, the production for the series was halted indefinitely due to major rewrites and pre-production being taken back to the beginning because the previous four attempts were messy and the ideas JonnyWD16 had in mind were not working out as he intended them to be. A new version of the production folder has since been made which contains new versions of the scripts, story drafts, skins, concept art, etc.

## Trivia

* The Scoundrel will feature the first non-canon depiction of the Rang Clan crime syndicate despite having yet made a proper appearance in any canon Star Wars media as of August 2021.
* Characters like Nik, Selby, R7-V5, Henrick, Fivel, Draxter, Quinn, Vinon, and Pife were the first characters to be revealed prior to the series' release. However, the majority of the characters' concept or official designs were not showcased as of August 2021.
* On October 21st 2020, JonnyWD16 posted a drawing of a lightsaber on Discord as well as putting out a tease that the series will feature a new Jedi character and an assassin alongside some other characters which were yet to be explained.
* The teasers of Bounty Hunters that were uploaded to YouTube in July and October 2020 were unlisted because JonnyWD16 expresses his regret for showcasing Bounty Hunters too soon as it was in early development thus it was unlisted but still watchable via external links.
	+ However, those videos were later relisted.
