I had a lot of fun coming up with the various folktales intersped in this.
All the planets/people have different ways of framing stories.
- Stories from Naboo start with either "Once upon a time, above wave, below stars" for the Gungan stories and "Once upon a time, below stars" for the non-Gungan stories.
- Stories on Alderaan start with "Long ago on Alderaan" and by giving the main character's relationship to Queenship.
- Stories on Pantora start with "When yesterday was yet to be" and end with a bracketed statement including the phrase "Do not believe them." -- they refute other versions of the story.
- Clone stories are much more informal in tone and start with "They say this is a true story".
- Ykobar stories start with "There was a time" which is a literal translation of the French "Il était une fois", the traditional start to a fairytale. They end in "The tale still goes on and is only just beginning".
