Darth Josh's Writing Tip:
STAY IN CHARACTER! When writing known characters, stay in character. Watch the movies, read the books. Research them for as long as it takes you to be able to sit down and write them as naturally as you could your best friend.

Darth Ewok's Writing Tip:
If you decide to work in an area that you're unfamiliar with, try and research online or in a Star Wars guide before you write your fanfic.

MasterQuiGon's Writing Tip:
Try to balance description; too much will bore the reader, while if you have not enough the reader will not be able to picture the story in his/her head.

Persephone_Kore's Writing Tip:
Actually, yes, you are. Not necessarily dialogue that would sound natural if you said it to your friends, but dialogue that fits the universe and characters. A soldier probably won't sound like a holostar won't sound like a Jedi; Dooku won't talk like Anakin and neither of them like Yoda; and it is very unlikely that any of them should sound like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

the_golgothan's Writing Tip:
You're worried about natural sounding dialogue on a Star Wars site? "You can write this sh*t, George, but you sure can't say it". Try watching a load of clunky 1930s Flash Gordon-style sci-fi - that's the type of dialogue Lucas was aiming for, wasn't it?

Onoto's Writing Tip:
Read what you've written out loud, especially the dialogue. It has to sound natural, otherwise the reader won't buy the story.

D.H. Noble's Writing Tip:
Sometimes is helps to just sit down and write with out thinking. It doesn't have to be star wars, it can be the most random thing in the world, but it gets your mind moving and thinking. As soon as you stop to think, don't keep writing what you have been, go back to writing your story.
