mine is taking place in a park between a hobo and a construction worker, I already have the first part filmed
Have a bit with the benny hill theme(yackety sax) where they are running between doors in a corridor (like they do in scooby doo) and have loads of people randomly appearing towards the end. That would be good!
Yeah! Then indiana Jones and Spongebob Squarepants can come and run over the sith with the Batmobile! 
Have it set in a building that's falling to pieces, with lots of different levels. So they can jump between levels and throw parts of the walls and floors at each other.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I went with my bridge idea and I am now building my set. I also wanted to explain to you guys why I have not gotten anything at all done. My studio is in the game room, which also is connected to the kitchen. So to film, I have to have the game room and kitchen lights off. Problem is, those are the two most frequented rooms in the house, so my family wants those lights on when I need them off. I rarely find time when no one needs/wants the lights on, and when I do it's usually not for much longer than an hour or so, which as we all know is almost useless unless you know exactly what you want to film.
So yeah, I am trying to work something out with my family about this, and when I do I shall really be in business.
I don't get it. Why can't you just film in your bedroom?

My parents won't let me have a computer in there.
Guys, respect his parent's wishes. Just, back off.
My studio is in the game room, which also is connected to the kitchen.
Funny, That is exactly were my studio is set up in my house.

I actually use the basement, for several reasons:
1. The only people ever down there are me and my brother (for animating).
2. There's only a tiny window at the far end of the basement.
3. The lights are great for animating down there.

You must tell me how you manage it.
Well the kitchen light doesn't really effect the lighting conditions in my set that much. Do you absolutely positively need the kitchen light to be off?
-Jon64
Yes, I do. It effects my lighting quite a bit.
Hmmm, well if the light isn't coming from behind you then I guess you could put a small peace of cardboard at the edge of you're animating table.

AWWW YEAH
I have officially started animating Sith Tradition. I am getting up at 5:30 AM when everyone is asleep to film without being disturbed
(ugh, the sacrifices we brickfilmers make). I will have pictures up sometime this week and maybe even a small clip.
Edit: Oh yeah, I have a question. Can anyone point me to some good GIMP tutorials? The sig image I got right now was made by a friend, and it is rather dull and uninteresting. I want to make something a little more...epicsauce.

Here BL, theres a lot of cool stuff here:http://www.youtube.com/user/GimpKnowHow
It may seem kind of to precise of projects for what you'd want, but the basic using and knowledge of this guy is helpful.
The link doesn't work.
'Tis a simple matter of copy and paste.
Well yeah, I know that.
I doubt you'll need muzzle flashes, but if you do then MooCJ has a wicked tutorial for them in gimp. Also, unless you have a good way of rotoscoping the lightsabers then you can do it frame by frame in a free program called Paint.NET. Google it.
Dog
I only want GIMP tutorials so I can make a better sig image. I already have LSMaker for lightsabers and MOL for my other SFX.
