Star Wars Revelations - May the Force Be With You!
n0alpha writes "For all you Star Wars fans out there, if you've been less than satisfied with the last two episodes of Star Wars, fear not. There is a new episode coming out soon -- but I'm not talking about Revenge of the Sith. On April 16th, 2005 the world will be blessed with a brand new episode, Star Wars Revelations. This is an independent film, completely put together by volunteers and organized by Panic Struck Productions, but don't let that fool you into thinking it is sub-par. Visit their website to view a trailer."
..."copyright infringement" written all over it.
After all, I am strangely colored.
That is the first exciting Star Wars news I've heard in a long time! ...and just when I had started to give up.
FoundNews.com - get paid to blog.,
Since you said it was NOT by George Lucas, I was not tending to think it was sub-par already.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Now if only somone would make a fanfilm involving the horrific death of jar-jar...
Behold, another webcomic!
Hope they weren't storing all their footage on the server /. just melted down.
At first I was taken aback by the cheezy dialog ("she lied to me! She used me!"), adequate acting, and overall look. Then I remembered Jar-Jar. This band of rebel filmmakers may be the galaxy's best last hope.
Hell, he'll win me back if he makes "Sith" nothing more than a 2 hour extremely bloody high body count Gungan snuff flick. The only time the Gungan slaughter stops is when the Ewoks show up and they become the target.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Alas, poor website! I knew it, Horatio: a site of infinite uptime, of most excellent fancy: it hath borne me on its pages a thousand times; and now, how absent in my browser it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those graphics that I have watched I know not how oft. Where be your scripts now? your applets? your stylesheets? your flashes of gif animation, that were wont to set my bandwidth on a groan?

"I see your Shwartz is as big as mine!"
When reached for comment about a new fan-created film, Mr. D. Vader, a spokesperson for LucasFilms released the following statement: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed, the ability to host a file is no match for the power of the Slashdot force."
Here come da fudge!
is not with their server... It fell to the dark side.
how to make a parody of a Star Wars film:
1. Make a film in the Star Wars universe.
2. Hire good actors, and give them good direction.
3. Profit. Fear no copyright infringement.

What we really need is Spaceball 2 to hit the big screens. Of course, some people might be saying, "Oh, no... not again!" :P

I think this is part of a conspiracy by George Lucas to make the acting and dialogue in Episode III seem a whole lot better.

My heart goes out to the poor admin--I just hope they don't have any daylies on the same machine.
Another bantha poo star wars flick...
Insert something witty here...
Some fanbois thought it would be cool to have two 'hot chix' as jedi's, cause that would be hot.
But once you view the trailer you can see they failed miserably to deliver the hotness.
So there really is no point in watching it.
Now I've seen Everything
A million geeks cheering in joy and were suddenly silenced. By a million lawyers.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Some people are like slinkys. They're useless, but it puts a smile on your face to push them down the stairs.

Natalie Portman sucks? Wow! Now that's 'News For Nerds'!

I just wish they'd pick a good hairdresser.
... but wait ... all the male actors have hair right out of the local teen boy-band concert! Gah!
This has bugged me ever since the first Star Wars film. They're flying around in spaceships, wearing funky clothing, fighting light-saber duels, etc., and I'll be suspending my disbelief just fine,
C'mon guys, either make the hair (1) really weird (the female actors seem to have this down), or (2) mind-bendingly conservative (pick something that hasn't changed in 1500 years, like shaving it all off). At least stop using Tiger Teen Beat as your model.
We live, as we dream -- alone....
Yeah, I agree. The voice acting was right up there with B-List porn. Add some chickabowwow guitar riffs to that dual-saber fight and you'd have the perfect lead-in to the obligatory girl-on-girl scene.
Oh come on! Tell me you weren't thinking the same thing. You're a perverted bastard and you know it.
From the looks of the pictures on the website, I'm guessing that the stromtroopers they used were fans who happened to bring their own stormtrooper armor. Which would be fine, except that one seems a little too tall, and another is very short.
On Bespin: "Hey check out those stormtroopers! They look a little odd..."
On Tatooine: "Uhhh... aren't those the same... naah!"
On Coruscant: "It's those same three stormtroopers again! Wow, those guys get around!"
Have you seen George Lucas's hair? Is it any wonder they all look like Jack from Three's Company?

They are doing very very well in most of the technical aspects, but they forgot the guy with the directional boom mike. And when you do that, no matter how good the movie it sounds like a porno. And when it sounds like a porno, everyone thinks the actors act like they are in a porno and start bagging on the acting.
Much of the bad acting are the vocals not being recorded and compressed properly. Hopefully a decent sound guy will step up and help them fix it!
In the far distant galaxy mankind has the technology to make virtually anything fly. Whether it be spaceships the size of states or tiny little orbs.
And yet they continue to make robots of all shapes and sizes that roll on wheels, walk or stumble around trying to get up stairs.
evil is as evil does
Dear God man- are you a prancing fairy or what?! I've acted, stage managed, and directed from high school to regional theatre and you just sound like a prat from Juliard who has about zip talent and all the "theory".
Mentioning that you are trying to win an award is about as bad as it get (your international multimedia award). Until you get it, do not speak about it, because I am working on an Emmy, even though I am not attractive, can't act well, but I took an acting class! And hell almighty- you think yogup.com is the "cream of the crop"? It's freakin' the sim "Life" with penis looking animations.
I just checked your comments to stories, and I see that you were a teacher. I guess that explains most of your leanings.
I'm sure you are a nice guy and all, but you do come off as very pretentious.
Cheers!
