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."
Considering George Lucas judges the yearly star wars fanfilms, this seems unlikely.
Behold, another webcomic!
From TFA: Revelations is a non-profit film being made for private use, and is not intended for sales of any sort.
Lucas endorses fan films - I was trying to find more detail, but all i found was here:p ect/

That doesn't mean they're not going to release it at all. Though the private use does make one weary on if we'll ever see it. The article is down and Panic Struck Productions only have the synopsis.
I'm a virgo and on Slashdot. Coincidence? Yes.
like the plot is any big secret?

I'd post a torrent but I don't have a tracker... Perhaps Slashdot should run one for things like these
the Kelly Osborne lookalike's "EVIL voice" was especially weak. I won't be bothering with that. You can slop all the CGI you want over something but if the acting is flat and the cast somewhat aesthetically challenged its simply not fixable.

Question
Is Lucas aware of your film and isn't he going to sue the hell out of you?
Answer: .To answer, I doubt if Lucas himself has seen "Revelations". However ,Lucas is a large supporter for fan films,and is very kind enough to let other inspiring artists play in his backyard, as long as you don't try and make money from his hard work, and respectfully so.
For most people who do not understand fan films we get this question often
"Revelations" is a non-profit film and everyone who worked on the film was a volunteer (no one was paid). The film itself will be availible free to download from TheForce.net and the "Revelations" website to anyone who wishes to watch it.
A great article put out by "Wired" covers some good ground about fan films and here is what Steve Sansweet (Lucasfilm's head of Fan Relations) had to say:
