2005 Star Wars Fan Film Entries Online

Marty Broxterman writes "The 2005 Official Star Wars Fan Film awards are underway, and the 16 finalists are now online. Three of the best entries are: Sith Apprentice - Darth Vader and other baddies duke it out to be the Emperor's new lackey in this parody of 'The Apprentice' - very funny, and the sequence with Darth Vader's "talent" has to be seen to be believed; Tiny Toys - Where a woman must defend herself from a pint-sized army of Star Wars toys. Almost a Kill Bill parody at times... amusing; and One Season More - a completely CGI rendition of one of the songs from the "Star Wars Musical" that's been floating around the web for a few years - some amazing animation. Voting for the contest takes place here."

    Back in 1999 a friend and I put together Ultracheese-When Senators Attack IV. It garnered praise from the Python-fan crowd, and I'm still proud of it today. If the idea of a completely retarded parody of Episode 1's Trailer sounds like a good idea to you, check it out. www.ultracheese.com

  3. Start Wars Clone Wars.... by Invalid+Character · · Score: 5, Informative
    For anyone who is a fan of animation and Star Wars, i highly suggest taking a look at the Star Wars Clone Wars mini series (directed by Gendy Tartakovski of Sarmurai Jack and Dexter's Lab). Very stylized and very engaging. Sometimes I think Star Wars would have been better off as such a series of cartoons or animations.

    Instead of trying to portray ultra realism (and failing) why dont more producers just make the leap along with the audience of suspending disbelief and making a more interesting and entertaining production through animation?

  4. Damn, those sucked by Aqua+OS+X · · Score: 1, Informative

    Dude, I know those folks put a lot of work into those films, but those were painful to watch. Those two comedies weren't funny at all, and that CGI musical was down right creepy.

    Mod me down if you must.

  5. Worst distribution model EVER by yack0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's completely unwatchable. 40 seconds of sound, one frame. another 40 seconds, one more frame. Useless.

    What's the point of my T3 if they can't serve up the data to me. Pricks.

  6. "A Lost Hope" is better by Captain+Irreverence · · Score: 4, Informative

    What...no Star Wars Episode III: A Lost Hope? It's better...and much, much funnier...than any of these films.
