Slashdot Mirror


Star Wars: Revelations Available Online

Lemming Mark writes "Panic Struck Productions have just released their first Star Wars movie, 'Revelations.' The movie has been produced on a not-for profit basis by a team of volunteers and is available for free download. Despite its humble origins, the production appears extraordinarily professional. The film is over 40 minutes long, complete with space battles and lightsaber fights -- need I say more? See more details at the official site, or jump straight to the download mirrors." (As promised last month.)

  4. Lil SW Joke by ikkibr · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obi-Wan and Luke were both very hungry after their long speeder trip to that wretched hive of scum and villiany, Mos Eisley. They settled themselves in a cantina and ordered a big dinner of noodles, rice, sweet and sour dewback, and other oriental style goodies.
    The food soon arrived and they set to. Obi-Wan handled his chopsticks deftly, quickly and securely picking up a noodle here, a prawn ball there. He soon sat back satisfied, and let out a quiet burp.
    Luke, on the other hand, was in a right state. He just couldn't get the hang of the sticks, and had dropped far more food on the table and down his front than he had managed to get into his mouth. He sat, surrounded by rice and noodle debris, still as hungry as when he started.
    Seeing his pupil in such distress, the Jedi Master leant over to dispense some of the wisdom of his years.
    Use the forks, Luke he whispered, Use the forks.

      I made "Funny" comments lost 4 points. Seriously, it has made reading comments on Slashdot (the best part of the site: much more fun than the articles/stories themselves) much better. Since I read comments only 1 and up, all the +2,+3,+4 "funny" comments are gone, and I get an occational "+5, Funny" comment modded down to a 1.

      When I moderate, I read at -1, and I do see a couple statements that are truly funny (and occationally mod those up), but seriously, SO many comments were labeled "funny" that I just couldn't take it anymore.

    No kidding!

    The music, sound effects and visual special effects are excellent; remarkably well done and I'd say better than most big-budget Hollywood productions. Amazing!

    However, the acting is almost painful. This one comes off like a small town theatre group led by a soap-opera director. I keep expecting Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to pop up and start making jokes at any moment.

    By the way, who's the second actress? The chick on the telescreen/command deck who makes her appearance around 00:02:00. I can't tell if that's Xena Warrior Princess, Anna Nicole Smith with a black wig, or Monica Lewinski or maybe all three morphed together. Wierd. Go look for yourself. (If it's Xena, go back to kicking butt and subplots. If it's Anna, that diet didn't last long. If it's Monica, then girl you should stick to what you, um... err..., do best and leave the acting to professionals.)

    Keep the dorks BEHIND the camera. The effects are great for fan fic. The acting is worse than a high school production. I too am a nerd, but damn, the acting is HORRID. Please, dear MIT students, just make the characters CG. They'll be more endearing.
