Final Chapter of Pink Five To Be Released On January 2013
An anonymous reader writes "After a successful funding run at Kickstarter, the final chapter of the Star Wars fan film Pink Five is committed to a release date of January 1, 2013. Great news for the followers of this great webseries."
I loved the Pink Five series and it always made me sad the saga wasn't finished. I'm really looking forward to the last part of Episode VI.
"Talk to the hand, you must!"
a) It's got something to do with Star Wars
b) It's got something to do with Kickstarter
c) Absolutely nothing of any other even remotely scientific interest happened today
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.

It seems this project is pretty safe legally.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
I can't wait until Slashdot announces the when the exciting conclusion to my Naruto / Captain Planet crossover fanfiction comes out!
Thank god that they don't let the fear of bullying prevent them from doing something that is perfectly legal and appropriate.
If they would have knuckled under to the possibility of a letter from a lawyer, they would have let assholes win and sometimes, that's all the reason you need.
Whenever I see a "fan" movie, I think of the mind-warping "Karen Carpenter Story" made by the great Todd Haynes. No Hollywood studio was going to touch such an unauthorized biopic, so the guy ended up making it with barbie dolls and cheap video at his house, even in the face of threats (empty) from the Carpenter estate and legal trolls and it ended up being something wonderful (though not for everyone's taste).
Not everything has to cater to the expectations of Hollywood norms. Not everything has to satisfy everyone. I could give a shit about Star Wars, but I salute anyone who puts that kind of work into their vision of something, not because it's great art, but because they followed through on something that wasn't easy and almost certainly was a lot of fun to make. Who knows, maybe the next "fan" movie will be something great and enduring, or at least inspiring.
I really, really don't want to think that there's some artist out there, or even hobbyist who will hesitate or not do some work, even something as trivial as "Star Wars fan fiction", because legal industry trolls have stifled them.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Clueless meets Star Wars is not a good combination.
Watched the first episode. It was... bad.
By the end of the fourth, I found myself wishing there were more.
As usual, it takes time (and episodes) for the script to become more relaxed, for the characters to click, and for the humour to start being, well, humorous. In a way, Pink Five reminded me of The IT Crowd and The Big Bang Theory. The first couple of episodes sucked, let's be honest. Everything felt forced and stiff. Later on, the shows evolved and they became funny.
Here's to the fifth episode, and maybe more!
Agreed on the first episode. They should probably remake it.
The second episode is only slightly better.
But then episode three starts hitting on all cylinders as a comedy.
And all the sudden, after that the character came alive (partially her acting of the character got better and plus the character grew up and the writing got better). The writers hit the line between goofy and cool more consistently.
There were still some over the line parts (like her ship breaking the way it did in the deathstar 2 bay) (but they seem to like it since they put it in their trailer- I thought it was a bit dumb).
The last episode was quite good tho still not professional level- it was better than the anakin skywalker episode 1,2,3 series (how could so many excellent actors be bullied in to acting so poorly in one series of films)
Despite the fact that lucas has sucked over time, his willingness to allow fan films has been a great positive.
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
