I didn’t realize before that there were so many Star Wars<\/strong> fan films — and so many great ones. I’ve already mentioned SC 3, 5, 16, 29, 38 Reimagined<\/strong><\/a> and Darth Maul: Apprentice<\/strong><\/a>. Here are a few others that are extraordinary.<\/p>\n

\n

{5\/5} The Battlefield<\/p>\n

This is a very short film but it’s absolutely hilarious. It’s a conversation between two stormtroopers while there’s a battle going on near them. The one has never met a Jedi before and doesn’t realize what the deal is when they hear the sounds of a lightsaber. Written and directed by Peter Haynes.<\/p>\n

{4.5\/5} The Fair Trade<\/p>\n

This is a little slice of life on Tatooine involving our old friends C-3PO and R2-D2. C-3PO’s voice is a bit distracting. It relies on a surprise ending that I’m not sure is entirely warranted. But it’s fun, and the visuals and music are well done. Written and directed by Marty Sliwinski<\/span>.<\/p>\n

{5\/5} Kenobi<\/p>\n

This tells the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine after Episode III<\/strong>. It also features Beru, Owen, and a young Luke. It’s exciting, and fits in perfectly with what we know. It has splendid on-location filiming, and some music that John Williams would appreciate. Written by Jamie Costa, Jason Satterlund, and Rob Harmon<\/span>. Directed by Jason Satterlund<\/span>.<\/p>\n

{5\/5} Star Wars Origins<\/p>\n

You won’t believe a fan film can be this amazing until you see this. It’s a clever homage to both Indiana Jones<\/strong> and Star Wars<\/strong>. The visuals, both the desert exteriors and mysterious interior, are stunning. The music is John Williams inspired. Lead actor Marie Everett is terrific. Written and directed by Phil Hawkins.<\/p>\n

{4.5\/5} Vader Episode I: Shards of the Past<\/p>\n

This takes place after Episode III, when Darth Vader is still struggling with anger about Padm\u00e9’s death. It ends a bit abruptly. The actors who play the Emperor and Darth Vader do a great job. The visuals are terrific, and it contains some beautiful John Williams music. Written by Danny Ramirez, Star Wars Theory, and Nikolaj Wejp-Olsen. Directed by Danny Ramirez.<\/p>\n
