It never ceases to amaze me how much time people have on their hands. Ever since the first Star Wars film, fans have dusted their trusty handycams and created fan films in their closet, bathroom, gazebo, you name it.
The best so far is Star Wars: Revelations. This is not your typical Star Wars Kid type of fan movie, but forty minutes of special effects virtually indistinguishable from production film. I tip my hat to these folks that dedicated three years of their lives on this. Impressive.
But my favorite is Sith Apprentice, a more comedic piece of work. If you religiously watch The Apprentice, this film will have you rolling around hysterically on the dirty carpet picking up bits of cereal and cracker jacks.
Personally I have a few fan films up my sleeves, including a Nightmare on Carlota Street, where I was an elementary school student running away from Freddy Kreuger around the house. Maybe I’ll post a video of it later. 😎
