Star Wars Fan Film

I realize that this blog is Star Trek oriented but I was very intrigued with a group of fans creating a new live action original Star Wars film. "Star Wars Secret of the Rebellion" is an story taking place within the general time frame of the first Lucas film (now called "Star Wars IV: A New Hope"). Filming has been completed in front of green screens, and is now going through the critical and laborious long special effects and computer generated image process, is currently planned to be released at the end of 2008.



With a very large cast and crew, most of the original characters return with the exception of Luke, C-3PO and Obi Wan plus some new additions. All cast members are unknowns and fresh but still keeping the look, flavor and feel as close as possible to the original. These fan based films are very cool and there are multiple examples throughout the internet. Some are pretty lame but there are a couple of surprisingly good works to be found.
