I had a chance this morning to check out some of the fan films Lazlo mentioned:
"Pink 5": couldn't sit through it. Too campy. A little too much "valley girl" for me. Although when she was talking about her "boyfriend" taking her to the asteroid that was really a space-slug- I cracked up.
"Art of the Saber": Excellent! My new #1 for a saber battle. Beats "Ryan vs Dorkman" for me! The forest backdrop is so much more pleasant than the industrial warehouse. Primrodo's "Eclipse" is a strong second.
"Essence of the Force": Very well done. Cute ending.
"Duality": I think this just became my favourite fan film! The effects are movie (if not video game) quality! The only thing I could fault is that the lightsaber strikes look a little telegraphed. The two Sith battling do not truly look like they are trying to kill each other; rather they look as if they are making sure their lightsabers strike each other precisely so no one gets hurt. I realize this is no easy task. Great ending! Never saw that coming! Make sure you watch the credits to the end.
"I.M.P.S.": a fantastic follow-up to "TROOPS". Love that documentary feeling. And it is little things like the AT-AT's reverse warning lights that make this special to me. Well done indeed!
