Star Wars Fan Film

Troopers
Fan Film from 1997
I heard about this on CBS' nightly news sometime in the last week and only now had a chance to view it. Star Wars Revelations is an impressive fan film, made with devoted fans from around the world who donated time and equipment. And after the creators put up $20,000 (mostly to buy a camera) they have made it available for free with the blessing of George Lucas. While it is a bit campy, what do you expect from a fan film, I did enjoy watching it. They try to fill in some gaps that they saw in the storyline bridging the gap between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Well worth the time to download and watch. And its as good as Troops from 1997. That is if you've seen it, if not the story of Troops is "While being filmed for the hit Imperial TV show TROOPS, Stormtroopers from the infamous Black Sheep Squadron on patrol run into some very familiar characters." Do yourself a favor, if you haven't already, take time and view both of these.

Troopers is approx. 10 min. long
Revelations is approx. 45 min. long
