fanfiction is something one guy can bang out on his laptop

by its very nature a fan film is a collaborative effort. it isn't just one weird guy frittering away his life masturbating, it's a bunch of people spending their weekends and god knows how much money on a lovely movie that will be C&D'd out of existence the one time they try and show it at a local comic book convention but coming up with original stuff is hard and oh man the world has to experience their vision of Batman sexually assaulting a man in prison before killing himself or Megaman as a pudgy asian college student in CGI armor

Narratively speaking, I hope. That moon is going to collide with the planet if it gets any closer, and the tidal forces should have blown Onderon to smithereens by now. Dxun is close enough to Onderon that they share the upper levels of their atmospheres.

fan films are the saddest loving thing, it's basically everybody involved admitting that they can't hack it in the real world so instead they ride the coattails of a popular thing in exchange for never being able to profit off of or even officially show the drat thing

To be honest, most of the early fan films were mostly portfolio work. One of the enlightening ones was "Grayson", where the director even made a making of video where he broke down what it took, how he cast the film, how he budgeted his film, etc. The point is that guy already had done some commercial work (the guy he cast for Superman, for instance, was a guy he used previously as a football player for a cable TV commercial) inbetween waiting tables as most Hollywood folk do, so he made it to flesh out his demo reel.

Please tell me there is more story behind the guy in the hovering bubble pod. He was in another picture, where Leia is getting married to someone and she is shooting laser beams out of her eyes into the groom.

Also I remember reading a book where Luke and Leia land on some desert planet that is not-Dune. Luke fights some alien that is not the millions of tiny sandworms(maybe they were bugs) as a collective conscious that feed on the force, trying to escape the planet? Leia is also captured by a Hut who runs the planet and they both fight each other with lightsabers.

you know, say what you want about tri-oculus and lightsaber knee guy and all the other really goofy poo poo, they are at least a gonzo effort to do something sort of different within the milieu of start warts.

this is just a cynical "oh hey zombies are big now, what if we did these star wars, but with zombies?"

fanfilm chat: Troops, the granddaddy of all fanfilms, was legit good and had amazing production values for the time it came out, and it's all been downhill from there.

I don't mind them picking one seemingly unimportant planet and having it be disproportionately important. For example, Tattooine. Or Dagobah. It's when they have more than one that it becomes blatant attempts to cash in on famous locations as opposed to having to create your own.

It is Hissa, and that's Zorba the Hutt he has tied up. Hissa is trying to find Leia so he can marry her to Trioculus, who was a three-eyed self-declared son of Palpatine, and he captures Zorba the Hutt and Zorba says he'll give away Leia's location in exchange for his freedom. Once Hissa has the location of Leia, he throws Zorba in the Sarlacc pit on Tattoine rather than set him free, but Zorba survives since the Sarlacc can't digest Hutt flesh.

i can't believe i read all these terrible words and the most prominent take away in my dumb brain is: why is it important that trioculus get to marry leia?

It was okay. I was with it until they put Han Solo and Chewbacca into the book, I was just looking foward to a side-tale with new characters. It really didn't need Han and Chewie in it.

They also made a sequel called "Red Harvest", but I haven't read it yet.
