9/10
It is just really funny even after almost twenty years

This one of the oldest fan films in history for it was made in 1997 and despite that we have seen many fan over the years and nowadays even fan made series this is one of the projects that started this homage to some of the most influential films, television series, books and comics.

To the story, it follows a group of storm troopers who are looking for R2-D2 and C3-PO after our brave droids have escaped to Tatoine and the makers made it like a cop search and has the troopers even talk to the camera like they are filmed by a reporter. OK when that started I was laughing my ass off and also encounter a uncle and aunt of someone known from this desert planet then I almost fell from my chair.

What I also liked much about this little project was the costume of the Troopers, the sand people and to the vehicle the troopers are using. Are very much like the movie and a blast from their blasters look so fake that you can but admire their try to make it as close to the real deal as possible for they do it really well.

When I saw it again (It is available on Youtube by the way) I was thinking who much excited those guys and girls much had to be for Lucas had promised them since 1989 a continuation of this epic saga and with the new flick been in the working since 1994 EVERYONE was in wanting. What of a let down the much have had when they went to the theaters in that Mat of 1999!

Over all go watch it is really funny and you won't regretted after wards unlike with the prequels...eh what pieces of junk!
