Ive seen a lot of fan film, ALL are well intentioned  but many are painfully amateurish…. kids in costume in their local park banging  toy sabers together…. fanboys in front of a green screen, using the camcorders mike…

There was the classic TROOPS, whos producers wisely played to their weaknesses, that since they were shooting on video why not just make it look like an episode of the TV show COPS…?

This “Empire Falls” looks like they were copying the look seen the “Force Awakens” trailer……  they really did a good job BUT arent the troopers now retconned to be clones of Jango Fett and if they DO mix in new recruits don’t they  give the newbies haircuts? Still I give this an A for effort and a B-plus for execution!

And lets not forget the first ever Star Wars fan film:
