Star Wars Relevations- new film for download
This is not a parody but a 47 minuet movie, with good production values and a decent plot. I've watched and it's pretty damn good enjoy

The latest Star Wars film has been downloaded more than three million times in the last few months and the film-makers are delighted.

But this is not Revenge of the Sith being pirated - it is a so-called fan film called Star Wars: Revelations.

Revelations is a 40-minute long film made by Star Wars fans for fans and it is breaking ground due to the professional polish that has been brought to the production.

"We wanted to produce a high-calibre film," explains director Shane Felux, who lives in South Dakota, in the US.

'Highest level'

"Everything needed to be at the highest level we could do. A lot of fan films can do this, the question is: Are you making a film to shoot in your back yard for fun? And if so, great.





"But are you trying to make a film and go for professional production? If so, it's a whole different mind set."

Revelations looks and feels like a professional production because it was made by professionals - but it was made by people in their own time and not for profit.

Impressive visual effects, professional lighting and sound, scores of extras and extravagant costumes and locations all give the film a lustre missing from most fan movies.


Just get the hell out of my way because I'm going to do it myself
Shane Felux
The acting and script may not be always effective - but the same criticism has been levelled at Revenge of the Sith.

1. The Pink Five series is better.
This does have nice CGI, but the acting is...um...passable.

But yeah, that's true of the new trilogy, too (I only saw Phantom Menace, could not care less after that piece of dreck).

unless you have a better one.


free is always good and I thought 40 minutes is a bargain for the price of
free.

3. I've seen both series.
I somewhat liked the prod values in Rev, though it was a bit dark and saturated for my taste. The acting and story, though...well, little worse than the new films, so like you say, free is good!
