Talk about mixed genres and subjects - this cool little iPOD race animation combines the Mac religion, with a little bit of Santa Clause, with a heaping dose of Star Wars. Short and fun.

This is really weird and sort of strange with some adult overtones. Darth Vader/Weirdo by Chris McD (QuickTime - 6.2 MB). his highly animated music video for the band The Left Rights is both funny and surreal.

Mix together a bunch of "borrowed" Star Wars movie footage with shot sof yourself and what do you have - your own Star Wars homage film,. Check out Alex Strikes Back featuring Alex Hatz.

Star Wars Before & After and all over the web - by 4Video - If you're going to videotape your Star Wars fighting skills on a school camera, remember to remove the cassette when you're done. Originally recorded onto an 8mm tape on November 4, 2002 in the school's studio, the video was never meant to be seen by anyone. After Ghyslain returned the borrowed videotape to his friend, the video sat in a basement for months. On April 19, 2003, Ghyslain's friend stumbled on the tape's secret contents and immediately shared it with friends. They thought it would be a funny prank to encode the video and upload it to Kazaa.

It didn't take long for the online community to remix this clip with full Star Wars special effects and lightsaber noises. Raven Software's Bryan Dube the Star Wars effects on April 24, a mere five days after it originally appeared to the Internet. A week later, both videos were linked on every major gaming- and technology-related website, forum, and chat room online.

We Just Broke the 12 Millionth Video Download on August 15th. Ghyslain is Now the Most Download Man on the Web! Take a Bow Ghyslain, You are Now King of the Internet. Pam Anderson is the Most Downloaded Woman. So Pamy is now your Queen my Friend! Source: http://www.jedimaster.net/original.htm

If you like Star Wars fan films, and even if you don't, you got to check out Duality - produced by Mark Thomas and Dave Macomber, this film was all produced using Blue Screen. They shot Duality using two miniDV cameras— a Canon XL1 and a Canon GL1, both running in progressive (non-interlaced) Frame Movie mode—and transferred the footage to Macs for editing, audio mixing and the computer graphics work—the modeling, matte paintings, and animation. For info about how they made the film, go to the Crew of Two web site. Take the time to download the BIG versions. It looks great.

I am sure you have seen the Mac Switch commercials - but here is one starring Anakin and his switch decision. Check it out

Combine a great animated Star Wars parody with an educational flick about the wonders of conception and you get Tom Newby's Womb Wars. "It's the Miracle of Life meets 'Star Wars'! I've always wanted to do a complete short totally in CG.

There are lots of Star War fan movies and parody shorts floating around the net but how many of them combine humor, Star War's in-jokes with a political agenda? Check out Farm Wars: Attack of the Clones. UK based Mevien Productions (http://www.mevien.com) created a web site and movie for a British animal welfare charity that is a spoof on the new Star Wars movie. The film was designed to try and get across the message of the potential dangers of farm animal cloning and genetic engineering without shoving it down peoples throats.

Their Star Wars spoof movie is all about the rebel alliance investigating Farmer Darth Vaders' Ewok farm. The movie is 10 minutes long and is designed to appeal to a young audience that understands the Star Wars genre (loads of in jokes). The site contains additional information on animal cloning that people can read if they want to.

. Atom Films is hosting a nice selection on their site, including this award winning film, which according to them, was selected as George Lucas' favorite.

What little girl could resist the lure of plastic Star Wars action figures? Christmas Tauntauns is a short (2:35) animated musical that details one little girl's wish to own the entire universe including her very own Millennium Falcon. It is terminally cute.

My favorite is Darth Vader's Psychic Hotline - this short was created by John E. Hudgens and features Claudia Christian from the Babylon 5 TV Show. We all could use a little DV love guidance.

Star Wars Gangsta Rap won the Atom Films audience favorite award. Funny music, great rhymes and nicely made animation proves that everyone can be a down home homey. Where do you stand on the Jar-Jar
