Comic Con Movie Challenge Finalists

Every year Atom (short film web channel, and Comedy Central show) hold a competition that's fast become legendry to fans worldwide.

All you have to do is make a short film based around the Star Wars Saga in even the smallest way, the winners receiving an award and getting there film fully recognised and getting the respect it deserves.

Even the great bearded wonder himself (yes you know who I mean) gives a select film his own personal seal of approval.

Probably one of the most famous fan films was one of last years winners, the excellent RVD2 (you can see it on this fansite in the video section)
I have here for your viewing pleasure the 22 finalists for this year. Yes that’s right every single one is here to watch there are a mixed lot some great other not so much, but all capture a bit of fun and genuine affection to the source material.

The winners for this year will be revealed on Saturday 25th at Comic Con. Enjoy!

[Edit; since my connection is having problems loading up all the content I’m going to realise the films in sections - you should hopefully be able to see the first six fan films bellow.]
