Full Director's Cut of the Star Wars Fan Film TK-436: A STORM TROOPER STORY
Earlier this week Lucasfilm announced the winner of their Star Wars Fan Film Awards. The winner of Filmmaker Select award went to a film called TK-436: A Stormtrooper Story. This short was awesome, and it’s easy to see why it won the top award.
The film tells the gritty tale of an Imperial stormtrooper who is forced to confront his past in the heat of a battle. I like that it tells the personal story of a Stormtrooper and shows that even though they look like disposable soldiers, they are real people with real lives.
The version that was submitted to Lucasfilm for the competition was only 5 minutes long, but there’s a director's cut that has been released that is over 12-minutes long, and you can watch it below. If you liked the short version then you'll definitely enjoy the long one.
The film comes from directors Samtubia and Samgoma Edwards and they made a great Star Wars movie! To watch all seven of the short film winners, click here.
