STAR WARS Fan Film SMUGGLER'S RUN — Set Between Episodes IV and V

View fullsize

I love that Star Wars has sparked the imagination of fans around the world. It's hard to imagine a world without Star Wars, and one of the things I enjoy most is how it inspired fans to go out and create their own art and films based on the universe that George Lucas created.

We have a very cool fan film for you to watch today that was written and directed by Oliver Thompson. It's called Smuggler's Run and it was filmed on location at the original Star Wars sets in Tunisia. It's an original story that is set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. 

They used guerilla filmmaking techniques to make the film and did all of the post-production on a MacBook Pro. It was shot over the course of 14 months, and they filmed in six countries with a cast and crew from all over the world.

It's a pretty impressive feat, and this is the outcome.

This is the (2015) Special Edition of Star Wars Fan Film Smuggler's Run. This new version features revised edits, SPFX and a greatly improved finale. Using CG we have even recreated actor Alec Guinness in the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Thanks to all 30,000 people that watched the older (2013) version of this project online!
