Videos Star Wars Fan Film Short Film about 7 years agoby Joey Paur

Here’s an interesting Star Wars fan film called Squad Leader TD-73023 that combines the Star Wars franchise with Shakespeare. Here’s the description that came along with the short explaining the purpose of the video:

To be or not to be: Star Wars meets Shakespeare. Hamlet’s famous soliloquy is presented as the inner voice of a Stormtrooper, demonstrating the way Shakespeare’s language still echoes down to us through the centuries and remains as relevant today as ever---not to mention as well in a galaxy far, far away…

The film was created by Maxime-Claude L'Écuyer and it’s a nice little filmmaking exercise that some of you might enjoy. It definitely gives a level of emotion to the Stormtroopers that we’ve never seen before.
