To what lengths will two teens go to convince their superfan friend that they lived a “Star Wars: From the Shadows” and it’s a fun little short that’s worth your time to give a look.

If you’re a regular reader here, you know that I love fan films but what I especially love about this one is the style. I love the immersive nature of mixing the Star Wars story with today’s real world, the infamous Star Wars text scroll in the beginning, and the playfulness of it all. It reminds me of The Neverending Story and similar tales from childhood where fantasy meets reality and it all blends into one fun, exciting story.
