15 Greatest Star Wars Fan Films Of All Time

15. The Dark Resurgence

Released in May 2018, Michael McCumber wrote, directed, produced and edited his Sith centred fan film titled The Dark Resurgence.

The Dark Resurgence is an all-out action adventure ride set after Return of the Jedi. With the Rebels struggling to come together and bring in a new dawn of peace, an old Sith empire emerged from the shadows lead by Lord Vycus.

This fan film ticks all the fan service boxes when it comes to a Star Wars film. A lightsaber battle between the Dark side and the Light, Rebel soldiers blasting Stormtroopers and plenty of force choking. Sure, Lord Vycus' delivery is a little bit cheesy and some of the lines feel recycled and familiar, but that doesn't take anything away from the fun of the film.

The prologue for this fan film was extremely well written and gives off a very strong Lord of the Rings vibe. In addition, the visual effects used are truly stunning and set up a unique take on what the Galaxy was like after the second Death Star's destruction.
