15 Greatest Star Wars Fan Films Of All Time

1. Star Wars Origins

We've had rogue clone troopers, Sith origins and tales from a scaly bounty hunter but the number one spot is reserved for the most unique and original Star Wars fan film ever made - Star Wars Origins.

Written and directed by Phil Hawkins, this exquisite story took Indiana Jones and Star Wars and smooshed them together like a child with two lumps of Play Dough. However, unlike a toddler's attempt at clay art, this project is an outstanding success with its own take on where the idea for Star Wars came from.

On an archaeological expedition out in the desert, two adventurers come across an old tomb littered with artifacts from a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away). When a rival gang of desert thieves try to disrupt the dig, they have to use everything in their power to stop them.

This genius fan film is like a cinematic Where's Wally for Star Wars props and quotes. Hawkins' attempt to use as many Star Wars references as possible without sounding forced whilst simultaneously telling a completely new Star Wars story is why this takes the number 1 spot as the ultimate fan tribute to Star Wars.

Furthermore, see if you can spot the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones in there as well.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
