I saw Star Wars for the first time in 1993. In 1992, my sister had dressed me up as Princess Leia for a Halloween-in-July party, but the one time that I had really been given the opportunity to see those movies before 1993, I chose instead to read a biography of Robert E. Lee instead. But in '93, a movie theater opened its doors with a marathon of the movies and my mother insisted that we all go. Almost 20 years later, I still spend more geek brain cells on Star Wars than any other franchise: I analyze the choreography of lightsaber duels; I make up drinking games to use on May the Fourth Be With You; I have a Star Wars lunchbox and wear my Darth Vader Was Framed shirt on a regular basis, and I fanfic gratuitously. While I went literary on Star Wars, there are many people who took one hundred looks at the Galaxy Far Far Away and decided to make their own movies, sometimes to "fix" and sometimes to flatter. George Lucas even sponsored an official contest for these projects with the grand prize of the George Lucas Selects award going to the outright winner. With all due respect to George, we've known since the writing of The Empire Strikes Back that some of the best work on Star Wars is by those who took what George created and just ran with it, and here are ten fanfilms that prove my point.
