Okay guys and gals, you all have to check out I-Film.com's Star Wars Fan Film section. I went to the Chicago Comic-Fest last weekend and found bootleg DVD's of the films for sale. The two they were selling at the convention were called "Star Wars:Duality" and "Star Wars:Emergence of the Sith." They were made by people just like you and me who are also fans of Star Wars, just as we are.
You can go to ifilm.com to stream them. I did a yahoo search for both titles and returned a wealth of sites relating to the films. They are incredible, especially when you remember that Lucas had nothing to do with them and they were made by a few "average Joes."
Another film, not related to Star Wars, that was also on Bootleg DVD at the "fest" was called "Batman:Dead End." It was made by a Hollywood stunt man who spent $30,000 and called in every favor he could think of to make an incredible Batman film as a resume for himself as a director. The movie consists of Batman fighting the Joker when all of the sudden a big-ass "Alien" (think Sigourney Weaver as Ripley) and a bunch of Predators (think Arnold Schwarzennegar) show up in the same alley.
These are incredible fan films that I didn't even know existed until 2 days ago. They are incredibly well made and I highly recommend that you track them down and watch them. It will be well worth your download time.

Why is is that every time I type a capital "d", it changes into a smiley face? Every smiley you see in the post above is supposed to be a capital letter "d".

Very cool Speed! I'll search those movies. They sound interesting!
As for the "D" It is a code for one of our smilies, " + D will get you a smilie, unfortunatly. There is no way I can change that, but if you dont want to use any smilies in a post, and want the " + D to come up correctly, there is a checkbox on our post screen to disable smilies, just click that.
Also, I edited your last post as the string of DDDDDD's w/ no space stretched longer then the width of the tread, so I took a few D's out, not a big deal!

So have any of you checked out Emergence of the Sith or Duality? I'm serious! It's worth the D/L time!

Hey myke....u might want to have people not post the name of "that place" or talk about downloading stuff like that off the net...at least openly like that....just because Koz has pointed out at the kapt's table that techinically using that service to d/l stuff is mostly illegal....and if someone at proboards wanted to be picky it could be considered a tos violation and get TR deleted....and I know u wouldnt want that...lol

Note taken, and it's a good point. I don't believe it with the passion Koz does, but youre right, it's not worth the risk. Thanks, ~Myke
