Fan Film: The Force Awakens


"The Force Awakens" Written And Directed By Dan Lalonde

Eight years before J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm began working on the highly publicized Star Wars sequel, The Force Awakens, a Canadian fan by the name of Dan Lalonde created a fan film of the same title.  The film he made is fifty minutes long, and it follows a regular guy who obtains the powers of a Jedi.

The storyline was inspired by Lalonde's love of Star Wars and the 2004 Howard Hughes biopic The AviatorThe story is set in the present day, and it follows an "emotionally troubled recluse who discovers his Skywalker-like abilities when he single-handedly stops a meteor from killing his girlfriend."

It's an extremely amateur film, but it's worth a few laughs for those of watching it, and as far as I'm concerned, the guy who managed to guess the title deserves to draw down some traffic.
"This is a very cheesy fan film I made eight years ago about a Jedi who becomes a recluse like Howard Hughes that is now getting attention for sharing the same name as the new Star Wars movie. "
