_ star wars fan films ____________

If you've found your way to this site, it's a safe bet that you are a Star Wars fan.  I know you'll find something here that you'll truly enjoy, and appreciate.  As you watch these films, there's something that you should always keep in the back of your mind:

These film-makers cannot profit from these films!

So, why do they make them?  For many reasons - for fun, to showcase their talents - you name it.  These people put a ton of time, effort, and money into making fan films, knowing all along that they can't make money from the films.  So, one thing I urge people to watch out for is other people that try to profit from these films.  Don't buy these films at conventions, on e-bay, etc.  Why bother when you can have them for free off of the internet?

On the other hand, some of the creators of these films are also involved in their own, original projects where they CAN profit from them.  If you find a film you like, be sure to check out the web-site of the maker involved if possible.  They may have projects that they're working on where they're tring to secure backing, they may be looking for a job in the film industry, etc.
