TK-509 AND ME

review written 7/17/2003

The opening credits were classy and the scene was well-lit. So far, so good. And the fact that we aren't immediately clued in to it being a fan film rather amused me.

This is a little video about a stormtrooper who's finishing his visit to Earth. Actually, it's more about his friend. 'Cause the main character is going to miss his pal TK-509.

What I liked about this film was its almost perverse desire to not make jokes about SW. Most of the movie was just very ordinary friendly bonding where one of the guys happened to be a stormtrooper. (Good music, too.) No lame jokes about clones, or not being able to shoot well. Just two friends.

And that's kind of nice.
