In the last post, JR commented about “the Injured Stormtrooper” with the following:
“This is possibly the funniest fan film ever made. I challenge anyone to find one better.”
Challange accepted.
Kevin Rubio is one of the genuinely funniest people in the business, and due to this gem of a film he made in 1997, he now writes for Dark Horse Comics, penning the amazingly clever and brilliant “Star Wars: Tag & Bink are Dead”, which, if you haven’t read it yet, get it NOW, damnit.
Anyhow, TROOPS is the recent grand daddy of ALL FanFilms, and why so many people decided to make them themselves. Kevin proved it could be done, done well, and funny as Hell.
Also, what makes this film so great is that is shows a really accurate depection of the average Sandtrooper. We’re just guys who joined the Army, and we’re here to serve and protect. Not to mention it also shows a bit more evidence that Sandtroopers did NOT kill the Lars couple.

I say “recent Grand-Daddy” because everyone knows “Hardware Wars” was the first fanfilm made waaaaay back in the late 70s.
