Q: Is this an official Disney Lucasfilm Star Wars project?
Answer:
NO. This is a fan-made film created by fans for fans, and it has no affiliation with Disney Lucasfilm. Our Executive Producer has over two decades of experience in filmmaking due to her involvement in the field of video games. As a result, she has an extensive list of contacts in the world of film, so she began to request assistance from individuals in the industry on her quest to continue the Skywalker Saga. The participation of the talent in this film stems from a deep love for the franchise, a sentiment shared by every single member of this nearly 50-person crew.
Q: Are these films going to be full-length features?
Answer:
YES. Each of the three films in our program will be between 2 and 2.5 hours in length.
Q: Is there really going to be a TV show as well?
Answer:
YES. Star Wars: The In Between is a series of shorts that will be around 15 minutes in length, give or take. The series will tell the story of the content gap that exists in between each of the movies.
Q: Are these projects going to be done in live-action?
Answer:
NO. Lucasfilm has very specific guidelines regarding the use of their intellectual property (IP) in fan films, making it one of the most accommodating companies towards fan filmmakers. In live-action fan films, only original characters may be used; existing characters are prohibited. Since we intend to continue the Skywalker Saga, and animation is the only medium where we can use existing characters, it is the best way to assure we adhere to these guidelines.
Q: Are all the films and TV episodes going to be done in the same animation style?
Answer:
NO. Episodes 10, 11, and 12 will be created using motion graphic animation. In addition to motion graphic animation and 2D/3D animation, the television series will also feature live comics, audio dramas, and audible-style novelizations.
Q: How can you create content from someone else's intellectual property? Doesn't that break copyright laws?
Answer:
The United States Copyright Laws make it illegal to create content that is not rightfully yours; however, when George Lucas founded Lucasfilm, he was a major supporter of his fans. He inspired many to create content for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and he created space for those stories by establishing an entire division within Star Wars known as the “expanded universe” where all fans could freely play and imagine. He established a set of 82-page guidelines and principles for the use of his content. Disney has continued Lucasfilm’s commitment to fan films. We take considerable care to ensure that these guidelines are followed.
Q: When is the first film due to be released?
Answer:
We’re tentatively looking at December 17, 2024 for our full movie release of Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X). The following movies will hopefully release on a 2-year schedule after this first. The TV Series is tentatively set to release the first episode of the first season on January 2025.
Q: I am a ______ or I have certain skills, can I work with you guys?
Answer:
MAYBE. We will be posting any openings we have on our website here as well as on Casting Call Club, Backstage, and IMDBPro for performers and more. Check back soon to see if there may be an opening that you could apply for.
Q: Did you create all the music for these films yourselves? If so, can I download the soundtrack?
Answer:
- YES. We have created all original music for our films and TV shows. You will be able to purchase the full soundtrack on Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple iTunes, and on our website when the soundtrack is finished and released.
