In case you missed it, the awesome new parody fan film JEDI HUNTER has been getting some press. Check out the Knoxville News for more on this fantasic fan film you can find here in TFN's FAN FILM section:

First there was "Stars Wars: Episode II - Attack of Clones." Then there was "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course." Now there's "The Jedi Hunter."

OK, well maybe it isn't on the same scale. But the local creators of the short film "The Jedi Hunter" have tried to take the best - or at least the funniest - aspects of two cult icons and make movie gold out of them.

"The Jedi Hunter," which debuted at DragonCon in Atlanta earlier this month and can be viewed at www.theforce.net, came together thanks to Adventure Con, a toy and celebrity convention held in June in Knoxville.

Director John Hudgens and his co-writer, Lowell Cunningham, were among a group of friends who spent time with Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, during the convention. While waiting for Mayhew to join them for dinner, they were killing time making jokes.

Thanks to Fenn for the lead!
