Fan-Made Star Wars Spoofs: Bringing the Galaxy to Life on a Budget

In three months, the final Star Wars installment will hit cinemas. Some fans, however, are not content with just watching; they create their own versions. This includes a homemade remake of 'The Empire Strikes Back' by two brothers from Lincoln, Darren and Mark Scales, who shoot, direct, edit, and star in their films. They have also spoofed 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Thanks to affordable technology, such as digital video cameras and editing software, professional filmmaking techniques are now accessible to anyone with a modest budget.
