ABOUT THE SITE

 

SITE HISTORY
This site was founded on June 11, 1999 upon the author noting that there were was an awful lot of hand removal in the Star Wars trilogy. It was stashed on a free Tripod account, and there it remained, amassing media coverage and over 100,000 visitors, until a revamp and re-opening on October 8, 2005.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Adam Bertocci is a radio-television-film alumnus at Northwestern University and a die-hard Star Wars fanatic. He can still recall his first viewing of the epic at the age of eight. He can also recall seeing it on the big screen in 1997, whereupon he was inspired to be a filmmaker.
His other Star Wars fan works include the award-winning fan film Run Leia Run, a Lola rennt crossover starring Will Butler of Arcade Fire, and the award-winning film Brooklyn Force, bringing the galaxy far, far away to the streets of New York.
He is also the co-creator of the very bad fan film Young Jedi: High School Student and sole creator of the somewhat tolerable one Yoda's Demo Reel.
He moderates the Jedi Council Forums at TheForce.Net, wrote for SWFans.Net before its untimely demise, and has voice-acted or otherwise contributed material to a number of fan film and audio productions, most notably an uncredited hologram cameo in Revelations and effects work for Return of Pink Five, Vol. 3.
In his clearly copious spare time he is an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker operating under the banner of Guy in his Basement Productions.
