REVIEWS

I review only completed films. I do not review trailers (unless the film is itself a trailer), effects tests, audio dramas or random fan fiction. I generally stick to Star Wars fan films only. I do not consider commercially available films like Spaceballs and Thumb Wars fan films.

I tend to prefer comedies to "serious" fan films. I favor originality and seeing something new, but at the same time, it's not what you do, it's if you do it well that matters.

(On a more specific note, I like to talk about use of colors a lot, and I'm a stickler for typography (use of fonts). Take that as you will.)

Film reviews will be organized under the revolutionary and groundbreaking system known as "alphabetically". And because this is a Star Wars site, we will rate films with... letter grades. (See, the joke is that you were supposed to think I'd say "stars".) But no, I use letter grades, from A+ to F.

A+ is for near-perfect fan films... and I mean the best of the best here.
The A range is for sheer brilliance in fan filmmaking, the really special movies.
The B range is for solidly made stuff.
The C range is for just your average fan film. Just like at college, kids.
The D range is for shoddy stuff that doesn't seem to have much effort put into it.
If I have to give a flick an F, I'm gonna be pissed, people.

Films are judged not against each other, but against their potential. A grade of B+ for a quick spoof made by high school kids is different than a grade of B+ for a drama made by professionals on expensive equipment. I try to keep things fair.

I try not to include spoilers (hence all the timecodes—you'll see).

Assume that something is primarily a SW fan film unless noted. When noted, it is because I feel a substantial portion of the film is spent on the style or universe of the source material—not just a throwaway reference. It must be a specific source material title—not just, for example, "commercials" or "game shows".

Want to see just the best of the best? Click here for the "Adam Recommends" stuff — the cream of the crop, in my opinion.
