The interesting thing is that the (cough) acting is about on a par with Lucas’s most recent efforts.

This some sort of attempt at anti-smoking spam?

Not funny, try again.

I think he got his links confused, and was actually talking about [this](http://www.theforce.net/theater/shortfilms/seedsofdarkness/index.shtml).

The Star Wars fanfilm community is extensive and highly creative. Though it seems to be primarily made up of geeky people who can’t act, and who all want to be Jedi Knights fighting in a forest.

Sorry about that. Guanolad has the right link. I was saving the JoeChemo pic between previewing and forgot to dump it before posting the Star Wars link.
