Was there a Star Wars short film made?

[Will Hay]

A pal of mine was telling me about a Star Wars short film he'd seen somewhere, something about from the perspective of a stormtrooper.
Anyone else heard of this?
I understand, although I could be wrong, it was an offical release in the 1980's but got pulled soon after airing.
Anyone shed any light on it?
Thanks,
Will

Never heard of that one. There was one that came out in the 80's as a Christmas Special which focused on the wookies, but I doubt that is what your friend is talking about.

There was also an article in the UK press a few years back about an amatuer filmaker who made a short star wars film, he hired out the local cinema to show it, never heard of any others.

I seem to think there were some specifics regarding the workings of a lightsabre..
...I'll give him a call and post back.
