Troops

Captain Jyanix Bach joined the Imperial Guard when he saw the news and liked the direction that the Empire was taking. Stationed on patrol on Tatooine he spends his time mainly breaking up fights and looking into minor crimes. This episode of Troops follows him and his unit on several calls; as ever the identities of the "innocent" parties are digitally concealed.

Everyone knows this film, even if they haven't seen it – it sounds like a really good idea for a really funny short film. Indeed for the first half that is what it is – it puts normal life into the extraordinary galaxy of Star Wars. The whole Jawa thing is pretty funny and had me laughing regularly. The second half of the film though is much more about connecting to the Star Wars story and it is this focus that makes the second half less funny, although it is still amusing enough to do for the few minutes it is on. It is all still a good idea though and fans will love it because it is a good spoof, just don't expect it to be as hilarious as you have heard it is.

Overall, a good fan film that is funny enough to support the short running time. It may not be as clever as it would like to be but is amusing and, for a good-looking film made by fans and available for free, it is worth seeing.

This film is so cleverly funny it's hard to explain. You could quite easily fit this into Star Wars IV A New Hope as it explains a couple of things within the film, including who really killed Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru. It also has the thumbs up from George Lucas. If you are a true Star Wars fan you must download this film at all costs. Every Star Wars fan MUST own a copy of this movie!!!!!!

I can't believe how funny this film is. Though only 10 minutes long it compresses the amount of laughs usually found in your average, common or garden "Malcom in the Middle episode." The funniest thing is, that it represents the usual jaded view of the army, and considering it's the Empire then the actions in this film are probably highly commended by the Imperial Military.

Even funnier than when Obi-Wan plays detective "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." And furthermore, not an "I have a bad feeling about this." in sight.

9.5/10 If you haven't seen it then see it.

When I first saw it I couldn't believe this was done by an "amateur crew". You can actually believe it could be some lost footage of the original Star Wars film. Lucas should give these guys a job doing the new sequels. Excellent, hilarious and great fun for everybody. Can't wait for the sequel.

This movie is excellent, although after Peru I think her name is, yells at the Storm Trooper to arrest her husband, there's a bit of voice when the guy turns around. It sounds like "A yoohoo big time", but I can't make it out too well. It's only audible when you raise your sound up (through the sound tool in windows, else your speaker pop will drown it out again) so I'm not too sure if it's been intended to be heard. Anyway, this movie's enough to roll laughter out of your chest, and tears if you crack up easily. Amazing this is only what some everyday people did for a laugh.
