A Clone Apart

I am a certified geek, and as a card carrying member, can admit to actually liking the Star Wars series. Yes, even the ones with Jar Jar Binks. The thing is, Star Wars lends itself so well to spoofs, even the bits when it is trying to be funny. One of the more imaginative ones is Blue Harvest using the characters from the cartoon series Family Guy. With the increasing prevalence of video games containing graphics and physics engines, however, it is now possible to create your own films on the computer, an art form called machinima. A great example of this is 'A Clone Apart', a funny romp through the Star Wars universe using the Star Wars: Battlefront II engine. It is now up to Episode III and with any luck will make it beyond the film series which spawned it!
