Revelations, and other fan films

While you're entitled to your opinions on the content of Star Wars: Revelations, unfortunately you're off-base in thinking that it (or other notable fanfilms) doesn't deserve an article. Fact is, there are quite a few fanfilms that have pages, and quite a few that used to, but had their pages deleted - however, those that have stayed have stayed because they have been shown to be notable, whereas the ones of lesser note were removed. That's how Wikipedia works for *all* subjects. You can not like the film all you want - I won't argue taste, as that's entirely subjective - but the film is clearly notable for a number or reasons.

You may think that the film violates "spirit of TRADEMARK/COPYRIGHT Law", but the fact that it is in the offical Lucasfilm-sponsored contest shows that Lucasfilm does not view it as such, as the filmmakers in that outlet must sign legal distrbution agreements (with revenue-sharing included) with Atomfilms. The film would not be on the site if Lucasfilm did not approve. And FYI, the makers of Revelations did go on to make films of their own - one that George Lucas personally selected as his favorite two years ago, and currently a new webseries pilot for Disney called Trenches. You want to know what was one of the main reasons he got the Disney job? Star Wars Revelations. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 23:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, they went on to make "Pitching Lucas" (according to IMDB) YET ANOTHER "fan-film" of Star Wars which did recieve an fan-film award. REVELATIONS and PITCHING LUCAS are both skirting originality~Shane Felux and crew really should work on something of their own imagination, not George Lucas'.
