Researching SW Fan Films released in 2005.

Hello, i'm attempting to research Star Wars Fan Films, but in the select time frame of just around the release of RotS. The idea is to compare/contrast the themes/memes expressed in those Fan Films to the SW Referencing TV/Movies of that time frame, early/mid 2005.

Right now the only definitely way I have of determining if a Fan Film came out in that time frame is to research the individual webpages which kuatengineer's archive has linked to. Another idea is to examine forums like these to find those Fan Films.

The search through FanFilms.net provides the following extremely helpful list:

The fanfilm / Lightsaber Choreography Competition entry Eclipse was release on Jan. 1, 2005. Thematically it was based on the notion that Jedi may fall to the Dark Side in order to survive. Subsequently it dealt with what a responsible Jedi might do if they realized what they had done.

Wow.
And I thought I'd been doing a good job of watching a lot of fanfilms. There goes that silly little delusion.

Technically I finished Furious Angels in 2005, save for all the special effects. The only reason I didn't get to release was because of all the pesky lightsabers (and that I decided to revamp it and didn't want to spoil some of the story elements). Basically, it was about a guy on Earth who was shown how to use the Dark Side, but he quit when he met a nice girl and his fellow Force-users wouldn't stand for it.

One of my favorite parts was a scene with two people fighting, each carrying two lightsabers. One had one blue saber, one red while the other had a green and a red. It wasn't scripted that way, but once I saw RotS, I decided to make the colors reflective of the final duels when good and evil are at even odds.

 

The Emperor's New Clones (TENCLO) was written and filmed in 2005, although it was released in 06
