Watch Troops For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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.

One of the funniest film parodies I've seen. I'd love it if this short could precede all Star Wars films shown on the big screen. Tons of laughs.

This movie is just great. Made by a couple of amateurs (you wont notice, I promise) the movie deals with scenes that are not in the original trilogy (or the special editions for that matter) and adds a slight sense of humour.And now there's talk about a sequel! I can't wait! Simply hilarious.

This is a very clever short film showing the basic events on Tatooine in A New Hope from the perspective of the stormtroopers. It manages to clarify a few things from the actual film, and if it doesn't quite make you symapthise with the troopers, it at least makes you think about life in the Empire for the ordinary majority of its citizens. I've only seen this on an internet site - it deserves some sort of proper release and proper credit for a smart bit of work.
