The Formula

Tom:
Did I watch Star Wars, because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because i watched Star Wars?

[Tom asks the group to help him make a fanfilm]

Zarth:
Dude, this is like our burning bush, man.

Jenny:
What?

Zarth:
Our burning bush. You know, like Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments? My man Tom has had an epiphany. A vision. A task to take us from our mundane lives and give us something more productive to do.

Greg:
So what you're saying is that Tom has been given a mission by God to keep us unbored?

Zarth:
It's like when Rocky got to fight Apollo Creed, or when Forrest Gump got to do... anything.

Greg:
You do realize that when it comes to filming, and acting, and swordfighting, we know like zip, right?

Tom:
Yeah, i know, but it didn't stop Mark Hammil, did it?

Tom:
If you would have asked me a month ago, why I was making this fanfilm, I really don't know what I would have said. For the experience, recognition, chance at fame... stupid excuse to make a lightsaber duel? Revenge would have been my most honest answer, but still not the right one. The real reason for anyone, ANYONE to make a fanfilm, in my opinion - Man, just have fun. My film isn't going to change the world, I understand that. But I learned a lot, and I had a lot of laughs because I made it with my friends. And if you're not having fun... why are you making this fanfilm in the first place? Who cares if your film's not perfect? Who cares what other viewers or some stupid short-sighted radio critic says on some flashy website? Sometimes you have to step back and say, "Hey, it's only a movie."

James:
Star WARS? You dare to ask a Trekkie to work cross-religions on a project in celebration of the Force? Blasphemy.
