The first episode of IMPS - The Relentless, a Star Wars fan film, has been released:

Chapter 1 of IMPS, "The Rail-Runners - Davenport Gateway" acts as a bridge to take us from the 'COPS' format to the soldiers of the many branches of the Imperial military. Since the military does actually act as peace officers in many cases, we thought it would be appropriate. As we delve into further Chapters, and the men and women who work as Imperial soldiers, we seek to learn who these characters are, how they came to be here, and what their responsibilities are, etc. This is why we now call it I.M.P.S. - The Relentless.

Impressive visuals, pretty good voice talent, ok script, some mildly amusing moments. A lot of effort obviously has gone into it, definitely worth a look.

does this have anything to do with the troops vid oh so many years ago?

Nothing is original anymore.

Holy f***ing s***!!! That was awesome!!!

A million times better than the last 3 Star Wars movies put together. I like how it's been done like those Discovery Channel doco's. Had the same feel as one I bought ages ago, 48 hours on the US aircraft carrier Karl Vincent.

f***ing amazing and I recommend this Star Wars film thingy to anyone who likes good quality well made thingys. George Lucas needs to take a look at this and then get a clue.
