Summer ’78, a Short Star Wars Film
Coming in at under four minutes, Summer ’78, directed by J.C. Reifenberg, may not be technically accurate — trust me, the comments already point out timing issues with some of the Kenner Star Wars toys that appear in the film — but it’s a fabulous love letter to Star Wars and the seventies and absolutely worth watching. The reveal is perfect, as is Chewie’s fate at the end of the film.
Just two more weeks until The Force Awakens opens in theaters. Will it be as heartwarming and innocent as this short fan film?
I love this film. Replace Star Wars with G.I. Joe and it would have looked like a day at my house.
