I love this little film; that cat is sooooo cute when his eyes follow the lightsaber.
ElberethSkywalker7/8/07
I wish my own cat were like Boba... BOBA RULES!!!
dredzo5/15/07
The incredibly slow pace was more than made up for by the bad writing and even worse acting.
Killajames55/9/07
Boba da man... cat... :P

weeee
Vader Fangirl2/14/06
A great film. The cat just made it better.
The Rule of Thirds1/30/06
I thought the dialogue was a little inconsistent with the non-dialogue setup. Otherwise, the inclusion of the cat was good and the story itself was charming.
Rhimes1131/25/06
A little strange but a good film in general
Darth_Bane1/21/06
Good movie, but two things really bother me about this: A. What a traitor... can't even stand up for what he likes. B. He's a supposed "star wars geek" and yet, he only has A New Hope on VHS?!?
mazzonefilm1/20/06
Has A Great Story Line!
Kaylee12/25/05
Man, this is so cute! I love the simple story line and the black and white makes it really work! Great Job!!! ^_^ *runs off to think of ways to steal Boba*
Anonymous11/10/05
Cute cat but I didn't understand it much...
Anonymous10/8/05
nicely implied without being flashy or obsessive over FX work. I liked the use of black and white in it. Its not really a Star Wars Fan Film, but a film about a Star Wars fan. One of the more original ideas I've seen.
crazyfrog49/29/05
i have the force
toad merlin9/27/05
innovative and funny. I know plenty of people just like this dude. May the force be with all of you.
ARC-Trooper9/23/05
Cute, Loved it. Do some more of your great work eh?
Princess Leia8/14/05
ive seen this movie once before and it is still my favorite.its got a cute story line and its funny.the 3 star rating does not fit it it deserves a 5.The ending is cute and it deserves the award it got
Master Jedi 8/10/05
Loved it from beginning to end! Very entertaining and cute cat to boot!
jenny8/10/05
I had to come back and see it again. I just love this one! A film with heart!!!

I didnt get it
Katie7/7/05
Bobalicious!!!
Anonymous7/7/05
Okay, the fact that the guy had a videotape of the episode made me pee my pants. I laughed so hard. The cat was hysterical. This film has such a refreshing sense of humor. The isolated life of this guy is charming. Hey and nice heels by the way.
Jo7/4/05
It was very boaring!!!!!
guitar jedi7/3/05
That was the most phenominal and well thought thing I have ever seen, as far as fan films go, but that was to cool, boba rules!
chas7/2/05
(What a cat will go through just to see lightsabers...) Finally, a great fanfic that doesn't leave out great editing. Thanx, Mark. I think you'll be the next Kevin Smith.
alexis7/1/05
aww star wars love...perfection!!
Princess Leia6/26/05
Whoever gave this an award konws what they're doing. This is a cute story and it has a good storyline.

I can definately see why this won an award. Great piece of work-editing, cinematography, and plot were great.

The best part about the film was the CAT boba!!!
Anonymous6/16/05
Cute, however easy guess ending and it could have done better with out the speaking rule, you can get meaning without

It was cute, hilarios, and funny.
A Hobo6/2/05
This one will make cat lovers shreik with joy. I'm glad it won one of the awards.
3C Jedi6/2/05
One of my favorites! :-)
Critix5/30/05
Overall, I liked it! I thought that the camera angles were great, and the way that the story was laid out was pretty good. It was a little hard to understand and to get into in the beggining but I enjoyed the end. I thought it was put together nicley. Worth the veiw. P.S. I think the cat is a fanominal actor
gesus19795/30/05
nice very nice, great camera angles and a cute cat named bubba, unfortunatly poor acting, still good tho
Karen G.5/22/05
So simple and cute! What a talented cat!

This was the worst fan film I have ever seen!!! Do yourself a favor and DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was funny,cute,sad,and wonderful.The cat was so cute to.I watched 2 times
Alan5/19/05
It was a very interesting movie to watch, using a upstair neighbor as a pawn.
Point7Q5/16/05
A sweet and touching story. Not as good as "Carbonite" but still very nice.
filmscout5/14/05
This film could be considered a classic, if its' audience wasn't so naive and jaded. Nice job all around.
Anonymous5/14/05
Sweet. Shot really well, and defonately digged the music.
Anonymous5/14/05
Pretty boring really. Acting was awkward too. Seems like the usual "friend of the director" type deal. blah. cute cat.
Anonymous5/11/05
Sweet pace...finally something that isn't fast-paced and annoying. The film looks beautiful to boot!

The show is so touching... Boba the cat is soooo cute!!
Anonymous5/2/05
Nice. Uninsulting and enjoyable. Thumbs way up.
Filmmer5/2/05
Brilliant! What beautiful shot selection and cinematography. The pacing was perfect for a short film, as it took it's ctime getting to the cute and poignant ending.
Bren3845/2/05
It had possibilities, but unfortunately, the scripting was a little shallow. Things really didn't come together until the last minute(literally) of the film. Then again, it's a short film, there's not a lot of time for things to *be* put together.
pogijuice5/1/05
it was pretty predictable that it was the girl upstairs that out bid him......other than that, it was geeky good...i give it a one toe up....
Cameraguy4/29/05
Clever shots and editing choices followed the emotion of the main character. Previous poster must have short attention span.
Bako Bitz4/28/05
Thumbs up, but not by much. This film is slow, and for no good reason. It is poorly edited, creating confusion as to what's happening in one scene, and what little acting there is, you'll still wish there was less. But the concept is great, and it gets to the heart of every Star Wars geek's fantasy -- to find a girl just like him. It's not going to happen in real life, but at least we can all pretend now.
Bilbo4/27/05
A better ending would have been that the kitty did have the "force". "YOU WILL FEED ME! YOU WILL FEED ME!"
maryellen4/27/05
It is good.
Anonymous4/27/05
Love the cat! Reminds me of my cat. Good photography.
Yazazaa4/27/05
Cheezy, but satisfying

Very pleasant, but I don't get it.
T Wade4/26/05
Gives new meaning to "Addicted to Ebay." I can relate. Digging Boba!

Predictable but well done.

It was cute
kermitZ4/24/05
I liked the movie because it was very interesting how the whole story weaved together. I also loved the cat =). What can i say i'm a cat guy!
Charlie4/22/05
Every Star Wars fan can definitely relate to this character!
Travis4/22/05
This film was great! I hope it wins the fan film contest.
Matt4/22/05
This film is absolutely wonderful! I think that it's captured what a fan film should be, and I tip my hat to its creator.
LEEVEHE4/20/05
MY BROWSER CRASED AT END, BUT I LIKED WHAT I SAW
Matty B4/20/05
Very good, obviously a Kevin Smith fan too.
Anonymous4/20/05
cleverly funny
Ratuse4/19/05
The cat rocks. That's the begining and end of it right there.
Sharon4/18/05
I liked this. We have all wanted the force at one time or another. And spent money on trinkets...like my R2D2 voice activated droid and ligth saber.
the box man4/17/05
cute and oringinal
bobthemlt4/17/05
Very clever! The cat is a star! Bit more of the girl upstairs though!
JJ4/15/05
Funny, original, and the best acting (the cat of course), fun guaranteed!!!
ThE dUdE4/15/05
This dude needs some nookie and a shrink. His cat is cool, though. I just feel sorry because the poor kitty's feeble mind is being warped by dorkness.
Iktarr4/14/05
Hey...that happen to me...ITS MY LIFE!!!! great short..Here's your WINNER!!
Jennifer4/12/05
wow! very cute and funny! the best movie with Star Wars and Cats i've ever seen!
Kioman4/12/05
Well played, well paced, and well thought out. I completely enjoyed this film.
Ultrapower50004/12/05
This film is better than GARFIELD (THE MOVIE).
EuphoricTHC4/11/05
All this time I had the force, and I never knew it. This film was awsome!! If you like star wars and cats!!!! Here!
Alex4/10/05
This was very original and funny. The best Fan Film i have seen so far. Also, how can you not love a movie with a cat in it(except Garfield, The Movie)?
Absurd MC4/9/05
The Force is love!!! Wow! Great camera angles and subtle music keep you guessing, but the ending is well done. The only knock would be the acting, and it still doesn't take away from the film. And how could you NOT love Boba!?!?
Hobbit64/8/05
Three stars just because I like the cat!
Crystal4/7/05
What it lacks in unpredictability, it makes up for in heart.
darthmare4/5/05
I have often found myself in the same situation.... I loved this film!
TK-4214/5/05
Great production. One of the better fan films I have seen.
Mew Tiklo, Jedi Cat4/5/05
Clever portrait of the dilemma created by excessive fan worship. (Life is more important than landspeeders, though not nearly as much fun.) May the Furs be with you!

Cute little film... VERY cute cat...
Concord4/4/05
Another solid effort from Rusciano and company... good, but probably not awards-good this year...
lumfs4/4/05
Ummm...guess anonymous knows nothing about story structure. I, like many others saw a true fan experience in a well shot film. Bravo!
Anonymous4/4/05
Umm, what was the point of this movie? Oh, yeah, IT DIDN'T HAVE ONE!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Judo4/4/05
Good I like how the cat looks at the TV
The Magus4/4/05
A very clever film. I agree with many of my fellow veiwers, it is quite refreshing to see something fresh and origional. There is nothing better than an ode to Geekdome.
Chris4/3/05
I agree. A fan film doesn't have to be a regurgitation of the saga. Very well made. Top three for sure.
Anonymous4/3/05
Very original, well put together film. Just goes to show, you don't need bad costumes and light sabers in a fan film.
Anonymous4/3/05
I felt that this was a little too long and I just sat there waiting for the end. The cat was cute and the end was very cute as well, but it just seemed a bit too long and drawn out.
Darth_Bane4/3/05
That's what he gets for betraying his inner geek
wdrewjr4/3/05
Great film! It's nice to see people embrace the Geek Side. Reminded me a bit of Free Enterprise.

More bad acting in this competition.
Signe4/2/05
Very enjoyable. The kitty's amazing!
Gabe4/2/05
EXCELLENT! At last a Star Wars themed movie that isn't a spoof or some bloody flash animation. This film was funny, human and all too real.
Felisetopia4/2/05
Very cute! Sometimes things just fall into place...with a little bit of feline intervention. I love this one!
filmguy4/2/05
I liked this one...again a little corny but good job.
Jeff4/2/05
you scared me there for a bit i meen really gettin rid of your collection (mines bigger by the way) come on. but over all it was the cat that made the film
3720to14/1/05
I could totally relate.
George Hamill4/1/05
Cheesy can be good, but it didn't happen here. I'm sure there's an old lady with a lot of cats somewhere that will like this.
Bernie Rhodenbarr4/1/05
This I enjoyed - while it needs Star Wars to work, it's only tangental to the main story... and what a cute cat!
Gary 4/1/05
Very good film not exactly funny but just good film making.
thatguy4/1/05
Impressive! A film that can actually stand on its own and not depend 100% on Star Wars. Nicely done.
landrew4/1/05
I really enjoyed this one. I think the cat stole the show.(For all you non-cat people, your'e just a bunch of khaki-doo-doo-heads! ^_^
Anonymous4/1/05
Way too long. The acting wasn't very good either. And I'm just not a cat person.
