Felux. Short
Synopsis: “Revelations”
takes place between Episodes 3 and 4 of the Star Wars Saga. Emperor
Palpatine's power has spread throughout the galaxy. Darth Vader is a
feared figure. The Jedi are hunted fugitives. Anyone suspected of
harboring Jedi or having any information about them is taken into Imperial
custody. Our
heroine, Taryn Anwar, has broken way from Imperial control and is
searching for an ancient Jedi artifact. Said to contain great power, it
could be the key to destroying the Empire -- if she can locate it before
Zhanna, the Emperor’s Hand, does. It’s a race between good and evil as
the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. Revelations
tells it's story around it's own unique characters and worlds around the
Star Wars universe in which the only original star wars characters you
will see from the films are, the Emperor, Vader, stormtroopers, and
various aliens that makes Star Wars. "Revelations" is very
unique in it own way of look and feel, yet still within the Star Wars
galaxy. "Revelations"
is a non-profit film. That's right, we cannot make money from
"Revelations" nor would we want to. Star Wars is a registered
trademark of Lucas Film LTD. and it is through George Lucas' kindness he
allows young filmmakers to play in his wonderful world. Being huge fans
ourselves we would want, if anything, to promote and share the magic and
love of the star wars films and what it's creator brought to the industry
and audiences around the world. Screening
