Back in 2016, a group of Star Wars fans and filmmakers came together to shoot the entirely crowdfunded Han Solo: A Smuggler’s Trade. The non-profit unofficial short film was released well before Solo: A Star Wars Story and to date has garnered over 2.4 million views on YouTube. Jamie Costa, who is best known for his Robin Williams impressions went viral, is the spitting image of a young Harrison Ford in the role of Han. And now he and his team are back for an Obi-Wan Kenobi fan film.
Costa and his team have already shot test footage for the short, set between the prequel and original Star Wars trilogies. And he’s aiming to raise around $50,000 to produce the fan film.
In the promotional trailer on Indiegogo, Costa teases: “In our story, we take a glimpse at Obi-Wan Kenobi’s life, while he’s on Tatooine overlooking Luke Skywalker and all kinds of adventures that happened before A New Hope.
“We plan on pulling inspiration from the official journals of Ben Kenobi found in recent comics, as we tell a gripping new chapter of Obi-Wan’s story and jump into exciting new lore.
“But in order to bring this film to light, we’ll need all the help we can get.”
