Fan film
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "There is plenty of room for fans to express their own feelings and opinions. We believe our core fans are responsible for the continuing popularity of the series, and we want to encourage them. Our intellectual properties are there for you to play with, but we expect you won't try and make a profit or use our characters in a salacious way. Having that wide-open frontier serves as a self-policing mechanism for the fans, who are really appreciative of being included."
- ―Steve Sansweet[src]
A fan film is a film made by fans. The contents can include canon material but any storylines made are not recognized as canon.
Most fan films are humorous and they are mostly fanon although some may contain elements or mentioning of canon.
