The Jedi Hunter
The Jedi Hunter Six Million Dollar Man, and a cameo appearance by Crazy
Watto.
The film bears the odd credit "Special Thanks to Peter
Mayhew for giving us the inspiration - that’s right, blame the
Wookiee!" According to Star Wars Insider[1], this credit is
due to a missed dinner engagement with the Star Wars ac-
tor, which led the filmmakers to amuse themselves while
waiting for him, eventually hitting upon the idea that be-
came this film. They good-naturedly credit his not ap-
pearing at dinner with kick-starting the film.
The film has played at many film festivals, and
proven popular with Star Wars fans, winning several
awards, including Best Visual Effects[2] at the 2003
Dahlonega International Film Festival, and the Audience
Choice Award in the Lucasfilm-sponsored 2003 Official
Star Wars Fan Film Awards.[3] In August 2010, Time mag-
azine listed it as one of the Top 10 Star Wars fanfilms.[4]
