'Rock Trooper' is an action-packed comedy about a jaded Storm Trooper whose desire to be a rockstar manifests itself in the form of a reckless, neon mohawk-wearing, blaster-thrashing rocker.
'Rock Trooper' left me wondering if George Lucas knew that he was about to inspire millions of science fiction fans to new heights of sci-fi insanity.
The Rock Trooper animated short was originally created as an entry for the 2010 Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge, but easily compares to other wildly entertaining 'Star Wars' fan created productions.
