Martin and Luke’s Excellent Adventures

This about sums up our process...

One of my oldest and best friends, Luke, has begun chronicling a decade of our hilarious misadventures in Star Wars fan film-making over at his blog, the “Book of Luke.” You should check it out hither.

There are so many stories about our fan film days that, seriously, I could do one each day here for the next year and not run out.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes from Luke’s post:

Martin was in his Neo Maximus outfit. It was a dark grey trench coat with the sleeves and a majority of the lower half cut off. 7-inch-long vertical slits were cut 3 inches apart into what remained of the coat below the waist, creating the appearance of the garment that Maximus wore in the arena in Gladiator. If memory serves me correctly, there were washers dangling from the bottom of every strip, too.

No, he’s not exaggerating.

I realize that I may not have mentioned to anyone that I am a huge Star Wars nerd. If there is any doubt, I invite you to check out the website for my 40-minute Star Wars epic, “Hunt for the Holocron.” Warning: Following this link will filleth your Dorkimus Maximus cups for at least a week.
