A Word from Rich Cando
Director of "STAR DUDES"

"Come on, go ask her out!" my buddies encouraged me.

"All right, all right. I’ll give it a try," I said.

It was then that I heard the voice. Now it could of been the alcohol, or just my friend Rodney who was standing right next to me. However, I like to think it was the Jedi Master whose fateful words spoke to me that night...

"No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

There is a lot of different reasons why you get rejected from a woman. Maybe, I shouldn’t have told the brunette that I get my inspiration from an 800 year-old alien from Dagobah. But as I left the bar with no phone numbers, I was feeling pretty confident in myself.

Then while perusing the Love and Lightsabers chat room at home, I had an idea. What if I tried to make a 5 minute cartoon version of Star Wars using Flash 4.0? Wouldn’t you know it, the voice spoke again...

"No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

After lots of hardwork, Star Dudes is complete. I made an effort to be true to the story and characters of the Star Wars universe, but with a stylized twist. It only takes minutes to download, so you can watch it and get right back to the latest rumors about the next Prequel movie.

Enjoy the film!

Just to keep you up to date, I did go back to that same bar and right up that same brunette. Since telling her that I was now a filmmaker with work on TheForce.net, I’m proud to announce our marriage and the birth of our first son, Yoda.
