From Princess Leia to Pink Five, the Star Wars Universe is packed with kick-butt women. To celebrate these powerful ladies, AtomFilms is calling on fans to create their own movies based on the theme the “Women of Star Wars” as part of the ongoing "Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge."

Fans are free to make movies about existing Star Wars heroines, or they can create brand new characters. One fan movie will be chosen by AtomFilms and Lucasfilm to air on Spike TV in September 2007.


Entries for the “Women of Star Wars” Fan Movie Challenge must be submitted through starwars.atomfilms.com by August 31, 2007.

All entries for the “Women of Star Wars” are automatically considered for the “Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge,” an annual event hosted by AtomFilms and Lucasfilm that recognizes the best Star Wars fan movies of the year. George Lucas himself picks his favorite film to be the recipient of the “George Lucas Selects” honor.
