According to /Film, Trank made this short—titled Stabbing At Leia’s—back in 2007. It depicts a found footage-style lightsaber battle between two feuding partygoers, with one person ending up stabbed (spoiler alert), and another arrested by Stormtroopers. OK, so it’s pretty light on plot and it just seems like an excuse to have some fun with a little fight choreography and lightsaber effects, but the same could be said for the prequel trilogy and those turned out just fine. Also, it features a post-credits stinger with Trank’s own e-mail address, so hopefully he’ll do the same thing with his real Star Wars movie and we can all let him know what we think about it. Too bad George Lucas never thought of that.
