The STAR WARS: BUCKETHEADS Fan Trailer.

It’s getting easier and easier for non-professional studios to get to ‘Ehh. I can’t really tell the difference’ TV/movie production values. BUCKETHEADS is operating at, what, 1998, 2002 AD-style special effects? That’s easily enough, for what they need to produce. The next step for them is to get enough money to be able to hire professional actors, and then hey, presto! They’ve got a film company. With probably considerably less overhead.

Mind you, at that point they’re gonna need to get their own IPs.

Which would definitely argue against them just re-porting the game to modern consoles*.

So, hey! Actual Star Wars news that you might care about! Awesome!

The more I look at this, the more I appreciate the levels of “sit on it and rotate” that this transformation entails.
