'Star Wars' Fan Film 'Troops' Storyboards By Eric Hilleary and Dave Max

See great storyboards for the Star Wars/Cops mash up Troops (1997).

A long time ago, in San Diego far, far away, there was a Star Wars fan film based on the popular TV show Cops. Thanks to it's high production values, and insanely funny jokes, it helped started the fan film movement.

Turns out the storyboards were done by professional artists Eric Hilleary (Robotech 3000) and Dave Max (Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows).

Check after the jump to watch the film and see the storyboards. As always, click in the images to enlarge.
