Desperation has fallen on the Empire. Technical Plans to the Death Star have been stolen and have not yet been recovered.
In an attempt to discover the location of the Rebel’s secret base, Grand Moff Tarkin has ordered to relocate the Death Star to the Alderaan system.
Little does Tarkin know, that two Stormtroopers have been tracking down a group of humans, known to have connections to Lord Vader, that possess information on the secret location of the Rebellion….
Stormtroopers TK212 and TK221 are dispatched to Alderaan to retrieve information for Lord Vader and The Empire. They arrive at the hideout of 3 young men Brett, Marvin and Roger who just so happen to be in the middle of breakfast, hamburgers to be exact. TK221 gets the information from Brett and they regain control of the missing information, with dire consequences to the men who took it in the first place. When the Troopers call back to the Death Star they their communications are jammed. The troopers must now get off Alderaan before Tarkin can order the first test of the Death Star on Leia's home planet.
This fan film is a combination of 2 pop culture movies. Producer and co-writer David Cottingham had the idea to do the Ezekiel 25:17 scene from Pulp Fiction and replacing "Jules and Vincent" with Stormtroopers. The scene remains pretty much in tact as it was shot in Pulp Fiction but with a few minor writing changes to blend both the worlds of Pulp Fiction and Star Wars.
"The more I thought about it the better the idea sounded to me," recalls director Russell Johnson. "We felt if we kept the majority of the actual dialogue from Pulp Fiction and just adding the Star Wars elements when it was appropriate then the whole thing was ripe for comedy."
The way the story plays out puts the Stormtroopers on Alderaan interrogating a few kids and at the very same moment that Grand Moff Tarkin is interrogating Princess Leia in Episode IV. The timing of putting both those scenes in the same time line worked out perfectly.
The scene where a Stormtrooper manages to eat a hamburger and drink a soda all while never removing his helmet is one that everyone had a hard time keeping a straight face on.
