Rogue One Half (A Star Wars Parody)

Jordan and Cody from jorcomedia.com, the team behind last year's Star Wars Celebration Fan Film Awards Best Comedy winner "Bounty Buddies", have written in to let us know they have dropped their latest stop-motion short film: Rogue One Half (A Star Wars Parody).  The film which is perfectly timed with the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story later this week, takes a look as the Rebels' attempt to defeat an AT-AT. A long time ago, before the Rebels had it figured out... Admiral Ackbar & Mon Mothma led the first attacks against the Empire. With the newly completed Death Star & fleets of AT-ATs closing in, the Rebellion knew that they must act fast, using every trick they know to save the Galaxy!
