"The Imperials Strike Back" was written in 1977 by ten year olds. The film was shot over two years with a regular 8mm camera and a gaggle of kids with a deep love of Star Wars. The Death Star has been destroyed and Han, Luke and Leia go try to find Jabba the Hut to pay him off. But on the way there they get captured by a new ship known as the Death Ship. Made before the release of "The Empire Strikes Back"– the title "The Imperials Strike Back" was based on a mis-reading of Star Wars Fan Magazine "Bantha Tracks" in 1979 when the title of the real sequel was announced. The film was finished around 1980.
