Not sure if any of y'all have seen this, but this fanmade short film Star Wars spoof of COPS is hilarious.

I wish, but its just about the funniest thing I've seen this year. If the Star Wars TV series is half as good as this, then we're all in for a treat. Actually there is another fanmade film that as pretty awesome as well. It's a drama though. Let me look for it and I'll post it up.

Nope, nobody here saw it. Not for the last 10 years. Nope.

Yeah it's well done but boring. It's also must be at least five years old. I'm sure I saw it even before Phantom Menace came out... oh them were the days, when I was actually excited about star wars...

Another I enjoyed was Duality, by CrewOfTwo. Unfortunately their website no longer works. I have the highres divx version that I can upload later. Here's a streaming version:

Duality - Short Film

The fighting was a little overdone, a lot of needless moves and stuff, but for a Fan Film I thought it was excellently done. The cool thing was that the entire film was made by 2 guys on their Macs using Final Cut Pro (and the local High School Band to score the music.)
