Now the dust has settled on Star Wars Celebration, the thirst for more Force-related content needs to be satiated. So why not watch this rather fantastic short fan film Echoes of Darkness.

Set almost 30 years after Return of the Jedi, the short tells the story of a ragtag group of scavengers who are hired to find a more recent relic on the Forest Moon of Endor. Unaware of how dangerous their employer is, and the true magnitude of their package, the crew play a dangerous game, making a deal that could make them rich or cost them everything.

It’s written and directed by Gary Scullion (who has worked behind the scenes on such films as Fall and Venom: The Last Dance) and stars Mark Joseph (Followers), Charlie Bond (Powertool Cheerleaders vs the Boyband of the Screeching Dead), and James Hamer-Morton (Eating Miss Campbell). The not-for-profit fan film is a brilliant precursor to The Force Awakens, essentially introducing several key characters in a different setting.
