    Padmé Wins as Best Star Wars Fan Film of the Year

    George Lucas' favorite fan films are parodies — he's said in interviews that he thinks a good parody will often lead people back to the original story and turn them into fans. So it's no surprise that Lucas picked a popular parody, Padmé, as the winner of this year's Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge at Comic-Con. The short film is a mashup of teen pregnancy comedy Juno and the familiar Star Wars universe. There's even a cool song. [Padmé via Atom]
