Bucketheads began where all great stories begin – in the imagination of someone who dreamed of a universe where anything is possible. Often an existing book or film or some other amazing creation will spark the question of “What if THIS happened in that world?”

The Star Wars Saga, born from the imagination of George Lucas long ago – in a galaxy not so far away – has grown so far beyond what he could ever have dreamed, and that was the spark for our story. In 2017 a small team of moviemakers and Star Wars cosplayers came together in a three day whirlwind of creation, and from that came our original short film.

After the success of the short film, we were determined to continue the story of Nova Squad and further explore the lore from the viewpoint of the stormtroopers. There were more talented members of the film community asking to be involved, and we realized we had the opportunity to create a series that had the potential high quality rarely seen in independent film.

We began filming in the middle of a pandemic, which posed a whole new level of challenge; but by following the same guidelines as the big studios we were able to get underway in a safe manner. This however greatly extended our timeline. So the first episode will be released in 3 Chapters in order to share things as soon as we have them ready! Once they are complete we will release a supercut for the full 30-40min episode we have written. For now, here is Chapter 1.

Please join us on our journey as we bring you the world of Star Wars seen through the eyes of loyal Stormtroopers, and the turmoil of an Empire crumbling around them.
