Pink Five is a

X-wing cockpit during the Battle of Yavin, and presents familiar events and story points from Episode IV
from a very different point of view.

Reception

The film has proven popular with Star Wars fans, winning rave reviews and the George Lucas Selects Award in the AtomFilms- and Lucasfilm-sponsored 2003 Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards, and even played at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[citation needed] In August 2010, Time magazine listed it as one of the Top 10 Star Wars fanfilms.[2]

Sequels and other appearances

The success of the first short film inspired sequels: Pink Five Strikes Back (2004),[1] Return of Pink Five, Vol. 1 (2006) and Return of Pink Five, Vol. 2 (2007).[1] With each successive installment, the chapters grew in length and in sophisticated visuals. Unfortunately, the increased expense meant that funding to complete the final chapter (and resolve the cliffhanger at the end of Vol.2) was unavailable for nearly a decade.[3]

Finally, after a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012, Return of Pink Five, Vol. 3 was finished, and the complete 59-minute Pink Five Saga was screened at conventions around the country in 2013. Later, the saga was released online in 2016.
