Star Wars: The Emperor's New Clones (often abbreviated to TENCLO) is a 2006 feature-length Star Wars fan film that spoofs the story of Revenge of the Sith.[1] It was created by Backyard Productions UK, a British amateur film production company founded by Darren Scales, Mark Scales and Edwin Hollingsbee.[2] The film was premiered at Whittle Hall, RAF Cranwell on 9 September 2006.[3]
Production[edit]
According to BBC News, filming was carried out in a garage studio.[4] However, Camera Diaries claimed filming took place at RAF Waddington, and only the post-production was done in the garage studio.[5]
