 "Be as courteous and helpful as
you can without providing any actual information."
 In an exciting change from the routine for
maintenance workers 7734, they will be shadowed for a day by
documentary filmmaker, Darryl Gold. Mr. Gold went through a rigorous
screening process before being granted clearance to shoot on
the nearly operational Death Star. He was allowed to film a day
in the life of Drones 7734 because they are not intelligent enough
to receive any clearance whatsoever. 7734 are not to work on
any weaponry or droids classified Gamma-6 and higher. This limits
Mr. Gold's chances of filming anything which could later be used
by rebel spies attending the multi-plex premiere with notebooks.
Mr. Gold was excited about the
chance to finally make his vision a reality. The story, written
and directed by Darryl Gold, originally started out as nothing
more than a funny title. Bent on sharing the joke with the rest
of the solar system, Darryl tried unsuccessfully to get it made.
One day he mentioned the story to crackerjack Imperial producer
Chantal Payette who liked it enough to put her ass on the line
and get it done, bribing numerous Death Star officials, organizing
a crew and forcing Mr. Gold to work torturously long hours to
meet his deadline. It's completion is due in no small measure
to the many talented people who donated their time and energy.
Since it's virtually impossible
to get permits to shoot in the REAL Death Star's key areas, all
the live action had to be shot in the Imperial green screen studio
on Level 6 and keyed over computer generated backgrounds. All
the editing, sound, music, artwork and animations were completed
using home computers, "off the shelf" software and
the favors and good graces of skilled animators and crew. The
Internet was exploited fully as the means to meet and send work
files back and forth. In fact, many who worked together on the
film have never met. The Empire has expressed concern over the
security risk involved in offering the film over the Internet.
Talks are continuing.
