Watch Chris Conley’s Star Wars Fan Film, Retribution


For months, UGA wide receiver Chris Conley has been working on a Star Wars fan film with a cast and crew of friends and fans. In April, we showed you the trailer for Retribution, and now you can finally see the full results of Conley’s hard work.

Below, watch the 26-minute short, which was shot on and around the UGA campus and features cameos from some recognizable local faces. It is ridiculous and nerdy and slick and basically the best thing ever.

By the way, UGA football kicks off against Clemson in Athens on Saturday, Aug. 30. THAT IS IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS.
