Mashable has J.C. Reifenberg’s new fan film ‘Summer of ’78’ up on its site. It’s a quick film detailing a fictional story line of a then unknown child playing was his newly released Kenner Star Wars toys in (you guessed it) summer of 1978. The film features many things that will surely get those of age in that time in a nostalgic coma, as well as some interesting Easter Eggs that interest younger fans just as much. Clocking at at only three minutes it’s definitely worth a watch. And be sure to check out The Star Wars Report Podcast‘s interview with Fan-Film-maker J.C. Reifenberg where it talks all about the process, as well as some of the Easter Eggs!

Len Cline has been a fan of Star Wars since he saw a pirated “A New Hope” with a TV dinner when he was around 3 (He only remembers the Tantive 4 battle), he was in his “Primary Star Wars Introduction Age” (PSWIA for short) (aka. 7 years) when “Revenge of the Sith” came out. Len fell out of the active Star Wars fandom for a few years and explored the majority of science fiction eras (except for the 90’s , which is a big deal (Except for Star Trek) until he was brought back through the Star Wars podcasting community. Len loves to read science fiction (Asimov being his favourite writer) and also enjoys the classics (Dostoyevsky anyone?). He loves all things philosophy (Cogito ergo sum!), politics (De Toqueville and Machiavelli!), and poetry (Mathew Arnold and T.S. Eliot for the win!). He is also an anglophile. Len’s worldview is colored by many things in his life: He’s a devout Catholic and holds his beliefs high, as well as believing that morality and personal responsibility are paramount. Len hopes to move to Europe to attend college for philosophy and/or other social sciences. He then aims to put his studies to good use for the world (hopefully just like Luke Skywalker!).
