`MAKIN' WOOKIEE' - STAR WARS FANS TO MAKE SPOOF

SEATTLE (Wireless Flash) -- Two Seattle-based digital film firms are asking "Star Wars" fans to come up with script ideas for a spoof of the sci-fi favorite. A spokesperson for AtomFilms says judges will be looking for short, humorous scripts that poke fun at the "Star Wars" franchise. Some of the working titles sent in so far include "You Ain't Nothin' But A Wookiee, The Jedi Chicken," and "Jawas Meet Barney." A panel of judges including Billy Dee Williams will select the winning script on May 7, and the screenwriter will get to star in the flick. Fans can submit scripts at http:\www.atomfilms.com or http:\www.dfilm.com, which is where the completed film will be available for download on June 4.
