"For Knowledge and Defense" is a Star Wars Fanfilm based on the events of the 2002 fanfilm "To Know a Jedi".
"To Know a Jedi" carries a very simple premise: "What if?"
What if someone, in this case a Star Wars geek/physics grad named Will Green, discovered something no one believed was possible? How might this happen, how would it change him, and how would it affect those around him?
"For Knowledge and Defense" asks an equally simple question. "What happens next?"
Connor Larson was your average Star Wars fan. He enjoys the movies, but his fascination goes beyond, as he always enjoyed the books of the Expanded Universe more. He never asked to find the Force. The Force found him, through a woman named Aniqua, who possesses the only remaining guide to bringing these elements of Star Wars to life: Will Green's journal.
With this detailed volume, Aniqua teaches herself to build lightsabers and wield the Force, but she can't keep it to herself. She brings on two people who she feels would be helpful to her cause, Connor and his friend Michael Hinge. Hesitantly, they agree, and together the three of them train to better understand Will Green's success and failures. But what are Aniqua's intentions for them?
Along the way, Connor meets Skylar Young, a young woman who can never get her life to go in the direction she wants it to. She becomes a friend to him, and his grounding to a more traditional reality. As they grow closer, Connor begins questioning what is truly important to him in his life, and as he learns what happened to the man who wrote the journal, he wonders if he should leave Aniqua and Michael behind.
The question he doesn't ask is how they would feel about it.

I finished shooting this film over a year ago, however it's been languishing in post-production hell ever since. I've decided I should stop trying to undertake such a large task on my own and to look for some help in completing it. Hopefully Wreck-a-Movie will be able to provide some assistance in this regard.
