Star Wars Fan Film Awards Nixed

Rebelscum is reporting that the Fan Film Awards have been cancelled. I have to say I'm not disappointed by this, though I would leave the door open for them in the future. There's such a glut of fan films that having a regular award for them rewards the mediocre in addition to the excellent. I always advocate Star Wars Celebration playing a loop of fan generated media, but I don't think it's all prize-worthy.
