“Operation Olivia” will debut with Munn’s appearance at the annual Lucasfilm-Atom.com “Star Wars Fan Movie Awards” ceremony (Friday, July 24 at 8:30pm, Comic-Con Ballroom 20). The next night, she will participate in Atom’s “Star Wars fan movie” panel at Comic-Con (Saturday, July 25 at 8:30pm, Room 7AB), where she will discuss the project in more detail. Operation Olivia information and promotional swag will also be available at Atom’s Comic-Con, Booth 3445, Wednesday evening, July 22 through Sunday, July 26.
“I’m excited to show everyone my exclusive Star Wars fan films; it’s great to get the official seal of approval from Lucasfilm and Atom—and hopefully the fans,” said Munn. “No, there isn’t any wrestling with a rancor, but there might be a suggestive scene with Jar Jar Binks—no promises though!”
Atom.com has long been the source of the Internet’s best and funniest fan films. It partnered with Lucasfilm in 2000 as the studio’s exclusive online partner for fan films, and the resulting “Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge” program, judged by George Lucas and Atom and Lucasfilm staff, has generated tens of millions of online views for hundreds of titles, including Star Wars Gangsta Rap, Pink Five, and Padmé. Atom has also distributed many of the films on television through Comedy Central, Spike TV, and Sci-Fi Channel.
