IMDb profile

A sequel to the fan films Pink Five and Pink Five Strikes Back, Return of Pink Five continues the adventures of Stacey (Pink Five) around the edges of the original Star Wars trilogy. The film has been released in multiple parts. Volume One debuted online at Atomfilms on April 25, 2006. Volume Two premiered July 20, 2006 at the Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards ceremony at the San Diego Comic-Con, but has not yet been released online.

While the film was not eligible for the Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards due to combination of a longer running time and the use of union actors, it was presented as "out of competition feature" due to the long connection of the cast and crew with Atomfilms.

[edit] Storyline

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Volume One opens with Stacey serving in the court of Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, where she dons the famous metal bikini to rescue Han Solo from carbonite. However, Princess Leia, Solo's new girlfriend, manages to rescue him first. Disgusted by Han's affection towards Leia, Stacey abandons the rebels and travels to the second Death Star. While waiting for the Emperor, she duels with Darth Vader before letting slip the Rebels plans to attack the station, and the fact that Leia is actually Vader's daughter. Volume One ends on a cliffhanger, with Stacey apparently signing on as the Emperor's new apprentice.

Volume Two opens with the arrival of the Rebel fleet at the Death Star. After a brief entreaty from the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Stacey heads to the surface to "rescue" Han again, but after a conversation with C-3PO, she is talked into helping the Ewoks fight the Imperial forces. Dejected after overhearing Solo tell the princess of his love, she learns from the spirit of Yoda that the rebels are unaware of a second shield around the Death Star reactor. The film ends on yet another cliffhanger as she is maneuvered by Yoda into returning to the Death Star to deactivate the second shield.
