Director Statement

Unlike other Star Wars fan films, ‘The Path of the Greys’ has a serious, dark tone. It focuses on the Greys, Force users between the Jedi and Sith, and introduces two new Force abilities: Force Life and Force Death; telekinetic abilities that allow one to influence the midi-chlorians. The film also introduces a new sci-fi weapon: the ‘lightnunchaku’, a lightsaber nunchaku seen for the first time in a Star Wars film.
