Pink Five is a Star Wars fan film that made its debut on the Internet in 2002. It was written and directed by Trey Stokes and stars Amy Earhart as Stacey (aka Pink Five), a fast-talking Valley Girl-type dropped into an X-Wing cockpit during the Battle of Yavin, and presents familiar events and story points from Episode IV from a very different point-of-view.
The film has proven popular with Star Wars fans, winning rave reviews and the George Lucas Selects Award in the AtomFilms- and Lucasfilm-sponsored 2003 Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards, and even played at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
Two sequels have been made: Pink Five Strikes Back (2004) and Return of Pink Five (2006).
[edit] Appearances
Stacey appears in Timothy Zahn's 2007 Star Wars novel Allegiance, making her one of the few fan-created Star Wars characters ever to become part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
Stacey also has a brief cameo in the fan film Sith Apprentice, directed by John E. Hudgens.
Additionally, Stacey has now been immortalized on a Topps 30th Anniversary Trading Card. Card #117 ("Fan Films") details the exploits of the Valley Girl X-wing Pilot and her faithful droid, R2-DD. On a more humorous note, the director is miscredited as "Trey Strokes."
An original Pink 5 poster also appears in The Star Wars Vault by Steve Sansweet.
