IMO, even among fan films, "Spirits of the Force" is one of the most horribly acted. The story seems silly at times, with cliche situations. And I always wonder why those fan filmmakers always feel the need to put an opening crawl at the beginning of every fan film. If only they could be original for once, and not attempt to copy the style of the films. That, IMO, is one of the primary factors in the fan films that gives them the appearance of being amateuish. But, overall, "Spirits of the Force" seemed to me to be a good attempt at tying in with the EU, especially Kyle's run-in with Jerec in Dark Forces II.
