Crazy Watto is a two minute long fan film that made its debut on the internet in 2000. The film is a spoof of used car deal commercials shown on television[1], featuring Watto from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace . Watto offers up for sale familiar ships (and objects) such as an X-Wing with "genuine battle marks used in the Battle of Yavin" for $599.99 and a AT-AT for $999.99. Fans of other sci-fi shows notice that he auctions a Borg cube for $899.99, and also puts up ships from Star Trek and Captain Power[2] for $29.99 each.
Crazy Watto played at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival[3], and is a popular fan film at many science fiction conventions. The film was originally hosted by TheForce.Net [4], but is now part of The Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards at Atom.com.
