2005 Star Wars Fan Film Entries Online 147
Marty Broxterman writes "The 2005 Official Star Wars Fan Film awards are underway, and the 16 finalists are now online.
Three of the best entries are: Sith Apprentice - Darth Vader and other baddies duke it out to be the Emperor's new lackey in this parody of 'The Apprentice' - very funny, and the sequence with Darth Vader's "talent" has to be seen to be believed; Tiny Toys - Where a woman must defend herself from a pint-sized army of Star Wars toys. Almost a Kill Bill parody at times... amusing; and One Season More - a completely CGI rendition of one of the songs from the "Star Wars Musical" that's been floating around the web for a few years - some amazing animation. Voting for the contest takes place here."

I guess my tastes run away from spoofs toward "serious" movies, and in general most fan films don't have the resources to pull this off. I keep hoping Tydirium works out though: http://www.tydirium.tv/

It would be common sense to reach the widest possible audiance for something like this, so these tricks go against all common sense. Then again, common sense is rarely that common isn't it

Everyone gets to decide if it they think it is SF or not.
Quite a lot of people would consider something "real SF" if it is examining the impact of science and/or technology on people or society, probably making comments on modern society in the process.
Or out it another way, it is fiction about science (and by extention technology) rather than fiction that just happens to have sciencs and technology in it.
Of course everyone probably has their own view, and stuff like Star Wars sometimes gets called Science Fantasy, which is also SF just to be confusing. There is also the whole hard/soft Sci-Fi thing as well.
Like any genre, start to break it down and actually things become become blurry. When someone says "real SF" I generally have a good idea what they mean (by contrast "hard SF" seems to get used several different ways, as both relatively plausable to current thinking science, and science with all the consequences thought out).
