A new Doctor Who fan film promises to send an alternate universe Doctor into George Lucas' Star Wars universe.
Doctor Who: "Alternate Empire" stars Julian Bane as a non-canon Doctor with Irish model and TV presenter Caroline Morahan as the modern prerequisite hot companion, Samantha. Produced and directed by Andreas and Sienna Calabrese, the fan-made effort blends some of the classic series' cheesy charm (K9 is paralyzed and made of cardboard?) with a few fancier digital effects from the 21st century show.
The series' own description reads: "Traveling through time and space, the Doctor and Samantha come face to face with new alien race -– the Krall...A powerful master race that plan(s) to conquer a planetary system based in the Star Wars universe."
Crossovers between top science fiction characters and franchises exist generally in the imaginations of fans as the legal and budgetary wrangling needed to bring the various stars and Star-based titles together would prove a nightmare. Fortunately, studio lawyers usually let this sort of effort pass – as long as nobody makes money off its distribution.
Look for five more episodes of "Alternate Empire" in the coming weeks.
