July 17, 2016, TK-436: A Stormtrooper Story (2016) was awarded the 2016 Filmmaker Select Star Wars Fan Film Award in London, England at the 2016 Star Wars Celebration. It was presented by John Knoll , executive producer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) .
All of the Stormtrooper costumes were made using EVA foam, athletic mats, and, pepakura patterns.
Samtubia Edwards came up with the name TK-436 by combining the birthdays of his brother ( Samgoma Edwards ), sister, and wife. Their birth dates were July 4th, July 3rd, and August 5th. Later Samtubia and Samgoma decided to change the last number because '6' sounded better.
Despite their being a huge battle no Rebel is ever seen other than Nissa. This was due to a shortage in actors and the directors wanting the audience to feel no sympathy for them.
