With the Stars Wars sequels more than a little underwhelming, perhaps it would be better to leave things to the fans? That's the conclusion many are making based on a stunning short fan animation that's gone viral on social media.

Dayton Busse's 'Boba Fett Uses Seismic Charge on Star Destroyer' shows the famed bounty hunter bolting through laser beams in his Slave I. Made using Houdini (see our Houdini 20 review), it's clocked up thousands of likes across X (the former Twitter), Instagram and YouTube, where users reckon Disney needs to hire him ASAP.
