Star Wars: The Great Disturbance

Star Wars: The Great Disturbance is a 2003 comedy science fiction brickfilm by Leftfield Studios, directed by Jonathan Hellerman and Nathanael Hellerman. It follows Obi-Wan Kenobi as he is sent to locate the cause of a mysterious disturbance in the force. The Sith, in the midst of carrying out a scheme, also send an apprentice to find the cause of the disturbance.

It is the earliest known feature-length brickfilm primarily comprised of stop-motion animation, as the earlier Grand Theft Auto by Patryk Wawer is primarily comprised of live-action footage. Upon release, The Great Disturbance was also the longest known brickfilm, until it was overtaken by the 4-hour The Wars of Darkness in 2005, which still holds the title.

Plot
The Jedi council send for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he is sent to investigate the disturbance along with his most powerful apprentice, Jar-Jar Binks, plus C-3PO and R2-D2. Simultaneously, Digitalgeekus tasks his apprentice, Darth Apprentice, both with inciting a rebellion on the planet Wiamea and then going to find the disturbance.

Obi-Wan heads to a bar to find his friend Dwayne, but is trailed by Digitalgeekus. Digitalgeekus encounters Jar-Jar alone and duels him, knocking him into a dumpster. Obi-Wan finds Dwayne to ask if he knows where a disturbance is likely to be taking place. Dwayne suggests the planet Wiamea and wishes to accompany Obi-Wan, so they leave in Dwayne's ship, leaving behind the missing Jar-Jar. Obi-Wan becomes concerned about a ship that seems to be following them.

On the surfer planet Wiamea, Darth Apprentice is convincing the inhabitants to rebel against the republic over the wax tax. Apprentice says he can get them a supership and tells them to build a droid army, so widespread protest breaks out and ship construction and a droid assembly line begin. When Obi-Wan is looking around Wiamea, he sees the force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, who tells him the disturbance he seeks can be found in the Eldura system.

Apprentice and Digitalgeekus meet on their new ship, the SS Giganticus. When Obi-Wan and Dwayne take off from Wiamea, their ship is pulled in by Giganticus' tractor beam. Obi-Wan explores the Giganticus to disable the tractor beam, and Apprentice feels his presence and sends his droid, 2D-2R, to find Obi-Wan and his companions. R2-D2 falls through a trapdoor down to Apprentice and is taken as a prisoner, and 2D-2R finds and joins Dwayne, who thinks he is R2-D2. Obi-Wan finds the lever to disable the tractor beam and regroups with his companions to leave, heading for Eldura.
