SAN DIEGO — In all the Comic-Con International fuss, it was easy to lose track of the winning entries in the annual Atom Films Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge.

It’s an annual event now, with fans selecting their favorites and George Lucas himself picking his chosen winner in and around the geek gathering. You can find the top finishers here.

Lucas’ pick was “Star Wars: Retold” (right), an animated visualization of one non-fan’s recap of the saga.

But, if this reporter had a vote, it would go to the animated children’s book-style short, “Star Wars in a Notebook.” The gorgeous cut-out visualizations of the characters should really find their way into the mainstream media somewhere.
