Axel Braun and Vivid parted ways a while ago, but that isn’t stop the adult film producer/director from making the nekkid fan films he’s become famous for. This time, instead of asking a studio to fund his wares, Braun his asking fans for help.
On the plus side, if the Indiegogo.com campaign is successful, Braun says he will release the film completely free of charge.
“I’m trying to do something that has never been done” Braun said. “I want to make the most amazing porn parody ever, completely funded by fans and sponsors, and then I’m going to give it away for free. There will be no DVDs; it will only be available online, and it will be free for everyone. Forever. No hidden gimmicks; no need to give out your email address; no membership; absolutely nothing but click and watch. Full HD, and fully legal. It’s my way to fight Internet piracy while giving back to the fans, and it’s a bit of a social experiment.”
I’ve heard there there are places online where you can watch porn for free, so this big claim initially fell flat for me, until I heard why he wants to give it away.

With the April 22nd deadline looming, Braun is hoping to raise $500,000 to make his latest Porn Parody a reality.
“It’s all or nothing,” explained Braun. “We either reach our goal or I will never shoot the movie. I want to see if there are enough fans around the world who want this movie to happen as much as I do, and I just don’t want to see pirates profit from it.”
The Empire Strikes Back XXX: An Axel Braun Parody will feature returning cast members Allie Haze (Princess Leia), Lexington Steele (Darth Vader), Seth Gamble (Luke Skywalker), and new additions to the cast including superstars Riley Steele, Carter Cruise, Aiden Ashley, Casey Calvert, and Asa Akira, on special loan from Wicked Pictures. Other cast members will be added as the fundraising campaign progresses.
Along with most of the crew from Star Wars XXX, Braun’s longtime collaborator, award-winning director Eli Cross, will be returning as a producer and director of photography.
Pre-production and set construction for the movie is set to begin on April 26. Filming will start on June 1st and continue for 28 days in California, Nevada, and Alaska.
If all goes according to Braun’s plan, you’ll be able to watch The Empire Strikes Back XXX: An Axel Bran Parody on September 30, 2016.
