With no defined budget, "Star Wars: Renaissance" was financed with "more creativity than money", using voluntary cooperations and work during the three-year long process of creating the 200 SFX shots needed in the film. During this time, it was closely covered by national mainstream media from Chile, as well as followed by spanish and english-language fans alike from around the world, including Perú and Spain among others. The short-film quotes heavily on Expanded Universe material, both visually and story-wise.
