'''''Pink Five Strikes Back''''' is a [[fan film]] that made its debut on the [[internet]] in 2004, created by fans of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise.<ref name=UT>{{cite news | last = Rowe | first = Peter | title = 'Pink Five' alert | work = [[San Diego Union-Tribune]] | date = July 7, 2008 | url = http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080727/news_1a27starfilm.html | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229082040/http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080727/news_1a27starfilm.html |archivedate=2012-02-29 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The sequel to the popular ''[[Pink Five]]'', it is a [[comedy]] set in the ''Star Wars'' universe. Amy Earhart returns as Stacey (a.k.a. Pink Five), a fast-talking [[Valley Girl]]-type pilot.<ref name=UT/>

In this installment, Stacey follows [[Luke Skywalker]] to [[Dagobah]], and eventually ends up being trained by [[Yoda]] as well. As ''Pink Five'' did with [[Star Wars (film)|Episode IV]], the film presents familiar events, story points, and now characters from [[The Empire Strikes Back|Episode V]] from a very different point of view.

The film proved popular with ''Star Wars'' fans, winning rave reviews and the Audience Choice Award in the 2004 [[The Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards|Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards]], sponsored by [[Lucasfilm]] and [[Atom.com|AtomFilms]].

The next chapter of the ''Pink Five'' saga, ''[[Return of Pink Five]]'' was released in April 2006. The end of ''Pink Five Strikes Back'' promoted the final installment of the trilogy as ''The Revenge of Pink Five'', though the third film was finally named ''[[Return of Pink Five]]'' which follows the ''Star Wars'' trilogy where the Episode VI's working title was ''Revenge of the Jedi'' but was ultimately named ''Return of the Jedi''.
