This after days of intense backlash for his ongoing criticism of the Muslim American family who lost their son, an army captain, in iraq. Questions tonight around what it means to serve and what it means to sacrifice. Its your voice, your vote. Something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me, and he handed me his purple heart. Reporter donald trump campaigning to be the next commander in chief never saw combat, never served in the military. But now has a purple heart. Thanks to an avid supporter. An honor awarded to those wounded in battle. Thats like big stuff. I always wanted to get the purple heart. This was much easier. Reporter trumps lighthearted reaction lighting up social media with iraq war veterans like congresswoman Tammy Duckworth tweeting, donald trump, this is how one usually looks when you are awarded the purple heart. Nothing easy about it. These comments as trump continues to double down on negative headlines over his treatment of the gold star family of captain khan, one of 14 american muslims who died serving the u. S. Since 9 11. His parents emotional challenge to trump captivating the audience at the Democratic National Convention Last week. Have you even read the United States constitution . I will gladly lend you my copy. You have sacrificed nothing. And no one. How would you answer that, what sacrifice have you made for your country . I think ive made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. Reporter the political backlash calling into question trumps own lack of military experience, getting four college deferments in vietnam, then a fifth one. I had a minor melody ferment for feet, for a bone spur of the foot, which was minor. Reporter and sarah palins own soninlaw, one of the few living medal of honor recipients from combat in afghanistan, shaming trump with this. If real donald trump wants to be the commander in chief he needs to act like one, and that cant start until he apologizes to the khans. Tonight on fox news, still no apology from the candidate. But a partial recognition of the khan family sacrifice. Obviously i mean, theres no greater sacrifice than you lose a son or a daughter, and you know, in the way that this happened. And i understand that. But regardless, i was viciously attacked. Well have more on this controversy tomorrow on gma. Now we turn to a team taking things to new heights literally. Launching into stomachchurning, possibly deadly stunts. Sky surfing into the belly of a thunderstorm. Not just for thrills. But to capture the perfect shot. Heres abcs rob marciano with our series pushing the limits. Reporter there is skydiving, and then there is what this man does. Jumping, surfing, flatout flying through the clouds. I put the board on, and it really it feels more like my sport bike. Reporter while red bull athletes are known for pushing the limits, this may be sean mccormacks most Dangerous Mission yet. Its an adventure were chasing. Reporter a flyer in the elite Red Bull Air Force at 41 years old, seans now out to sky surf a thunderstorm. Everybody likes to say, you cant ri cant. Ride up until you do it. Reporter welcome to florida where the summer storms are legendary. With more People Killed by lightning here than any other state. Last month, two vacationing teens were lucky to survive when lightning struck them on clearwater beach. I tried to figure out if i was hurting. My whole body was pretty much numb. Reporter Central Florida is one of the most lightningprone zones in the world. For sean mccormack, thats exactly the point. So the big question is, why . In all my Time Training what were doing here is the one experience that ive had that wasnt really able to get chronicled properly. Reporter but for extreme athletes like sean, carefully coordinated red bull stunts like these are also about the bragging rights. Getting that perfect video. Not easy, especially when lightning is involved. Are you aware of just how dangerous it is . Lightningwise . I am. I have experience doing it. So ive been in this environment before. And it worked out fine. 70 of all lightning doesnt even hit the ground. Its hitting the cloud. When you do this and theres flashes going off, what do you thinks going to be going through your head . I think a lot of focus on that moment, because its all pretty quick. I think youd be amazed how calculated this mission is. Reporter at this hangar in florida, an entire team has been assembled for this mission. Among them two other skydiving pros. Red bull air force captain john devore, and aerial photographer craig obrien. What happens if you bump into sean when hes doing thinks thing . Going to hurt. Quite a bit. Sean and i both have like 20,000 jumps. Half of them are together. Not that things cant happen, but were definitely in unison. Reporter to make sure sean finds the right kind of cloud to surf they brought in a thunderstorm specialist. Joe thompson, meteorologist. Normally as a meteorologist youre telling people where not to go, how to stay away from the storm. This is the complete opposite. Reporter joe is glued to these images all day. Highresolution computer models and Doppler Radar track the storms. The one that was over us has pretty much dissipated. Reporter and when one gets close, its human eyes to the sky. They want to skydive through the storms. Insane, right . Im a meteorologist, not a psychologist. Reporter joe notices a promising cloud building not too far from the hangar. Thats the best one weve seen all day. Reporter the team takes off. But they didnt get the perfect shot, this time. So they pack up their gear well get you a good thunderstorm next run. Reporter and wait for the next one. Youre in phenomenal shape. Thank you. Youre still doing this stuff at your top game. But youre over 40 years old. Does having three kids now, and a wife at home, make you think twice about doing some of this stuff . I have always had a very different approach. As a hollywood stunt person weve always tried to be about Risk Management and trying to coordinate something that can be done, repeated, safely. I think thats always been my motivation and my goal. Do you think about family when youre doing a dive at any time . No. Jouust focussed . Yes. Reporter sean says it was his first jump at 18 years old that got him hooked. I felt spiritual about it. It was beautiful to me and could not have felt more present. Where i needed to be. Reporter sean diving to spread skydiving love. Its going to be a Red Bull Air Force jump, not fuzzy business. Reporter he challenged me to get up there with him. Thats crazy. Thats what ours is going to be like, just like that. No, no. Reporter i finally succumbed to the peer pressure. Is that your chariot . This is it, brother. I cant believe youre doing this. My heart rate just went up a little bit. The last cinch. Reporter how often do you get to tandem jump with one of the best skydive others the planet . All right, lets do this, were going to do it, man. Reporter its a category 3 hurricane wind in my face. Sit up, sit up, stand up, stand up whoo i just jumped out of an airplane. Yeah, you did. With sean mccormack. How sweet is that . Reporter not long after our feet are on solid ground, joe spots another, more potent storm cloud. So we climb back in the plane. Here we go. Reporter this time im just spectating. 14,000 feet. Unreal to watch these guys. Unbelievable. Were almost there. 14,000 feet. Ears are starting to pop. The air up here is 20 degrees colder. The storm has gotten higher. They want to get closer to it. 17,000 now. Reporter to get near the top of the cloud, were 4,000 feet higher than a normal jump. Dizzy yet . Yeah, feels a little lightheaded, need some oxygen. Go, baby. Money shot reporter and the thin air starts to take a toll. Guys will probably be feeling a little hypoxic right now. If youre getting lightheaded you might start to slur your speech pretty soon. Reporter my producer jackie starts to fade, barely able to hold on to the camera. I got it. Just strap in. I got it. Getting lightheaded back here. Jackie just back behind the lens, how you been . Im alive, im alive. The angle of descent here is pretty intense. Good news is we got oxygen back in our systems. She didnt pass out. Nightline shoot successful. Yes reporter back on the ground, we learn that that storm cloud wasnt actually ideal for filming. But then this cloud kind of moved in and started just lighting up the sky. Reporter sean and the team get what theyve been waiting for. A true thunderstorm. A massive cumulus cloud. The perfect backdrop. Its the opportunity to show a really amazing, beautiful place on this earth that anybody could daydream about. And no one can get to go see. Reporter now that is storm chasing. For nightline, im rob marciano in lewiston, florida. Wow up next, the star wars devotees show their love by making their own mini epics.

So what does it take to be a true star wars fan . For the people youre about to meet it includes comebatting scorching heat and sandstorms. They celebrate the movie franchise they love by creating their own adventures. Making their own tribute films. Heres abcs Clayton Sandell. Reporter here in the sand dunes of a remote alien planet, surrounded by Storm Troopers and bad guys were on the set of a star wars movie. Action reporter not the one you think. Here theres no george luke cat or j. J. Abrams. But you will find Jeff Henderson and nick finch. Friends and star wars fans so in love with that galaxy far, far away theyre making their own star wars movie. Theyll enter their fiveminute film in something called the star wars fan film award. At stake, bragging rights. If i was a kid and saw that, i would literally spontaneously combust. Reporter and just possibly fame and fortune. The guys have spent the last six weeks raising money and recruiting about 60 friends and family for a grueling threeday shoot in the scorching desert. If youve made a checklist of all the things that could possibly literally and figuratively go wrong, weve checked all of them off but tsunami, zombies, godzilla, plague of location kulss. Reporter and theyre all doing it for free. Did you see the shot we just did . We were surrounded by Storm Troopers and boba fett. Reporter the movie is called the sable corsair about a spaceship that crash lands and gets into trouble. Another day, another worstcase scenario. Reporter the strange world of fanmade movies is bigger than ever and bigger than star wars. Youll find hundreds online from homemade harry potter adventures to game of thrones knockoffs. For the most part, big studios tolerate fan films using their copyrighted characters, as long as fans dont profit. But lucasfilm, the makers of star wars, actually encourage them. I think what lucasfilm gets out of it above all is a healthy fan community. Reporter the sable corsair is one of 500 entries this year alone. The clock is ticking. Theyre scrambling to finish editing but the contest deadline is just days away. Six months of work in ten days. Reporter theres a lot at stake. 10,000 they raised online, b 3,000 of their own. Theyve also lost money, turning down work to finish the film in time. Why do it . Childhood nostalgia that you fall in love with. Once you watch the first, i dont care who you are, you watch the first one, youre hook. Reporter brothers edwards hope their fiveminute masterpiece, featuring special effects that rival hollywood, is good enough to get hollywoods attention. We hope now people say, wow, these guys can do like highconcept ideas. They can do special effects. Reporter that may be a dream, but its a dream that came through for joe nusbaum. This is bigtime. Reporter back in 1999, nusbaum made a fan film called george lucas in love. Youre george lucas, right . Reporter hoping to jump start his own directing career. It worked. I had a meeting at dreamworks where the head of dreamworks walked in and handed me a letter from george lucas. The first line of which was, Steven Spielberg sent me a copy of your short film. Reporter today youll find nusbaum on an l. A. Sound stage, directing and producing the amazon series just add magic. Youre telling me the short star wars themed fan film led you to where you are today . 100 . In fact, i still get jobs off of it now. Reporter back at lucasfilm its time to pick the fan film finali finalists. One of the judges is gareth edwards, now directing what he calls his own fan film, the next real star wars movie rogue one. Edwards can tell making the sable corsair wasnt easy. Having stood in the mission of the desert trying to shoot, they suffered for that. Its going to the effort of finding that location and sticking it out in difficult conditions. Reporter so far its paid off. The sable corsair is chosen as a finalist. Crash landed on a hostile uncharted planet reporter next, london, basically the Academy Awards of star wars fan films. The winners are about to be announced at the annual convention. Hardcore star wars geeks jeff action nick, girlfriend alex, brother chris, made it just in time. This has been a long road. Oh my god. The longest journey ever. Its been an epic journey. Some blood, some sweat, some tears. Oh yeah, tears. A few macsedout credit cards. Reporter at this moment the golden Storm Trooper goes to the sable corsair, the teams won the audience choice award, voted best fan film by the fans. Star wars is a defining creative and professional centerpiece of our lives. Hows this feel . Im so proud of these two. And everything that they did. And everybody here. Reporter the edwards brothers are winners too, picking up the filmmakers select award. For jeff and nick, taking home a golden Storm Trooper has made the long journey well worth it. Weve touched these people who it means so much to. Even the most minuscule way. Its huge, its huge. Because its such a big thing. Reporter whats next for the sable corsair team .
