Film A New Star Wars That Might Not Suck

Posted by on Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 4:11 PM

The Star Wars Uncut project, in which fans are recreating Star Wars 15 seconds at a time, is now about halfway done. Topless Robot posted a trailer:

I hope this movie gets a theatrical release. It's like a film festival for people with short attention spans.

I wouldn't want to see an entire feature length movie like this, but I'd love to see more 1 to 2 minute trailers of it!

If they did this to Eps 1-3, they'd be much better movies.

This reminds me of a project I worked on in Olympia about ten years ago. It was the Star Wars Rock Opera and Puppet Show.


We made a list of scenes from the trilogy. Anyone who wanted to participate could pick a scene and perform it any way they wanted. Then we put them on in order. It was fucking fantastic.


Some scenes were Interpretive dance. Some were strip teases. The famous Oly band KARP played the Imperial March. There was a thirteen foot recreation of a Star Destroyer that flew over the audience. There were stormtroopers shooting bottle rockets across the stage.


It lasted something like six hours and it never got boring. I'd love to so something like that again in Seattle.

It'll suck if it has JarJar Binks in it.
