Totally worth 2 hours of your time


In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake "Star Wars: A New Hope" into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The "Director's Cut" is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

I've only jumped around a little bit in the beginning, but this is pretty adorable. I love the lunch bag Jawas watching Luke from behind the Sandcrawler and the British guy doing the Luke/Beru "get one that speaks Bocce" scene in what is clearly the window to his backyard.

There are some brilliant and clever clips if you're willing to give it a look. One scene of bickering on the Death Star is done in the style of a CNN argument.

Also Obi Wan's "Of course I know him - he's me!" line is delivered with the perfect comedic, condescending tone.
