Fans Come Together To Complete Star Wars Uncut

Posted by samzenpus on from the in-a-backyard-far-far-away dept.

eldavojohn writes "Star Wars Uncut has taken a novel approach to remaking Star Wars IV: A New Hope. You merely sign up for a 15 second clip, film it and submit it. The trailer is now complete and I will suspect you might enjoy the high quality (and low quality) of some of the already accepted scenes. 251 scenes remain in need of claiming with 688 claimed and 291 finished. Do your part to remake one of the greatest movies by filming fifteen seconds of yourself and your friends!"

    If they let people do any part they wanted.... They could with a little bit of programming have it pick a random 15second clip of what is available for the time slot. It would be a bit different each time. Or people could vote on the best rendition for each time slot to improve the thing.

    In any case it is a pretty cool project. And the first 'Open Source' over the internet fan made movie I've heard of. I've been in fan made anime dubs before but that was mostly to horrify anyone that downloaded it to the point of tears.
