Fans Come Together To Complete Star Wars Uncut

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!"

This is fantastic

Maybe we'll actually see Mark Hamill in a motion picture again, after all these years! He was pretty fantastic in robot chicken, though.

I actually thought it would be cool to have people do this with the Bible. It will be interesting to see how this turns out, quality-wise.

The original films were, according to Lucas, destroyed in the process of making the remastered editions where Greedo apparently is so terrible a shot that Han was never in any real danger followed by Han cold-bloodedly murdering the handicapped lizard-man.

So... can you claim copyright on something you also claim doesn't even exist? It the point of copyright was to promote science and the useful arts by encouraging people to...distribute...copies...

Oh, oh, I know!! You could set up a web site with all the clips collected together, but with a user-moderation system for each clip. Then you could view the whole movie at +5 or -1 and depending upon whether you want Funny, Insightful, or Troll, etc. (some people have strange tastes).
