This truly is the best thing I have ever seen!

The Story:

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.

We can't thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.

Anyone watching this? I couldn't pull myself away from it last night. Genius!

I shouldn't be watching this right now I have a train to catch! Lucky I live only 20 minutes from Peterborough!

Brilliant. Watching in ten mins sections to fully appreciate. Every scene so far has been quality. Loved the bubble gum blowing jawa.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Haha cool! I'm watching it for a second time and will probably watch it several more times when I can as I love it!

It just gets better and better as you watch it! So clever. Brilliant how the music holds it all together and the continuity and smooth transitions are outstanding.

Enjoying the contrast between the live action and animated parts. Some people obviously worked hard on their bits others just got togehter with a couple of props and started to film. Works perfectly though.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

The attention to detail is quite frightening even on the scenes that were just knocked together.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Half an hour in now. Going to watch more later. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

You're welcome mate! Glad you like it. It was only at 300 views when I watched it last night it's nearly 400k now!

as has been commented if SOPA/PIPA or similar are passed this sort of thing would not exist. Now THAT would be a crime.

Can I just say that this is far, far better than the original - it is going to be the only time I can bear to watch the load of Pony that is Star Wars.....

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Just wonder if this needed a different thread title as it should be getting even more love than it has already received! Might have to give it another watch tonight

They've been working on this since 2009! Gah! How has a Star Wars fan like me only heard of it by visiting NSC today? I may have had a crack at 15 seconds myself.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I was only put up in it's completed form a couple of days ago. Good work by many involved and even the work that's not good work is still GOOD WORK

 

[Pevenseagull]

looking at the end credits there seems to be in excess of 400 people/ groups contributing clips to the film. good work
