These Are the Droids You’re Looking For
Everybody who's anybody knows that one of the best motion pictures of all time is the original Star Wars. So what is the best way to pay tribute to such a cinematic masterpiece? That's right, by breaking the film into 472 fifteen second clips and having fans reenact it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Star Wars Uncut:
As confusing as it should be to change actors, style, and even plot details four times per minute, somehow this actually works. There are some completed segments and you can see most of the individual clips on their site. I only wish I had found out about this sooner, so I could take part.
I seriously can't wait until this comes out.

I'll agree that the sci-fi convention Star Wars fans who get into fights with Star Trek fans can be pretty annoying, but no one can deny that Star Wars is a fun movie. Plus, there's nothing wrong with being a nerd, and you don't need to be a nerd to enjoy Star Wars.

Every clip has at least three people remaking it already, so at this point the film is almost complete. Even so, I would still try but I won't be back together with my "film crew" friends until I go home this summer, by which time Star Wars Uncut will already have been released (I think its supposed to be completely done later this month).
