Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut
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.
Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.
The Story:
In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked 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.

I miss this toy. It was awesome.
…the one that got away. I didn’t have this one. I was a Landspeeder and Falcon owner, though. I have to admit I wasn’t a “fan of the Fett” until years later. I remember seeing this advertised on TV and thinking, even then, that the ship’s design could use just one more revision. Wheras the Falcon was just perfect to me.
A Guide to Bad Space Science In Movies
Sorry to ruin your enjoyment of Mission to Mars—or, fine, Aliens and Star Wars—but it joins a host of sci-fi movies that just can’t quite get their space science right. Here are the most common offenses and offenders.
You’ll note that The Right Stuff and Apollo 13, the two movies that are based on actual events, come off clean. Everyone else? Fast and loose with physics! But if you thought the most unbelievable part of Armageddon was that there was sound in space, well, maybe you just know more about asteroid drilling than I do.
