Star Wars: Uncut is one of my favorite fan projects. It’s an incredible blend of art and fandom that divides the films up into 15 second chunks and calls on filmmakers, artists, and animators of all types to re-imagine those 15 seconds of Star Wars.
It’s later knit together into a full length tapestry that is impossible to stop watching once you’ve started.
You can watch all of A New Hope here, just to get a flavor of what it’s like, but you really need to get in on the action for The Empire Strikes Back.
I did.
That’s right. With the help of artist extraordinaire, Dave Styer (@geekleetist), Chewbacca costumer for the ages, Dartanian Richards, and grips Emily Rose and Autumn Killpack-Havey, we rolled scene 351 in The Empire Strikes Back.
And it’s done.
You can watch our scene here, and then troll around for other so-far completed scenes.
And be sure to claim a scene for yourself. The faster all the scenes are finished, the faster we can all watch the finished product.
