Homemade: Fan-Sourced Star Wars Reboot Finished

January 23, 2012 / classics, good job, good lookin', holy smokes, homemade, i've seen it all now (and not sure how to feel about it), low production value, luke i am your zero-experience director, movie, reboot, remake, star wars, sure why not, video, wow

If you didn't already catch it this weekend, this is the 2-hour director's cut of Star Wars: Uncut, the 15-seconds-at-a-time fan sourced (each fan was responsible for making a different 15-second scene) Star Wars: A New Hope remake. Now I didn't have time to watch the whole thing this morning, but from what I gathered a lot more scenes were shot in people's garages than I remember from the original. Granted I can't say I'm surprised. Get it? I've never seen the original!

Hit the jump for two hours of Star Wars on zero budget. Bonus points if you manage to watch the whole thing at work. Suck it, the man!

Thanks to Adryisgreat, simon, Ben, Lucas (presumably not George) and chublover, who agree this thing blows the prequels out of the water.

  • Star Wars: A New (Cardboard) Hope
    October 10, 2008
    This is fan-made video of Star Wars: A New Hope made entirely out of cardboard, a hubcap, and fifteen minutes. Truthfully, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but that's only because I walked in on an orgy in the craft room of Silver Pines Retirement Home. Youtube Thank... / Continue →

    Seen here pushing her up the ramp with a stick, a father prepares his daughter for the ride of her childhood on the homemade rollercoaster he built in the backyard using nothing but lumber, PVC pipe, and concrete. Father of the year, or reckless child endangerment -- you be th... / Continue →
  • Looks Dangerous: Homemade Batpod Built In Vietnam
    July 31, 2012
    This is a video of the Batpod inspired motorcycle some engineering genius managed to piece together in Vietnam. It's pretty damn impressive considering it looks like it was built entirely out of parts that had fallen off other cars. Granted it's not something I'd risk MY life... / Continue →

  • Cool but dissapointed that they inputed some scenes from the remastered edition I thought true fans hated the new editions?
    Glad to see Han shooting first though its  Lacking Darth Vader saying that "The force is strong with this one"

    It's really passe to say that the prequels are bad. Hint: actually watch them. They're really good. Quit letting others make up your mind for you, going along with hating them because you think that is what all the cool kids are doing thsi year.

    Very few negatives can be said by anyone who actually watches them without an agenda or pre-conceived point of view.

  • Sorry cuthberth, but I have to disagree here.  Im old enough to remember seeing the originals in the theater.  I was very excited for the new movies.  Episode one sucks bad.  A cheesy cartoony attempt to attract little kids (Jar Jar) and killing one of the coolest characters in the entire series (Maul).  Then in the other two movies you've got a whining pansy in Annikin Skywalker.  

  • Wasn't there a Jack Black movie about this?

    Never seen the original either, GW. I know all the pop culture but never seen any of the movies.

  • Never seen the original?

  • Frank Polster

    So "sourced" is now the new word for "financed", just because "crowd-sourced" was a word play on "out-sourced"?!

  • George Lucas WISHES he could make a remastered edition as good as this.

  • You mean the original wasn't shot in George Lucas' garage? I thought that was where ILM was originally located.
