StarWarsUncut

Not long ago we told you about a little project called Star Wars Uncut that involved a fan-made, shot-for-shot remake of the original Star Wars told through the perspective of 472 different people. Sound confusing? Basically, tech-geek Casey Pungh though it would be cool to break up A New Hope into 15-second clips before asking folks to claim a clip and recreate it in any way they saw fit. At first it sounded like an awfully ambitious project -- one that would require 472 people to submit their clips in a timely fashion, which is a huge task in itself -- but checking in over a month later and not only can you watch all of the real 15-second clips, but it looks like a bunch of folks have already started to upload their fan-made versions.

Check out a few after the jump, and the rest over at their official site.

What if I told you there was a Star Wars remake in the works? And that 472 people were directing it? Confused? In an effort to do something unexpected and pretty cool, tech-geek Casey Pugh has assembled a project that will allow hundreds of fans to take part in a giant fan-made Star Wars remake, DIY style. Pugh has broken up Star Wars: A New Hope into 15-second clips, and asked folks to claim up to three clips per person. Once fans have selected their clips, it's off to the races -- with each person (or group) responsible for re-creating their 15-second clip in any way they see fit. Once all the clips are done and sent to Pugh, he'll piece them together into one final (and probably hilarious) finished film.

According to the sign-up website, all of the clips have now been spoken for -- but Pugh promises that he's currently creating a way for everyone and anyone to participate, and he'll make that announcement at the end of the week. On paper, this sounds like a really fun experiment and I can only imagine what sort of fantastical mumbled mess will vomit out of the final product. That said, I have a hard time assembling three friends at one time to go to lunch -- can you imagine trying to manage hundreds of people and making sure they get their clips in on time? Hopefully those who sign up already have a vague plan in place and will meet whatever deadline Pugh gives them ... because you get a handful of people who slack off and we're looking at a long, long time before this puppy gets finished. Regardless, stay tuned to this website for further details, instructions and whatever.
