Nice spoof on the Flash Gordon serials! That's what inspired Star Wars in the first place! And the "special guest star" of Robby the Robot was a very nice touch!
Question: what is General Greiv-E-X saying? It sounds like it starts "You-will-be-vanquished," but I can't make out the last few syllables before "ha-ha-ha-ha."
Very nice! I liked nearly everything about it! Hopefully people will realize that the "opening crawler" was from Buck Rogers... not Lucas' original idea or something. All great artists borrow and pay hommage, as it is said... :)
FYI: The LucasFilms removals of fan art on YouTube were a mistake. The request was made for HyperSpace content that had been reloaded onto YouTube to be removed. YouTube instead began mass removals of Star Wars content in general. YouTube has begun restoring content that is considered fan art.
Thats pretty funny. Thats exactly what gave Lucas the idea for Starwars, so it's a full circle. The only critique is that the text went by to quick, I had to pause it a few times.
Yeah, when I did this trailer, the only footage available was the theatrical trailer, so I had to slow it down to give any sort of time for the titles. Obviously some scenes were just too short.
In my defense I made this quick film in about 3-4 hours just as an idea as I was talking to someone on MSN.
You can order Hollywood musical scores on-line on Amazon or what-have-you from any era for you to put in any film. Some are copywritten, others are generic and you can use in anything without exclusivew permission.
Actually I made this short trailer thingy, however Lucasfilm just removed it from mytube account, as apparently it infringes copyright law! guess that means all the star wars trailers on mytube will have to be removed! ;(
The purpose of a Fan Film is to use basic Star Wars ideas and turning them into your own thing. With a whole NEW plot and characters. Not just doing a very basic video editing technique.
The purpose of a Fan Film is whatever the creator wants it to be. Coming up with set rules just because that's the one other Fan Films were made quickly kills any variety in the genre.

I would love to see someone do a re-edit of the prequels in this style. They might actually become goofy fun that way!

Since the Star Wars saga was originally inspired by these serials, this bit of self-referential parody is especially apt. Four stars.

You can order Hollywood musical scores on-line on Amazon or what-have-you from any era for you to put in any film. Some are copywritten, others are generic and you can use in anything without exclusivew permission.
