Star Wars Spoof (10th Anniversary Special Edition)

This 1993 spoof was originally a competition entry run by CVG Computer and Video Games Magazine. You had to re-enact a scene or scenes from Star Wars, though I also attempted to express filmmakers struggle for independence against the Hollywood system. The 'force' became the 'Lucas', the 'Empire' became 'Hollywood' and the 'Rebels' became young new independent filmmakers. The entry was successfully published in the magazine, but the prize (a trip to California to tour Skywaker Ranch) fell through. In 1997 it was eventually seen by Rick McCallum, the producer of the prequels, who told me that I could go to Skywalker Ranch anytime. In March 2005, while attending a film Festival in Tiburon, I finally got the tour. We then re-mastered the film in 2003 adding digital effects and the 'Phantom Menace' to Luke's screenplay to then spoof the 1997 special editions.

Starring: Derek Boyes, Richard Wilkinson, Chris Eldridge, Miles Watts and Oliver Kneesbeck

NOTE: This version has been cut down from 14 minutes to 10, in order to abide by YouTube's rules and regulations and therefore the first scenes may seem a little jumpy and incoherent. You will soon be able to see the full version on my site soon.

The Good: Pretty creative and well put together

The Bad: The whole idea and plot was kinda lame and not very funny. Alot of scenes just kinda seemed to copy scenes from Star Wars word by word and shot by shot and nothing really that different or interesting was done with the material. The acting was just ok.

Now I know how it feels to work really hard on something and have someone come along and just shit on it. So I'm sorry. I'm giving you my honest opinon and constructive criticism :)

Maybe you should read the description before commenting. It was a competition to re-enact Star Wars. It was supposed to be word for word and shot for shot with just a few comedy lines thrown in to explain the fact we were flying cars instead of spaceships etc. It was made in 1993 so criticism, although welcome, is about 16 years too late!

Han shot first!

Anyone notice how the cars kept switching from lefthand drive to righthand drive?

That was excellent. Loved the fact Darth pursued Luke in an old,white Fiat Punto and the Falcon was a mimi! One of the best Star Wars spoofs I've seen.

@Ryoushadow nothing to do with me. If you feel the urge to pick up an axe after watching this, then that's more likely a reaction from a messed up childhood! Are you a bed wetter? Do you like to kill animals? If the answer is yes then you need to get help!

@Delfilm Gotcha. Very cool man.
