This... this may honestly be OneMinuteGalactica's finest work, although I may be partially biased since I took about 900 literature classes in college. That said, if Big George wants to replace the dialogue in the Death Star battle with this, I'd be totally fine with that. (Via Nerd Bastards)

One Minute Galactica got a deeper understanding of SW then Big George himself, no really.
This is so wonderful, I'm sending it to everyone in the philosophy department! We always worry about justifying the usefulness of a ($200k) phil degree but this just shows how dead handy it is.
How sublime was the illusion of somethingness that this gave me. My anguish at it only being 3 minutes 11 seconds is undercut only by my profound understanding that it was still perceived by me as more meaningful in its totalness than Episode 1. "Death to Sartre-Sartre Binks!"
I couldn't believe how bland Vader's voice sounded. And that little noise he made near the end when he turns his head quick. It's like a hiccup or something. I almost didn't include that because I thought people would think I got that sound from somewhere else and stuck it in there.
This is the greatest rendering of Star Wars I have ever seen. The French lines perfectly accentuate the action that is going on in the scene in the mind of the characters. THIS is Star Wars: The Subconscious Edition
...Ă©toiles with one L, not two.And in france, it's 'la guerre des Ă©toiles'... 'la', not l'es'.. there is only one war for us... :)
Yep, it really pissed me off the second I realized I'd misspelled the name. And of course something like that always happens AFTER I post a video, no matter how many times I watch it for mistakes beforehand.
Thanks for the link, Rob. What a superb absence is this web site.
1) I listened to the whole thing in French without reading the subtitles and ended up thinking, "Hey, this is the same dialogue as the original movie, just in French!" ...I'm a bit slow today.2) Now I know what to write this last minute essay on for tomorrow morning. Existentialism in Star Wars. Thanks, Topless Robot!
^^^ I agree, listening to the dialogue and realizing it was the same as the original English made for a very amusing contrast, though I certainly enjoy all the Sartre in the subtitles.
omg, I would watch the living shit out of this movie.
Instead of popcorn, we could use old cigarette butts, coffee grounds, and ennui. Or shitloads of high-powered blotter acid, your choice!
