I have a shit-ton of great fan-made videos to post today, but none of them come close to the awesomeness of this one. Seriously. I don't even want to talk about it, lest I spoil an iota of its awesomeness for you. I only have two words for you: "If only." Infinite thanks to Death Star PR for the tip.

This... This is the best thing I think I have ever had the good fortune to see! But then... If he was taken in 1980, he didn't make ROTJ or any of the first three Indy films and I loved those... Did I misread that?
Hm, good point. That would explain the Ewoks.
And everyone knows Lucas only signed off on Spielberg for the Indy movies, right? {lopsided g}
OMG Please let that be a real trailer for an upcoming movie...I would so want to watch that
This was to great...the best video I have seen this week :D
Has anyone ever addressed Lucas' claims that the prequels address the needs of kids nowadays. I mean, do kids require a certain ratio of poop jokes per film minute, and can they no longer watch a movie with subtitles? Or is he just acknowledging that kids are stupider than they were in the 80s?
Watch Red Letter Media's review of Phantom Menace which does address how ridiculous a claim that is. To prove a point, they "show" little kids watching some of the scenes with no action and with heavy convoluted dialogue like the senate scenes and what not. Really drives it home.
Awesome. Though why do I have the feeling that this was directed by Quentin Tarantino if he focused on sci-fi more then his usual fetishes?
You know, fuck it! I don't care if it's a fan trailer. As far as I'm concerned, George Lucas was kidnapped and imprisoned in 1990, and is working on his revenge on this impostor we've had to deal with for the last 20 years.
Granted, I'm not sure how the mid-90's Lucasarts games fall into this scheme, but that's not important. The important thing is George Lucas was kidnapped and replaced with a robot.
I also liked to believe that George Lucas and friends dealt their revenge "R.E.D" style. All that is missing is Helen Mirren with a gatling gun. Because ANY movie is an instant hit if you put Helen Mirren with a gatling gun in it. Hell, "Turn Off the Dark" would be exponentially better if Helen Mirren just showed up with a gatling gun in it. XD
Yes, I agree Rob. "If only this was real..." was going through my head all the time. XD
"I'M A BUSINESSMAN ON A CELL PHONE!"
I can only hope this is a real documentary. Bravo to the team that made this.
I want this to be real.
I was sad that George after twenty years only knew sissyfighting. I really wanted him to kick the shit out of those guys in the hallway.
I'd say that now I want to watch Oldboy again, but I'm really fine with never watching it again. I just want to watch the hallway scene.
lol loved the thing. espically how they manage to make jar jar more evil then he is . and love yoda saying hat leads to an ass kicking. props to the video makers.
As awesome as this trailer is ("you shoot first"):
1.) It doesn't explain Ewoks. (Ewoks might as well have not existed.)
2.) I have to call coup on the dissing of Darth Maul. He was handled badly in SWEp1; but he was NEVER uncool or douchey.
1-The Ewoks are awesome.
2-How can Episode 1 had ruined the "never uncool or douchey" Darth Maul when that was his one and only appearance anyhow?
imagine if ewoks were still considered the worst thing he ever did with star wars. never really hated them that much myself. the low point of the series maybe, but not jar jar low.
This totally supports my theory that the man we thought we knew as George Lucas for the last 20 years has been an imposter. That, or George suffered a brain anuerism in the late 1980s and underwent a complete personality change.
this reminds me of a fake article a while back that was about finding michael jacksons body buried in neverland (this was way before he died for real) the idea being it hadn't really been him since the 80s or something.
that is pure awesome. a little bothered by the "are those supposed to be the actors or the characters as if they were real?" thing but that's because I over-analyze things and just can't shut up and enjoy something made of win.
so many awesome lines, "you shoot first" and "I'm a business man on my cell phone!" were my favorite.
And let's hear it for Princess Leia, for being hot and actually still looking like PRINCESS LEIA.
I don't want this to be a movie...I want it to be a documentary on what the fuck really happened.
Please?
Pretty please?
That was so awesome, I want to make love to it and then actually call it the next day.
George Lucas and Star Wars meet Oldboy? That's just too much incest for one three-minute trailer...
I really would like to see this movie. I don't harbor any mega hatred for the prequels like some people do but it would be a super entertaining movie to watch.
I laughed, i cried, i jizzed my Pants started laughing again and cheered the whole Time like the Fanboy i am.
