Star Wars Uncut Is Unleashed
It is done. Star Wars Uncut, the fan-made remake of Star Wars — done by hundreds of nerds in 15-second increments — is finished, and it is awesome. This is just one clip, obviously, but you can head right here to watch the whole thing from the beginning. Newspaper helmets, horrible CG, action figures on fire, adorable children — Star Wars Uncut has it all, and that’s just the first five minutes. I know some of you think this is awful, but whatever. It’s a celebration of a great movie, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun. Go ahead and hate fun, you bastards. I won’t stop you.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
