Kickstarter Seeks to Add Fart Noises to Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

A long time ago, in a colon far, far away…

Hey, a lot of people think the prequels are full of hot air already, so why not prove it? Can Hayden Christensen’s rear end actually give a better performance than his face? For a series of small donations, you can find out.

The Kickstarter price of $1,138 is pretty obviously symbolic – the ultimate goal is to make a point about fair use, and, it seems, stick it to YouTube, who will never, ever notice:

So we’ve started a Kickstarter to –

1. raise awareness of remix art, and how difficult it is to distribute even legal remix video due to copyright concerns and ContentID. Youtube has a really difficult job trying to balance the needs of remix creators and copyright holders and often times they do strike a balance, but sometimes it doesn’t work. This is a discussion that goes way beyond a Kickstarter page, so message us for more info.

2. distribute Star Wars Farts directly to the you in spite of The Empire/ContentID getting us down (like Bothan spies delivering the Death Star plans at any cost)

3. to sell a bunch of absurd (but beautifully illustrated) fart-related merch.

So…worthy cause, or no?
