Star Wars Uncut
Brilliant fans of Star Wars have outdone themselves with this particular project, Star Wars Uncut. The idea is that the original movie cut up into 15 second clips and normal, everyday people would film a scene they choose in their own way. The folks at starwarsuncut.com have worked their magic in combining segments that they liked into the great fan made version that has been released. Knowing that the amount of work involved in normalizing the audio, keeping the flow of the movie together and just the basic logistics of a task this big is something to be proud of from both the fans and the people that did this.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.
Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor – http://www.aaronvaldez.com) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing – http://www.pughtube.com) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.
The Story:
In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.
SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.
We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.
