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 - aaronvaldez.com) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing - 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.

In case anyone wants to see my scene #168 that would go at 42:56, starring my 81-year old coworker, that apparently wasn't as good/funny as a bunch of action figures, here it is: vimeo.com/6001928

Fantastic. Congrats to everyone involved. The creativity and love that went into all these individual shots is astounding. It's so beautiful to see the very last shot, where Luke, Han Leia and Chewie are seen in their original state again (though with different subtitiles ;) and everything comes full circle. Magnificent!

Meat Bingo 1 month ago

A mixture of the rather obvious Lego/figure approach but interspersed with some genuinely inspired approaches - some surreal, ironic, subversive and laugh-out-loud moments if the viewer sticks with it

Myriam Di Carlo 1 month ago

impressive! the diversity of styles, creativity to solve each of the 15 seconds, the look that everyone does the same thing results in this film, funny and spectacular. Thanks to all who participated by showing that variety is the pleasure jajajaj

Finally finished YES! There needs to be another remake, possibly of a really bad Star Wars movie(aka Episode 1) to see how funny that would be.

I'm disappointed that you included scenes that I don't want to show my four-year-old. Must every good thing be sullied by pervs and potty-mouths?
Casey Pugh 4 weeks ago

Apologize for the inconvenience, Curtis. When thousands of people are asked to create something, it's nearly impossible to control the content they contribute. I'm just thankful that we managed to stay below PG-13!
Curtis G 4 weeks ago

It may be impossible to control what was contributed, but you control(led) what was included.

That aside, it's pretty damn epic. I'm only 20 minutes in and I've laughed many, many times. It's some kind of record.
