Star Wars Uncut: Director's Cut (2012)
In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users 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.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Everybody has seen (or a least knows a little something) about Star Wars. We know the characters, the dialogue, the music, and so forth. Casey Pugh had an idea and that idea was the harness the power the internet and social networking to remake the classic film. The "New Hope" film was cut up into 15 minute segments and fans could select which ones they wanted to remake, the fan-made clips were than voted on and put in the final movie. The final result is a mishmash of different talents from all over the world. We are treated to a mishmash of cut- out animation, flash animation, live-action, featuring an assortment of different actors, family members, toys, cats and puppets playing the various roles. We see homages to various other films including Yellow Submarine, Monty Python, and many others. All and all, it is an interesting experiment in film making for the internet ago.
