The Star Wars Blooper Reel Turned into a Trailer for Star Wars


(Video Link)

You've seen the wonderful blooper reel from the filming of the first Star Wars movie. Now you can see it mashed up with the narration from the first Star Wars trailer. Slackstory blended the two perfectly into a tale of courage and stupidity. It's great, but I'd rather see a remake of Episode IV with every character is played by a Gungan.

I don't know how anyone under the age of 40 can appreciate how significant the release of "Star Wars" was at the time. The last really amazing science fiction feature was "2001: A Space Odyssey" with its incredible models, sets and effects. Nobody without a degree in philosophy could understand it, but it was a visual treat. After that were decades of very occasional 'sci-fi' features that were really bad in one way or another. When I saw the television ad for "Star Wars", I was stunned by the level of detail and realism it displayed. It was a space-faring society, but one that was not made of powerful overlords and otherworldliness. It was in space . . . but still kinda ordinary. Time Magazine called it a "well-worn" universe with its dinged-up landspeeders and dented robots. A very unique vision.

It was also an incomparable visual and audio treat, with the surround sound and amazing visual effects and modeling. Industrial Light and Magic created a whole new world of modeling and simulation that had never been seen before.

I never waited in a long line for a movie, but I was willing to stand and wait for "Star Wars"
