War of the Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused

It’s just: WOW!

I have to give you 10/10 for this amazing, stunning edit!

I had so much fun watching this!

What I liked most:
- It’s trashy.
- Cool and/or cheesy music added
- Deleted scenes and spoofy b-roll/making-of scenes are cut-in.
- It remembers me of the first time watching Star Wars as a kid.

The only thing I could whine about, if I would, is that R2-D2′s new subtitles are too silly, sometimes. But I do not whine, I just put my two thumbs up.

Thank you so much!

Without a doubt, I think it’s my favourite fan edit.

Which I find funny is the title is literal translation of the french title used for Star Wars : ”La Guerre des Etoiles” . Because I am french-canadian, when I was a kid, I grew up watching La Guerre des Etoiles (french title for Star Wars) and I find it very tongue-in-cheek from TMBTM to title the project The War of the Stars.

I concur with everything positive being written in this thread, I don’t know what else can be added, that when this fan edit was done, I wanted more.

Hats off to TMBTM.

Félicitations pour ce travail magnifique! TMBTM! Tu mérites tous les louanges! Bravo encore!

There's a good reason this is one of the best fanedits ever. If it looks like a quick hack job was done to your favorite movie, that's because you weren't paying attention.

I like this, I like it a lot.

It works on so many levels for me:

1. I like to see fan-edits that take a movie and do something really different from the original format of the movie, it’s creative and done well like it is here makes a fun alternative way to view the movie.

2. In this case it was also a way of inserting some of the unused footage that was originally cut from the movie or never used – so retro’ising the existing footage was a good way of not having the inserted footage stand out too much.

3. when filmstudios are trying as hard as they can to present flawless picture quality its refreshing to see a good movie emulating an older less polished look – but from an artistic perspective.

Using other dialogue from Jame Earl Jones was also unexpected! I laughed out loud the first time i heard the changes and still do everytime a watch it – but also Darth Vader is supposed to be evil right? so in this version he is deffinately more pyscho! (sorry, my bad this is a kind of spoiler i guess??)

Also look out for Obi-Wans off the cuff remark when him and Luke are overlooking Mos Eisley lol

ok running out of what to say, except:

overall 10/10!
