Creative, these Star Wars fans are. Hmmmmmm.
As the world waits in anticipation of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII, the first movie in a third trilogy, you can watch a classic, Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, presented in the wildest way ever!
More than 480 fan-produced, 15-second segments have been edited together to create the mother of all reenactments of the 1980 film, featuring every shot, and it's totally authorized! The video was posted on the official Star Wars YouTube page on Friday.
The clips for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut were chosen from among more than 1,500 submissions and include different animation styles, live-action sequences, cute kids, emojis, iPhone sounds...and Stormtroopers wearing dresses. Meanwhile, villain Darth Vader channels Mr. Potato Head.
The Empire Strikes Back Uncut is the follow-up to Star Wars Uncut, a 2010 fan-made mash-up of the entire original 1977 film by George Lucas.
"The project launched in 2013, with fans claiming 15-second scenes to reimagine as they saw fit, resulting in sequences created with everything from action figures to cardboard props to stunning visual effects," the YouTube post read.
"Helmed by Casey Pugh, who oversaw 2010's Emmy-winning Star Wars Uncut, the new film has a wonderful homemade charm, stands as an affectionate tribute to The Empire Strikes Back, and is a testament to the talent, imagination, and dedication of Star Wars fans," it said.
Star Wars: Episode VII is currently in production and is set for release on Dec. 18, 2015. Original cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford are reprising their roles as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo.
The new movie features newcomers such as Girls star Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in 12 Years a Slave, Gwendoline Cristie, who plays Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones and Oscar Isaac, who appeared with Driver in the 2013 film Inside Llewyn Davis.
Abrams has shared what many fans believe was an Easter Egg for Star Wars: Episode VII, while its Millennium Falcon appeared to have been discovered by accident by a pilot in England in September.
