Casey Pugh et al. - Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut (2012)





2009., Casey Pugh pozvao je internaute da naprave remake filma Star Wars u klipovima dugima 15 sekunda. Tisuće fanova je odgovorilo i Pugh je od tog materijala sklepao ovo jedinstveno filmsko čudovište, slijedeći u montaži scenu po scenu izvorne verzije.






This is arguably my favorite new film of 2012, so I’ll write about it a bit more than the others. Because for one thing, I’ve never seen anything else quite like it, which makes sense, since it hasn’t been possible to make a film like this until now.
In 2009, Casey Pugh placed a call on the internet, inviting people to remake Star Wars in 15-second clips. He then edited the results into a scene-for-scene remake—and really edited them, too, selecting and truncating the clips in order to create startling juxtapositions, and skillfully weaving together a mix of created and found sound.
It would take a whole essay, or several essays, to do the resulting film justice. For starters, the new footage is constantly deforming the original Star Wars, seeing just how far it can swing from the source material and still be recognizable. While many participants utilized similar tools (Legos, puppets, cars, pets, kids), there’s a wonderful variety on display—including shots that, outside of the film’s context, wouldn’t signify Star Wars at all:
It helps of course that Star Wars is such familiar source material. When I watch this fan version, I find myself playing it alongside the well-worn copy that lives in my head. (So here’s a film that takes what might be the most obnoxious thing about Star Wars—its relentless omnipresence—and mines it for artistic effect. This thing is like Viktor Shklovsky: The Movie.)
As stated, Casey Pugh did a lot to maximize the differences in the footage. For instance, he frequently jump cuts between different actors filling in as the same character—thus, we cut from footage of one Leia at 1:34:52—
—to another, at 1:34:53:
Less than two minutes later, another actress is playing the part:
1-36-40 Leia
The result is the most experimental Star Wars fan film I’ve seen. (I’ve written more about experimental tendencies in geek cinema here, here, & here.)
At the same time, however, SWU:DC totally remains a fan film, paying cute homage to Star Wars‘s numerous sources, stuff like samurai movies and WWII flying films—
—as well as to innumerable franchises before and since, many of whom were more than a little inspired by Lucas’s little space opera.
Check it out! Meanwhile, Casey Pugh and others—including, perhaps, you?—are hard at work remaking Episode V. -
