If you're not already aware of Star Wars Uncut, allow us to educate you. Star Wars Uncut is a fanmade mash-up remake of the original Star Wars trilogy, beginning with A New Hope. Casey Pugh, a developer dedicated to creating interactive experiences on the web, came up with the idea of crowdsourcing fans to shoot small 15-second clips that would be used to recreate the entirety of the Star Wars films. The first feature-length mash-up was created in 2009 and won an Emmy in 2010 for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media - Fiction. Now it's time for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut. Watch!

Just so you know what we're talking about, here's a trailer for The Empire Strikes Back Uncut:

And if that's something that pleases you, here's the entire mash-up film (via StarWars.com):

In case you need to start from the beginning, here's Star Wars Uncut to crank your engine:

This is a wild mix of various styles, but it's so cool to see work from a bunch of different fans thrown together to remake the Star Wars trilogy. This just goes to show you how passionate and creative fans can be, especially the ones who don't just spend time bitching about Jar Jar Binks. The Empire Strikes Back Uncut came together in a little over a year, and Return of the Jedi Uncut likely won't be too far behind. So stay tuned to the official website for Star Wars Uncut to find out how you can be part of the next fanmade mash-up remake. You probably won't get your own Emmy, but if you're creative enough, make your own.
