Star Wars Fans Work together to Create Star Wars: Episode IV Uncut

Star Wars Fans Work together to Create Star Wars: Episode IV Uncut

In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

So grab some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the Awesomeness!

Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fan’s Star Wars Weekend Encounter

Capturing Disney in Pictures: A Fans Star Wars Weekend Encounter

Andrea Canaday's Star Wars Weekend Encounter

Every Photo has a story…

Chip & Company fan Andrea Canaday from Beaufort, South Carolina , and her family love to attend Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.  Andrea said, “Every picture does have a story. I took some great photos on a Disney vacation in June of 2009.  We were also staying at our Home Resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, for the first time since it’s completion. A dear friend I had not seen in a while and her fiance were also joining me and my family for the weekend. Can you say we were excited?”

Picture this…

When Andrea and her family arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Storm Troopers where all across the top of the ticket entrance. “It was crowded and as my friend and I were waiting for the lines to move, we decided to take pictures of them. This particular Storm Trooper noticed us taking his picture. The next thing you know, we were interacting with each other.  I love to interact with the characters; it’s so much fun!  He pointed his Blaster Rifle at us and then did the ‘I’m watching you’ with his fingers. You know, the pointing to his eyes and then to person thing.  My friend and I did it right back.  He pointed the Blaster Rifle back at us and did the ‘I’m watching you’ again.  This went on for a little bit, and we laughed and carried on with him. It was one of those magical memories you never forget!”

Thanks, Andrea, for sending in your Star Wars Weekend photo and your story, and thank you Chip & Company fans for coming along for a photographical ride!

Star Wars Weekends Returns to the Walt Disney World Galaxy in May 2012

Star Wars Weekends Returns to the Walt Disney World Galaxy in May 2012

Star Wars Weekends returns to the Walt Disney World Resort during May and June 2012, as Disney’s Hollywood Studios celebrates the Star Wars film saga and the hit animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The annual special event, included in regular theme park admission, will be held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May 18-June 10, 2012.

The power of the Force and magic of Disney combine as plenty of out-of-this-world characters – including Wookiees, droids, Ewoks, bounty hunters and Jedi – roam the streets of Disney’s Hollywood Studios for meet-and-greet opportunities with guests.

The centerpiece of the celebration is the spectacular 3-D attraction, “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue.” The attraction, which opened last spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, uses eye-popping 3-D, a dramatic musical score and motion simulator-based technology to immerse guests in the Star Wars galaxy like never before.

“Jedi Training Academy,” one of the interactive entertainment experiences at the theme park, allows young guests to learn from a Jedi Master before testing their newly acquired skills in a battle with Darth Vader.

Also featured at Star Wars Weekends: the chance for fans to purchase one-of-a-kind Star Wars memorabilia, Star Wars games, plus there’s special Star Wars parades and motorcades, star conversations and autograph sessions with Star Wars actors and creative talent (celebrity lineup will be announced at a later date). The ever-popular “Hyperspace Hoopla” ends each Star Wars Weekends day with a show filled with comedy, dancing, high-energy music and many of the famed Star Wars characters.

For more information and future updates, guests may go online to disneyworld.com/starwarsweekends or starwars.com.
