This is not your usual Star Wars Edit...
I am happy to say that my first edit, Star Wars - The Epic Picture, has been approved!
Now, I know that everyone can get more than a little burned out by Star Wars edits. Hell, I am in that group too....though happily I keep coming back for more! But I think that this particular edit is certainly different enough to be, at the very least, interesting.
This is an edit that I had in mind for a little while. What started out as a late night, slightly drunk idea, it turned into messing around with some scenes from various films and TV shows and ended up becoming the film that I am writing about now.
(from the cover)
Sounds a bit much? Well, I hope you can bear with me and give it a go. As I said, it is a little different...not completely serious...not completely nutty....certainly a lot of both...

There has been an "in the works" thread going on about this. It might shed some more light on things if you are into that kind of thing, along with a couple of trailers and a rather helpful early review from the submission process.

If anyone is interested, this film is up on INFO now, or feel free to PM for links.
Hopefully it can be on IFDB soon.
Anyway, I hope people might get something out of it. I certainly had a great time making it and am very happy with the results.
Cheers!

Set over the course of 120 years, this film looks at the motivations and pasts
of several seemingly unconnected characters who are kicking about the Star Wars
universe, explores how different political factions and militias cope against impossible
odds in a seemingly unwinnable war, armed with archaic weapons and equipment,
and what the consequences could be should they fail.
This is a Star Wars without lightsaber duels, one where the force itself is only
mentioned in passing, Obi-Wan Kenobi is suffering from communist inspired
delusions and Grigori Rasputin might well be controlling the biggest
and most powerful army in existence.
Does the Galactic Rebel Alliance have what it takes to bring down the insane,
religious zealot known simply as, The Emperor?

Random footage from most Star Wars films. None from TPM. Mostly from ANH.
Dragonslayer
Rasputin: The Mad Monk
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Force 10 From Navarone
old archive footage from WW2 plus much, much more.
- some of the original music either changed or gone completely in some instances and new music added throughout
- some voices overdubbed with lines from other films
- added subtitles for non-English parts
It is a difficult edit to list all cuts, additions or smaller changes. There are MANY.
