Star Wars Uncut is a 2010 online parody film produced, edited and directed by Casey Pugh. It is a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1977 film Star Wars consisting of 473 fifteen-second segments created and submitted from a variety of participants. The full film was made available on YouTube in August 2010 for free distribution.[1] Several clips from the film were used in the 2010 documentary The People vs. George Lucas.
Production
In July 2009, Pugh created a website where fans could sign up to recreate specific 15-second scenes[2] from the Star Wars film. Multiple submissions were submitted for each scene, and votes were held to determine which ones would be added to the final film.[1][3] Although the scenes reflect the dialogue and imagery of the original film, each scene is created in a separate distinct style, such as live-action, animation and stop-motion.[3]
Many of the sequences are filmed in deliberately crude, low-budget or otherwise comical manners, and the actors do not always resemble the original cast.[3] One scene is a stop-motion sequence using Lego Star Wars figurines.[1] Another mimics the animation style of the 1968 Beatles film Yellow Submarine.[1] Others are parodies of specific pop culture subgenres, such as anime and grindhouse films.[3] Star Wars Pez candy dispensers are featured prominently in some scenes.[4][5]
Annelise Pruitt was the designer of the Star Wars Uncut website. Jamie Wilkinson worked as developer and Chad Pugh as designer.[1]
Star Wars Uncut won a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Interactive Media on August 21, 2010. The producers were encouraged to submit it to the awards by Richard Cardran, a past Emmy winner and member of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.[1] Pruitt, Wilkinson, Casey Pugh and Chad Pugh each received an Emmy award.[3]
On October 10, 2014, the sequel, Empire Uncut, was released on the official Star Wars Youtube channel.
