Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut
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.

Along with many other websites, tomorrow I’ll refrain from making any posts on Tumblr. Of course, most people won’t notice at all but I hope that other bloggers have followed suit in protest. Tumblr is one of the websites that can be taken down via SOPA, as there is a lot of copyright infringement going on.
Reblog and spread the word if you feel inclined. Or not.

I’ll be going to see the Los Angeles show, Iris, for my third time this weekend. Yep, it’s that good— not in the least part due to a fantastic score by Danny Elfman.
