Back in art school (2008) I helped create a 60 second version of the original Star Wars.

We shot it on a potato, but I think the results are still pretty entertaining.

Original description from YouTube follows

======================================================================

Coursework for BA Graphics 1st year at Chelsea College of art.

Star Wars, by Matthew Gaffen, Hanna Benjamin, Jack Sharples, and Charlie McCarrick.

In Answer to a brief in which students took the name of a Hollywood feature film, and then recreate the movie as faithfully as possible condensed into 60 seconds.

3 weeks ago in a galaxy not too far away...

Our heroes have 60 seconds to save the rebel alliance. Join the slightly effeminate Luke Skywalker (Charlie Ransom McCarrick), eccentric hermit Obi Wan Kenobi (Matthew Sebastian Michael Gaffen) and hardened adventurer Han Solo (Louis 'Eyebrows' Village) on a whirlwind adventure to save Princess Leia (Hanna J. Benjamin) and the galaxy from Darth Vader (Thomas James Nibblet and Michael James Taborda) and the dark side of the force.
