Kor37 9 Posted May 25, 2007 Build Your Own 'Star Wars' Whether you're the fanatic 'Star Wars' worshiper who dresses up for conventions, or the more casual fan who thinks he could have done a better job on the crappy prequels, there's some big news today that will no doubt have an effect on any Memorial Day Weekend plans you may have had. George Lucas is famously litigious when it comes to protecting his intellectual property. But in a complete 180, he's officially taking his seat on the online video bandwagon. Starting tomorrow, fans will be able to log onto StarWars.com and access 250 scenes from all six films. Using Eyespot's browser-based video editing tools, fans will be allowed to splice together their own 'Star Wars' reels, which can also include their own video clips. In addition, StarWars.com is unveiling a massive archive of video -- some of it never seen before -- including five years worth of 'Star Wars' Fan Movie Festival shorts and fan-created cult favorites such as 'Chad Vader,' the ingenious Web series (above) starring Darth's lesser-known brother who works in a supermarket. So much for a few beers, some barbecuing and Wiffle Ball Home Run Derby this weekend . . . Sounds like Fun....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
