The Empire Strikes Back Uncut is the follow-up to Star Wars Uncut, a 2012 fan-made mash-up of the entire original 1977 film by George Lucas. The Empire Strikes Back Uncut project launched in 2013, with fans claiming 15-second scenes to reimagine as they saw fit, resulting in sequences created with everything from action figures to cardboard props to stunning visual effects. Helmed by Casey Pugh, the new film has a wonderful homemade charm, stands as an affectionate tribute to The Empire Strikes Back, and is a testament to the talent, imagination, and dedication of Star Wars fans.
