Synopsis:

Heavy Star Wars takes the existing action and adventure, trimming away unnecessary story/action/bad acting, and replaces the soundtrack with Rock music!


Intentions:

My intention was to make a Star Wars movie a bit more easier to watch, especially if you are not a fan. I started with Episode III on a whim, and I am now going back to hopefully create "Heavy" versions of all the movies.


Change List:

The inspiration for my approach was the movie Heavy Metal, and also my background in editing music videos helped with creating a hopefully visually interesting narrative. I also changed the color to match the look of the original Star Wars movies and added a bit more contrast to give it a more "comic book" or animated feel.


Additional Notes:

MTV music video editing was used in the action scenes, but in the moments where I had to cut down scenes for time and what not, whatever was left and I had to piece together, I edited the movie as close as possible to the pacing set by the original movie.
