I dreamed that Disney was remaking A New Hope, and a guerrilla crew of faneditors had sneaked onto the set during filming of the Tantive IV attack. In this remake there were green lightsabers and lasers, and the fanediting crew was trying to film alternate angles of the action in order to ‘improve’ some of the less than fantastic shots of the original film.

Then the dream shifted and I was watching The Phantom Menace, except that it was made during the 50’s with the old Lucas story sensibility and style. Because of this, the old, grainy film began on a desolate Tatooine that had recently undergone some sort of environmental collapse. The air was full of dust and 12 year old Anakin wandered a wasteland littered with nuclear-age debris. He wandered into an old-west style town with adobe buildings, and the ragged humanity peered out of darkened windows as he passed. I noticed that the live action was poorly composited into matte paintings which extended the vista of the destroyed city. Then I woke up.
