War Of The Stars: A New Hope Grindhoused (Star Wars) - TMBTM
Nifty reworking of a classic viewed numerous. Edit incorporates plenty of ugly, deleted footage, making the experience greasier and dirtier. No disrespect intended. This is a snickering subversive retelling that takes its sweet time before slithering into broken territory.
The outtakes were all crappy, poor resolutions and bleached colors. Editor TMBTM matched the look across the edit, so there was no jarring issues. The editor is utterly professional, transitions and edits were smooth and well-thought out.
2 Channel stereo, no subs (yet R2D2 is subbed throughout, and it proves to be one smart ass astrodroid).
I wondered about reinserted footage of storm troops on Tatooine. If redubbed, clever dialogue of poorly motivated workforce. The old saw about good help being hard to find applies.
This is an altogether deceptive story that feints like an extended version, but midway begins to weave into a different direction.
I can reassure uncertain readers that the modifications progress logically and bloom in the second installment.
A lot of this is funny as hell. Storm troopers, who cannot shoot for shit in the original trilogy (Jango must have been rolling in his grave over nth generation clones) in this edit blast resistance left and right. Jawa haters, check this out. As noted, R2D2 sees all, chatters away, but no one pays attention to him. Probably because he talks too much. A generous assortment of bonus goodies here, and you can’t beat Frances Gall (thank you for not going with the obvious ”Chick Habit”).
There may be purists who hate tinkering with this installment, at canon. Forget ‘em. This is a gaspipe kick. Go for it.
