STAR WARS: The Boost’s Parent’s First Date Edition

Time Cut: 12 min.

No menus.

Soundtrack tweaks.

Since I was a lad, I was regailed with stories about how my parents first date was to see Star Wars, in Aug 77. I always here the same description.

-They were late, and R2 was just about to be captured by Ewoks when they walked in.

-Everyone in the place cheered when the Falcon went to hyperdrive.

So as a novelty gift I’m editing the GOUT (because they said they watched it at a crummy theater) to include an animation of walking into a theater at the beginning (taken from an old video trailer) and starting at R2 in the valley. I’m adding audience noise sound effects at a few parts too, notably the first time the Falcon goes to hyperdrive.

I have no plans to make this available to the public, because for the life of me I cant imagine anyone else wanting to watch it. Just thought someone might get a kick from hearing about it.

(I suppose the one other thing would be to add the original Beru voice, but that’s just too much work, and my folks are old, they’ll never notice)

 Especially if they think Artoo was captured by "Ewoks".  :)

 

Cute.

Aw, why no public release? I was hoping to find out what it was like to go on a date with your mom :(

Will it be a reconstruction of what they actually saw (smoke plumes up the left and right sides from the smoking seats, the sound of Crusader nuts being rattled and choc-ice headache yelps) or what they thought they saw (Ewoks capturing R2 in 1977)?

 My mom calls everything an Ewok.

Jawas- Ewoks

Tauntauns- Ewoks.

Jar Jar- Ewok

Younglings- Ewoks.

The Galactic Senate- Buncha Ewoks.

God bless her, she tries, raising three boys in the 80s with Star Wars mania.

I misread the first post that the movie was only going to be 12 minutes long, as it would be only the parts his parents were paying attention to, if you take my meaning.  Born in 1978, TheBoost?

Which country was this Boost?

Did they stay and watch the beginning after the end of the film?

If so it might be nice to try and track down trailers for other films on at the time and advert idents.
