A New But Somewhat Abbreviated Hope
Someone has remade Star Wars using only Hasbro Star Wars toys. When I say remade, I do mean remade only about three minutes of the 2-hour movie, but I still think it’s awesome. When I was collecting Star Wars toys with an unhealthy obsession, that was kind of my goal — to get every figure and ship that appeared in the original trilogy. That meant every costume variation of every character as well, and, of course, numerous Stormtroopers. I had a vague idea of showcasing them in some future house of mine, scene by scene, but this movie was a much better idea. The impossibility of ever buying a house when I get spending all my money on Star Wars toys only occurred to me much, much later. (Via Geeks Are Sexy)
