Star Wars as an Australian Beer Commercial
 |
Ten years in the making.
Shot on 35 mm film.
It’s “Star Wars Downunder,” a half-hour fan movie whose entire message seems to be that in order to make an existing property into something uniquely Australian, it has to be about beer.
I admire the commitment.
And no, so far nobody says, “That’s not a loightsabah! THAT’S a loightsabah!” But there are lightsaber boomerangs, because of course there are.
The full 30-minute version will be online at the end of September. The trailer is after the jump.
Nice work on the CGI, fellas and/or Sheilas.
