Who’s scruffy-looking? Us nerf-herding Keaggys, actually.

Holy shit,  we’re  Liam is in scene 64/537/2422 (whatever!) of Empire Uncut.

A sequel to the Emmy Award winning, Star Wars Uncut, The Empire Strikes Back garnered over 1,500 responses from fans sending short 15-second segments using their own actors, props, animation, artwork, or action figures to tell the story of The Empire Strikes Back… The Empire Strikes Back Uncut, a fan-made crowdsourced mashup video of the iconic Star Wars sequel, debuts on StarWars.com, along with the return of the Star Wars Fan Film Awards!

Credits: *That’s Sorena as Princess Leia, Liam as Han Solo, me as Luke (sorry, didn’t want to shave for this), and introducing Diane as Chewbacca. It’s about as lo-fi/no-budget as you can get and was made about two years ago. Pretty sure we got in solely based on Rena’s cute little “Did you hear me call him a scruffy-looking nerf-herder?!” smile as she looked at the camera. 

Here’s the original scene. You can watch the full film at starwarsuncut.com/empire or starwars.com/esbuncut.

*Update: Major bummer. Skimmed through and it’s just a snippet, not the whole 15 second scene. You only see Liam. They actually mashed together multiple submissions for some scenes even though the concept as originally presented was for people to remake the movie in 15 second chunks. POOP ON THAT. Makes the email below seem misleading.
