What if Star Wars was a 50s 3-D Movie?
I got sent this link today about a youtuber Ivan Guerrero. Just looking at his press mentions, I started getting a whole lot of envy tinged with awe. This guy is a genius, and specialises on making “Premakes” (visit his youtube channel).
From the video posting:
Let’s turn back the clock, shall we? Back to a distant time in an alternate universe far, far away… The 50s! It was a simpler age of 3-D movies, and robots named Robby, Gort, and Tobor. A hidden gem of this period in cinema is a little film called “The Empire Strikes Back”, the second chapter in a planned three-part epic science fiction trilogy. While the preceding and succeeding episodes were never actually produced due to budgetary constraints, “Empire” shines as an example of 1950s 3-D space opera. The re-release of this trailer coincides with the 60th anniversary of this amazing film.
