Die Star Wars Filme – zumindest Episode 4-6 – sind Standardwerke der Popkultur. Sie sind nicht sonderlich kompliziert, so daß sie wirklich jeder verstehen kann und oft denke ich, daß den ab meiner Generation eigentlich jeder, wirklich jeder, gesehen hat/haben muß. Dem ist aber nicht so. Wenn man diese drei Filme nur so nebenbei mitbekommen hat und sie dennoch nacherzählen soll, dann kommt dabei etwas Urkomisches heraus.

Intergalaktisch sensationell.

Der “Macher” dazu im Interview:

What made you decide to record your friend Amanda about her ideas of what happened in the Star Wars trilogy and then illustrate it in video form?
Amanda seemed very confident in her knowledge of the Star Wars saga despite never having watched any of the Star Wars films. That was the first good sign. When we sat down to watch them, she started telling me what she thought the plots were going to be, so I told her to hold steady while I went to get my voice recorder. Aside from watching the original trilogy in a single sitting, that was the best decision I made all day.

What was the funniest part of the retold story for you?
The bit where she thought that Chewbacca was a mutated Ewok is the highlight for me. It’s the farthest thing from accurate in the whole video, and it implies that she’s given the subject some real thought. Like she had seen pictures of both and added them up together in her own mind and created this backstory of Chewbacca being ostracized from his own race and then guilted into helping the Ewoks. That’s just good drama.

Dabei können doch schon Dreijährige den Inhalt des Films wiedergeben.

Was lernt man von der Kleinen: “Don’t talk back to Darth Vador… he’ll get’cha”.
