Galactic Empire Invades San Francisco

Posted on Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 2:42 pm by: Peter Sciretta

Has Darth Vader’s Galactic Empire invaded San Francisco, or is it just Imperial Fleet Week in the Bay Area?

Great work by MHorn! Let’s hope that George Lucas doesn’t get any ideas to shoot the Star Wars Universe Cloverfield-style.

being a film major, i can tell by the pixels

The Death Star shots look good.
Some of the comp work and tracking could use a little more love though.
Still, it’s very promising. :)

The Imperial Cruiser shots reminded me of Independence Day. The Death Star shot look freakin legit, I feel like if I stare outside I might see it there.

That’s not the worst pitch for a movie I’ve ever heard (Star Wars cross-over with present day Earth).

It worked for Transformers.

I love how none of the people give a damn that the friggin’ Death Star is hanging out just overhead.

Sort of like the Clone Wars cartoon coming out this week.

The Death Star is WAYYY too close to earth! I like how the TIE fighters and the Star Destroyers are just casually flying around.

I had to watch this on my friends really old computer but was someone throwing something to the guys in the walker? If so, It looked like they dropped it. LOL!

I have to say, nice touch. I was expecting the Death Star to take out that jet near the end. Next time…more violence.

Harrison and Steve

how did this leak?

this is footage from Episode VII, currently in-post. george plays Emperor Lucas and comes to earth in 2011 to wreak vengeance on “pushy, non-loyal bitches” (sic?)at Comic Con. john williams and the London Philharmonic have been recoding a month ahead of schedule.

oh and “we’re making this one for the fans”.

Harrison and Steve Says:

August 16th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

P.S.

george claims the script isnt a ripoff of
“Star Trek IV: the voyage home” but we know better.
