Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars Trailers

We're all familiar with the story: a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, on a planet called Tattooine, a boy named Luke Skywalker is adopted by the only remaining Jedi knight and helps the Rebellion destroy the Death Star after learning the ways of the force. However, what if "Pulp Fiction" director Quentin Tarantino had directed George Lucas' script, using Kenner action figures and stop computer animation?

"Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars" is a 4-minute animated short film by writer and director Evan Mather and thanks to the references on Star Wars and Oscar-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, this is among his most known works, an early career effort, but not a very early. It came out in 2002, but looking at the date displayed in the actual movie, it is even a few years older and heading straight towards its 20th anniversary. And yes, in here you see what a Star Wars film by Tarantino may have looked like / may look like, which is a bit more relevant these days as it seem Q is about to direct the next Star Trek movie. Anyway, back to this one here: Of course it is all about the comedy and not really about what such a project would have looked like. You also have several references about Star Wars and past Tarantino films like Pulp Fiction for example. It does a look cheap yes and that explains the rating here on imdb, but sometimes it was also fairly entertaining thanks to the references and you could see Mather's dedication. All in all, I still give it a thumbs-down. I also don't think Star Wars fans (unlike myself) or Tarantino fans (like myself) really need to check this one out. It's nothing special really. Skip the watch.

Just finished watching "Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars" and I don't really know what to think about it. I asked myself why I even watched this movie in the first place.I really don't understand why this movie is named "Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars", the movie has very little to do with Tarantino's style. The movie just mainly consists out of some "Star Wars" action figures that play scene's from "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope". There are only few real notable Tarantino references and problem with them is that they are not really funny.I have a feeling that I probably would have liked this movie better if it had been longer and had some more story.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

This short film was amusing to say the least. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, and am perfectly happy with the story line it presented (except when Han Solo stepped on Jaba) but this take is absolutely hilarious. It's very cheesy but also packed full of laughs. There were also a few nicely worked in references to Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. All in all it was nothing monumental but very funny.

This is a good piece of animation but not a very good film... but it's not supposed to anyway. I am surprised that the "Royale With Cheese" dialog was NOT mocked. Overall, it's an entertaining piece of work, and I'm sure its director will find a job in animation - not in a director's chair.
