Synopsis:
A Tarantino inspired Star Wars mashup and remix.
Intentions:
To take The Empire Strikes Back and remix it, using songs from and inspired by the films of Quentin Tarantino. 100% of the score has been replaced, as well as overdubbing Yoda with Pai Mei, from Kill Bill Volume 2. There are many visual nods to Tarantino as well, but in no way is this intended to be a new Tarantino film! It's intended as a fun homage to one of my favourite filmmakers, and a remix of one of the best films ever made. Steering away from the Tarantino vibe, I have also included a hero moment for most of the main characters, and thrown in a few songs that Tarantino would never use in a million years... Hope you enjoy it!
Change List:
1) Replaced 100% of the soundtrack. 2) Added a number of visual references to Tarantino movies 3) Given each main character a hero moment/montage 4) Rebuilt the sound effects from scratch in many scenes to allow for the music replacement and to manage spill as much as possible. 5) Created a non-linear structure, split into complete chapters (Inspired by Kill Bill Vol. 1) 6) Replaced Yoda's dialogue with Pai Mei (Kill Bill Volume 2) 7) Replaced the Millenium Falcon's engine with Stunt Man Mike's from Death Proof Version 2, August 2014: Better removal of John Williams spill, minor visual fixes/tweaks.
