    This is great! Top effort all round. Using British colonial imagery alongside the Japanese Samurai (bearing in mind that George Lucy's was influenced by films like Akira Kurosawa's 'Hidden Fortress') is a masterstroke. Han Solo as a cowboy - another good parallel. The nipples on the Samurai stormtroopers armour - not sure about that though. Reminds me of George Clooney's Batman armour in 'Batman and Robin'. That almost derailed and k-o'd future Batman appearances. Glad we got past that wardrobe malfunction!

    I had an idea like this once. The Death Star was instead a massive battleship with nuclear missiles and Luke would have to fly in with his World War 2 era fighter plane and drop a bomb in the right spot to blow it up. This scene in the video would have taken place on that massive battleship where Han and his smuggling plane the Millennium Falcon was forced to land in the water (It’s a water plane) due to enemy aircraft forcing them to. The planes parachutes were missing so the empire assumed the pilots bailed and the plane landed on autopilot or some stupid crap like that even though they are just hiding in the water planes smuggling department. I don’t know, it sounds stupid when I type it out.

I mentioned that to my star wars fan friends and as a whole theiy had never thought of that before either haha - good observation Gordon!

    I'm interested in making an Internet series mostly designed to teach the untapped potential of simple green screen and prop scaling effects, but all through free tools available on very basic laptops and phones, and your channel seems like the perfect outlet to learn and observe some directing tips for my project. For example, I didn't think to use the frame, both for themed verisimilitude, but also for limiting the aspect ratio to hide flaws like the lack of moving legs, as well as using close ups that the characters pull away from to reveal a wide shot of the environment. Thanks, and if you'd like someone else to work with I would be happy to contribute ideas where this format could flourish
