What's Lucas Up To?

NYT has a pretty good rundown on Lucas' new 'Clone Wars' animation feature along with concept sketches and workups.

Star Wars Mash

George Lucas has freed up some footage from his 'Star Wars' library for use in making your own mashups of the epic adventure. Go to mashup.starwars.com and put together your best compressed version from 250 authorized clips. Then sync it to your choice of John Williams' music, add transition text, and badabing -- Star Wars mush.

So far, most of the mashups are quite bad -- the music has nothing to do with the scenes, the clips don't follow any kind of order or logic -- really makes you appreciate a good editor. Hurry over and show us your vision. The world needs your 'Star Wars' mashup. This is your destiny! Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
