Star Wars vs. Saul Bass

If Star Wars was filmed two decades earlier and Saul Bass did the opening title sequence, it "might" look like this... This was part of a school project. The song is "Machine" by the Buddy Rich Band off the album Big Swing Face (1967). Note: I'm aware of the errors in the video (spelling, Max Rebo), but I chose to leave them because the video is still enjoyable. This was just for fun and NOT a serious artistic endeavor! Oh, and you MUST watch the video response by brooksy362436. Brilliant!

Sep 19, 2008 - Sorry, I was in a bad mood when I posted. I'm usually much more positive (if you read all the comments I've posted here). Thanks for your comments though. Actually, I dropped out of art school because I thought it was dumb. Art is not dumb though.

Oct 11, 2008 - HAHAHA thats brilliant work right there. It's so true though Saul Bass did the same corny crap no matter what movie his Title sequence was for. He really is very over rated that title sequence does not fit star wars at all but it is EXACTLY what Saul Bass would of done. Hahhaahaha really good work man, it's funny to see someone take the piss out of Saul Bass he really was lame looking back

kenjammin Says:

Oct 18, 2008 - Why do you think Saul Bass is lame? Because it doesn't have visual pyrotechnics? Do you need some laser to go with that?

Nov 19, 2008 - You honestly believe this is a better promotional tool then the original Star Wars into? If thats the case sorry but your a damn fool ... this is a parody, that simple.
