Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars (2002 Video) User Reviews

Amusing to say the least....

[Mad Child · 6/10 · 7 July 2002]

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.

Making fun of the Starwars hype

[marenqo · 6/10 · 27 January 2002]

Short but excellent,

Real fun garanteed. Finally somebody that took the opportunity to strike upon Starwars. Starwars getting pretty much screwed by this one.

Honor to Tarantino. One of the greatest in ever

"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.

LAME-O

OK a dude plays with his old Star Wars action figures, tape it, put some funky music for the soundtrack and steals dialogue from the Star Wars flicks. One or two references to Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction and BAM! QUENTIN Tarantino'S STAR WARS. It sparks some interest to losers like me but it totally fails at delivering laughs or even giggles. I'm sorry but I did better animation as a child, not knowing what I was doing. And what is that crap at the end : "Made with Macintosh". Geez that guy is proud isn't he? Heck he surprised me, I never knew you could edit video with a Mac! Hot diggedy! I'll buy three! Thank you Macintosh, you made this crap-fest possible.

You know, I love parody when it's well done and subtle or even when it's trashy and in your face but this... this is half an effort. Like an hour of work, maybe two. God, why is it listed on IMDb???

AVOID!

Why is it even named "Quentin Tarantino's" Star Wars?

[Boba_Fett1138 · 3/10 · 4 December 2004]

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.

3/10

A Sweeping Film of Epic Proportions

[Byers · 26 January 2000]

"Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars" is a creative and imaginative piece of filmmaking. Using the Star Wars action figures we've all come to know and love (especially the rare Slave Leia figure) and the techniques of Quentin, the plot of Episode IV is told in all its glory. Filmed on an epic scale and filled with humor and sadness, tragedy and triumph, the movie takes us through a breathtaking journey of both the Star Wars universe and the work of Tarantino. I recommend that every fan of movies and Star Wars, as well as everyone else, check it out whenever they have a few.

A truly memorable Star Wars parody.

The first time I watched this film I couldn't stop laughing. And now I watch it at least once a week because it only seems to get funnier (though I kind of felt sorry for poor Greedo). Anyway, I think that the makers of this film do a very good job mixing the story of A New Hope with the filmmaking of Quentin Tarantino. They also do an excellent job making the film relentlessly funny.

Not very Tarantino-Esque...

[electrifyingolivier · 25 July 2001]

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.
