A Half-Remembered Retelling Makes ThisStar WarsFan Film Special

There is n’t a mess of writing in the Star Wars universe . Stories seem to mostly be passed along via unwritten culture — one soul telling a story to another , with all the foibles and forgetfulness personal retellings entail . This Star Wars buff film enamor all the fun , and all the forgetfulness , of a good retelling .

create byJeronimus Dekker , “ Star Wars : The Animated Movie ” is a cartoon short that functions both as an homage to the original film and a smell at how storytelling work in a world where those stories trust on the memory of the storyteller . It ’s a sly fleck of misremembering — Alderaan gets a sillier name , the Death Star trench becomes a genuine trench in a fiord on some far - away major planet , and Obi - Wan Kenobi receives a slightly different fate . It ’s on the dot the variety of mistakes someone would make about a account they heard from a bozo that one time and decide to lapse on to someone else .

Which is exactly what mythology like Star Wars is good for . It has infinite potential for reinterpretation and reenactment . This is a particularly fun one . agree it out below .
