Premakes: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back, 1950s Style

If George Lucas had been born about 25 years earlier, Star Wars would have turned out a hell of a lot different. In this excellent “premake” trailer by Ivan Guerrero, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is transformed into a campy 50s sci-fi epic, complete with chintzy-looking robots and “amazing” 3D effects.

The premake was made by splicing together classic vintage sci-fi films such as Flash Gordon and Metropolis. You know you’re watching something straight from the 50s when Princess Leia looks more like a flight attendant then a kick-ass diplomat.
