50 Best Websites 2007

Article Tools

After you've watched the Clone Wars trailer and the spoof video "Chad Vader: DayShift Manager," head over to the Star Wars mashup page where you can make your own Star Wars movie. The site provides more than 300 video clips, audio tracks and photos from George Lucas' originals for you to recut, rearrange and remix as you wish. You can even throw in your own video footage or stills, then post the results for others to watch or even to incorporate in their own mashup. Registered viewers can leave comments and give ratings. The site aims to be suitable for children, so any offensive material will be taken down. There are clips featuring all your favorite characters (Luke, Han, Chewy) and there's Leia, the armed princess in white choir robe and ear buns, and Leia as Jabba The Hut's prisoner, sporting that golden two-piece. Billie Dee Williams (a.k.a. Lando) plays host and tour guide. The easy, drag-and-drop editing tools are provided by Eyespot, which runs its own video-mixing site. For more video mashing mayhem, go to Jumpcut.com.
