'Star Wars Uncut' Gets Extended Trailer, Early Days of Computer Art

by Thomas Houston on April 12, 2010 at 07:10 PM


There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • 'Star Wars Uncut,' the much-hyped crowdsourced film built from hundreds of fans recreating 15 second clips of 'A New Hope' will finally be released soon. In the meantime, a five minute teaser is out on the Web, and it's more exciting and charming than the nearly seven hour prequel trainwreck. [From: BuzzFeed]
  • Translab gives you a glimpse of the early days (yes, pre 8-bit) of computer art, ranging from Herbert Franke's pixelated 'Colorraster 75' to Michael Noll's hypercubes. [From: translab], via: kottke.org]
  • 'Star Wars' also clogged our feed readers today with these bacon AT-ATs. Probably a meme taken too far. [From: Geekoystem]
  • Illustrator Scott Campbell reimagines film's greatest rivalries in our new favorite tumblr, 'The Great Showdown.' Our favorites include Ripley vs. the Queen Alien, 'Dune' and 'Mad Max.' [From: The Great Showdown]
