Hardware Wars – The Original Edition (1978)
Amazon.com
San Francisco filmmaker Ernie Fosselius made the most successful short film of all time in the 1978 Hardware Wars, an inspired, mock-trailer for a nonexistent, cheapo rip-off of Star Wars. It worked like this: instead of Chewbacca, Fosselius offers the Cookie Monster. Instead of Darth Vader’s breathy, slightly echoed voice emerging somehow behind that black-mask helmet, we get a villain whose every ranting utterance is so muffled even this film’s Princess Leia equivalent beseeches him, “What? I don’t understand you.” And so on. Part of the joke is that George Lucas’s revolutionary special effects are supplanted by common kitchen gizmos–mixers, toasters–that serve as spaceships and weapons sources. The updated special edition contains 20 computer-generated “special defects” that don’t–the distributor boasts–at all match Fosselius’s earlier version. Um… right on? –Tom Keogh
