Watch Wes Anderson’s Test Reel for ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’

Share:

Forget Grand Budapest Hotel; any man-child filmmaker worth his daddy issues would drop everything to direct Disney’s Star Wars: Episode VII, so of course Wes Anderson has put together some test footage for consideration. And somehow (i.e., they made it up) Conan got their hands on that reel. Titled A Life Galactic, Anderson’s take is just as twee and intricate as you might hope, featuring a stylized showdown between Han and Greedo and the sweetest two-creature motorcycle ride you’ve ever seen. The sad thing is, we’d be much more likely to sit through this version than whatever the real seventh episode turns out to be.
