This $25 'Attack of the Clones' Remake Is Better Than the Prequels
Hoekstra
On Tuesday   a guy named Tim Hoekstra  released  his  full-length remake of Attack of the Clones starring  his  friends. It's over two hours long and recreates just about every scene from the movie  sometimes shot for shot  using toy lightsabers  bad wigs  and what appears to be someone's parents' two-car garage.
Sure  Hoekstra's version is maybe a little hard to follow if you don't know the original already  but Attack of the Clones barely makes sense on its own.
This is the second time  Hoekstra  and  his  pals have remade an entire Star Wars movie from scratch  following a brilliant Revenge of the Sith remake that reenacted the entire climactic Anakin/Obi-Wan fight scene on a beach at low tide or whatever. This new one doesn't have as many iconic moments as the first  but the low-budget remake of Clones drastically improves on that wack-ass battle between Dooku and Yoda and  somehow  manages to sell those wooden romance lines better than Natalie Portman. The arena scene is also particularly transcendent.
"The entire film was once again shot on a Samsung J5 and our total budget was $25 " Hoekstra wrote about the new remake. "All the props were junk we had lying around... our main motivation was to have some fun and hang out."
