Ever wonder what Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back would have been like if it had been made in the 1950s?
Well, the very clever whoiseyevan has created a sample of such a movie. Check out the video for “Premakes” The Empire Strikes Back (1950) here below.
The video was created using various black and white treasures, like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, First Spaceship on Venus, and many more, along with music from Hoist as well as sound effects and dialogue from The Empire Strikes Back Radio Drama.
