Star Wars Day got a cardboard twist this year.

YouTuber Zach King has released “Cardboard Wars,” a “Star Wars” parody that recreates 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope” entirely out of cardboard. The one-hour project stars King alongside Randall Park, Michelle Khare, Airrack and Bart Johnson, and was directed by Josh Fapp.

King told SPACE the film was made as a tribute to the franchise’s impact on filmmaking.

“‘Star Wars’ has truly inspired so many filmmakers and reshaped how movies are made,” King tells SPACE. “As a nod to how groundbreaking those films were, we asked ourselves, what if we made a version out of cardboard and shot it in just five days? That’s exactly what we ended up doing.”

The article says King first got hooked on “Star Wars” in the lead-up to the 1999 release of “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” when Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox re-released the original trilogy in cinemas.

He said one of the biggest challenges was the stormtrooper costumes.

“One of the funnier challenges was our cardboard stormtrooper costumes,” he recalls. “They were super stiff and hard to see out of, just like in the original films. That made moving around in tight shooting spaces pretty difficult. Also, shooting an entire movie in five days was a huge challenge. We made it work by filming primarily in one warehouse (aside from some desert exteriors), and running multiple cameras and scenes at the same time.”

The project also copied the style of the original trilogy’s visual effects work, including the use of miniatures and motion control.

“From the beginning, we wanted to film the ships the same way George Lucas did in the original trilogy,” King adds. “So we built miniature and even some ‘bigature’ versions of the ships and used motion control to recreate that classic look and feel.”
