I am recreating ‘Star Wars – A New Hope (Episode IV)’ the FULL film in vanilla Minecraft.
I have not worked on this project for over 3 years and I have not felt inspired to continue due to stress and high expectations.
So I have decided to release what I have a achieved so far.
I have high hopes the Minecraft community can pull through and help me complete the FULL film.
For now enjoy 1 and 1/2 hours (75%) of the finished film
This is a fan-film project ONLY. Copyright infringement is not intended and all links to appropriate parties are in the video descriptions. I support George Lucas, Lucas film, Disney and Mojang for making this universe possible. All video footage has been created in Minecraft over a period of 9 years with custom skins, art, builds and maps.
Lucas Films were cool with this project, their only stipulation was I was NOT ALLOWED to use the OFFICIAL Soundtrack from the film. So you will need to add this yourself using the Original Star Wars DVD or BluRay.
To watch the final film with sound you will need the original 1977 version of the film in your DVD/Blu-ray player.

MAY 7th 2015: I had an interesting email from a guy who used to work for Lucas PR and even sat with Mr Lucas in the cafe at The Ranch. I had contacted him earlier about a PC Game for my Games Channel on YouTube. His initial reply was “Wow – I got an email from the creator of Minecraft Star Wars!!” 🙂
– It was an honour and added inspiration to hear such kind words!
PROGRESS REPORT:
– 75% of the film is complete!

Minecraft – Star Wars – A New Hope is a transformative fan-film spoof parody based on the 1977 film ‘Star Wars – Episode 4’ It will be 100% FREE to view! It is being created by a fan, for the fans.
This project has been 4 years in the making and some of the individual sets have taken upto 6 months just to build. No mods have been used, just custom textures and art.
All video footage is from the game itself and any characters featured are parodies of the original characters. These are depicted by ‘testificates’ and simple custom textures and skins.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE:
There will be ‘NO SOUND’ with the Minecraft version of the film. You will need to own the Original version of ‘A New Hope’ (as shown in the box above) in order to sync the Original film’s soundtrack.

Minecraft - Star Wars - A New Hope 
Amazing! Good luck to you and your film..I cant wait to see the entire Movie!
Thank you, and many thanks for the mini- Star Destroyers.
COOL MOVIE! But I don’t have the DVD on blu-ray so I can’t have sound D:
I picked up a 2nd copy from my local 2nd hand store for just £6
Wow this is brilliant, my son and I have just become fans! This must have taken ages to make! 😀
Thank you, I’m about 1/2 way through the film now, its getting quite complicated around this point

Thank you Kind Sir!
Trailer number 1 has a flash frame right before the voice over begins (43 seconds in)
Well spotted. I never saw that. It’s due to the editing 🙂
“To watch the final film with sound you will need the original 1977 version of the film in your DVD/Blu-ray player.”
That doesn’t exist, unless you mean the special edition, and not the original. The only DVD version of the original I’ve ever seen was a bootleg of a Japanese laser disc.
Oops– it looks like I’m behind the times, and this DOES exist now. My bad.
No worries.
Yes it’s on the Special Edition as shown in the box-art version on the main page.
Hello! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good dkkadffdfdde
The Project is really absolutely wonderful and I wish good improvement your daughter really sincerely. Greetings from Germany
Paradise Decay, I would recommend that you make a tie-in project based on this project on
LEGO Ideas
http://ideas.lego.com/
LEGO Minecraft became a reality through this site. Over 40,000 people have visited your site
10,000 supporters are needed for consideration on Ideas.
Why not make one? It could attract the attention of George Lucas!!!
Thanks John, I’ll look into that!
@ParadiseDecay: Star Wars released official Minecraft Skins. http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-skins-bring-the-force-to-minecraft
It might be a little late, but can you re-do some scenes using these OFFICIAL skins? It would greatly improve the quality.
Question: Are you remaking the Jabba the Hutt Scene from the Scpecial Edition? Because if you do, you can feature Boba Fett, using the skin from the skin pack. Think about it. Please.
Hi,
I will not be re-doing any scenes with the Official Skins. I started this project before these we’re available and 4 years worth of work would need to be re-done.
And No, Jabba’s scene is not featured in the Original Movie.
Thank you for your support and comments.
