Happy Star Wars<\/strong><\/u><\/a> Day! While most enthusiasts might prepare for the unofficial geek holiday of May 4th by rewatching a “Star Wars” movie, reading a pile of “Star Wars” comics, or playing a “Star Wars” video game<\/strong><\/u><\/a>, YouTuber Zach King<\/strong><\/u><\/a> unveiled “Cardboard Wars,” a spectacular “Star Wars” parody starring King alongside Randall Park, Michelle Khare, Airrack, and Bart Johnson.<\/p>\n

But this is no ordinary tribute endeavor since King\u2019s incredible one-hour project recreates 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope<\/strong><\/u><\/a>” entirely out of cardboard, and it simply must be seen to be believed! King graciously provided some exclusive comments on how this hilarious micro-budget miracle came about.<\/p>\n

“‘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\u2019s exactly what we ended up doing.”<\/p>\n

King first became hooked on the galaxy far, far away with the lead-up to the 1999 launch of “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace<\/strong><\/u><\/a>,” when Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox re-released the original trilogy in theaters and the rest is history, as evidenced by his masterful “Cardboard Wars” which was beautifully directed by Josh Fapp.<\/p>\n
