The Simpsons Star Wars Intro

UPDATE: This article has been moved to 1over100.com

While we all wait for the Star Wars version of Family Guy to come out, along comes this surprisingly authentic-looking Star Wars introduction to the Simpsons. It’s actually a homemade parody by illustrator ‘dude’ Rich Cando. First he’s going to get a big cease and desist from Lukas Arts and Fox. Then he’s going to get a big juicy job offer. On the internet that’s known as a win-win scenario.

SPOILER ALERT!
Here are some screengrabs for when the video gets pulled:

Bart Skywalker and Yoggie

Darth Homer

Ned Solo and Chewbarney

Abe Kenobi

Moe’s Cantina

No Droids

Bart Skywalker’s Speeder Bike

Darth Homer Runs Past Ned Solo Frozen In Carbonite

Darth Homer, Queen Margeidala, Bart Skywalker, Princess Lisa, Yoggie, Rush For Couch. (Note homage to George Lukas’ first movie, THX 1138)

Bite Me

 

I’m always on the looking for talented people who make ad guys appear to know what they’re doing (I need all the help I can get). Bite Animation are one of those crews. They’re a small motion graphics & design studio in Johannesburg who’ve done some impressive work for some very picky creatives. They’ve just relaunched their website so go visit them.  If you’re a fan of heavily layered illustration you’ll enjoy the experience.
