1/20/16 Repurposing Star Wars Footage?

    We went and saw Star Wars: Rogue One this past weekend and although I am glad we saw it, it was a bummer of a movie.  Man, everybody dies, or it is implied and if you know the movie from 1977, it is not a spoiler, just a fact.  That was the price to get the data needed to destroy the Death Star.
    Anyways, before the movie started, Alamo Drafthouse has a habit of playing stuff that relates to the movie somehow.  When we saw the last Avengers movie, there were cheap knockoff Iron Man and Hulk wannabes from other countries.  The videos mostly look homemade, so it is very kitschy but still fun, for the most part.  Star Wars has a huge following and they kept showing commercials from the 80's with stuff that we actually had as toys, yet Chubs kept turning to me asking if the stuff actually existed.  Yes, it did.  I remember having the Death Star framework, complete with garbage bin and foam bits inside to crush our action figures.  We also had the landspeeder, a couple x wing fighters, and tie fighters.  Our childhood was pretty good.
    Aside from the blast from the past toys, the best part of the previews was the songs made by Bad Lip Reading.  They used the scene where Luke goes to see Yoda in Dagobah when he gets his original training.  The song is silly, mostly about Yoda going to the beach and being overwhelmed by Seagulls and then warning Luke to be careful about Seagulls in general.  What I liked most was seeing that the voiceovers were done by real actors, like Jack Black, Jon Heder, and Maya Rudolph.  In the theater we heard the one Seagulls song, but going to You Tube, I found another three songs plus shortened versions of the three original movies with voiceovers that have nothing to do with what was going on in the original versions.
    Star Wars and all of its movies have become part of our environment.  Maybe because we grew up playing with the toys, maybe because it is such a huge franchise that it permeates even into other movies that have nothing to do with it.  I think it is awesome to see the familiar scenes but then hearing totally different conversations coming out of the actors.
    I dare say it is almost like rap music, where they take a bass line or riff from another song and even if it is familiar to us, they add different rhymes and/or poetry and before you know it, it is labeled a new song, even though you can hear the backbone of the original in there.
