Well, after hours of rotoscoping, PhotoShop editing, and more rotoscoping, to get the right light saber effects, I was able to put together this mildly feeble video short for my kids.

I used VideoLAN to capture clips and screen shots off of the original movie, then Pinnacle Studio Ultimate to compile the video. I was able to find light saber sound effects online, but I compiled the audio for the introduction using GoldWave. I also used Nero Burning ROM to create a VCD to be able to show it on our “big screen” T.V.

Ran across this while Googleing one of my favorite 80′s cartoons for my son, M.A.S.K.

Star Wars toys that never made it.
