VIDEO: The Lost STAR WARS Sequel

In 1978 George Lucas envisioned a very different Star Wars sequel based on the original under-performing. Hit the jump to check out a motion comic of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the movie that never was.

Before Empire Strikes Back was decided upon as a follow up the original Star Wars, Splinter of the Mind's Eye was commissioned as a low budget sequel if one of the biggest films of all times tanked.  Check out the embedded video for a breakdown of the story in motion comic form to get an idea of how it would have turned out. And be sure to subscribe to Mr Sunday's YouTube channel, youtube.com/mrsundaymovies.

These movies are almost as hot as Pirates of the Caribbean.

Sad to say this, but, I would have preferred this to what we actually got in 1978 called the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Another lost star wars story - Darth Vader's Dog (who was an innocent lost in the destruction of the death star, bad timing to have bring your dog to work day.)

I remember my brother reading the original novel back when it first came out between movies, but I never read it myself.

I actually enjoyed the rebelling of it, for what it's worth, so it doesn't seem all that bad really. Obviously the end of the duel could have been punched up a tad, because... Yeah... Tripping over your own arm is... yeah.

Fun new segment... I'm looking forward to more.

@Chewtoy - Had a bunch of SW books growing up, including "Splinter". Don't think I read more than a page or two of it, though.

The book was lame. Luke was too new to the Force to be a Jedi. He uses his light saber as a tool to open doors and crap. And Luke is so hot for Leia it's distracting.
