Death Star Trench Run Recreated in Minecraft

Fans of Star Wars lovingly assembled a video recreating Luke Skywalker's amazing feat. Stay on target!

Even if you loathe anything that's recreated [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/112701-LucasFilms-Confirms-adding-NOOOOOO-to-Return-of-the-Jedi] in the sandbox of Minecraft before, but a near shot-for-shot recreation of an entire scene rendered in blocky goodness? That makes YouTube poster ParadiseDecay's video all the more exceptional.


I love the video's use of sound from the original spliced with voiceover work from the creators. The mix delivers an authentic feel while accentuating the care taken to craft such a detailed video. The explosion of the Death Star was a little lackluster - I would have liked to see more of a boom, honestly - but the whole piece is just made of pure (and I don't use this term lightly) awesome-sauce.

If you're interested in how ParadiseDecay and his team made the nearly 5 minute video, check out the "Making of" video below:

Anyways, awesome as all hell. Really, really cool.

One more small thing, they should have found a way to speed up camera movement or just sped up the video, because it looked as if they were riding slow-ass donkeys, and not flying X-Wings through that trench.

That looks...awful to be honest. I had no idea what was happening other than some grey and black blocks.

I just have to put up one of the comments from that video:

"@xAztec92 Sweet coping mechanism for the fact that you will never accomplish something as amazing as this. Enjoy that... "social" life of yours."
