For his senior thesis at the
School of Visual Arts, Dan Perri imagined an
Empire Strikes Back that forgoes the traditional opening crawl and went with a
James Bond-like gun barrel sequence. Perri unused a
Radiohead song that was originally intended for the opening number of
Spectre but was rejected in favor of
Sam Smith. As for his inspiration behind the project? "
I really wanted to play on the concept of Luke trying to find himself and true purpose, so the music and inspiration felt fitting," wrote Perri on his vimeo account.
If you were Dan's professor what grade would you give him?
