Fan made trailers are some of the oldest things out there on YouTube — it’s even become a popular assignment for film students. With the anticipated sequels for Star Wars and Jurassic Park taking Twitter it’s not a surprise that fans have decided to recut the trailers into something of their own. Here, we have the reedited videos for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Jurassic World.

 

#1 Star Wars: Episode VII Trailer – George Lucas’ Special Edition

It’s no secret that when George Lucas decided to alter his original cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy as a “Special Edition,” fans weren’t pleased. Lucas loaded the films with misplaced CGI and busied the background with even more useless computer effects. Some fans decided to give JJ Abrams‘ new film the “Special Edition” treatment, which everyone hopes will never happen.

 

#2 Jurassic Park World Trailer – Look Familiar? Edition

The original Jurassic Park never needed a sequel, and it certain didn’t need three sequels. Now, after more than a decade without a new addition to the franchise, the sequel/reboot Jurassic World is set to be released next year. The only problem with it is that, going by the trailer, it just rehashes what made the first film great. Fans have edited together the trailer to Jurassic World with footage from Jurassic Park, detailing how bereft of ideas the franchise is.

 

Bonus: American Psycho the romantic comedy

This video’s been around for a while, but is still incredibly funny. A film student was given the assignment to recut a trailer to make a movie appear to belong in another genre. He took the ultra-violent and incredibly funny satire from author Bret Easton Ellis and director Mary Haron and turned it into a romantic comedy in the vein of Love Actually.
