Pulp Empire v2 720p (August 2012)

A Tarantino inspired Star Wars mashup and remix by njvc.

Brief Synopsis:
A Tarantino inspired Star Wars mashup and remix.

Intention:
To take The Empire Strikes Back and remix it, using songs from and inspired by the films of Quentin Tarantino. 100% of the score has been replaced, as well as overdubbing Yoda with Pai Mei, from Kill Bill Volume 2.

There are many visual nods to Tarantino as well, but in no way is this intended to be a new Tarantino film! It's intended as a fun homage to one of my favourite filmmakers, and a remix of one of the best films ever made. Steering away from the Tarantino vibe, I have also included a hero moment for most of the main characters, and thrown in a few songs that Tarantino would never use in a million years... Hope you enjoy it!

Additional Notes:
Version 2
- released August 2014.
- Significantly reduced John Williams' music spill present in V1, and as a result, was able to better integrate new music with existing dialogue.
- Minor visual tweaks/fixes.
