The Octogeek isn’t usually let out of his tank on a Friday but when he saw this he became pretty excited. I had to let him out, he used the force. I am weak minded. We came across this remake of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer which has been lovingly recreated for under $2 so it’s been told. That’s what their taxes say anyway. First of all for the unfamiliar. What is Sweded?

Urban Dictionary: Sweded

The summarized recreation of popular pop-culture films using limited budgets and a camcorder. The process is called sweding. Upon completion the film has been Sweded.

Origins: In the Michel Gondry film BE KIND REWIND, the character Jerry accidentally erases the videotapes at Mos Def’s rental store, and the pair remake all the movies themselves. These versions become popular with customers, who are told they take longer to arrive and cost more because they come from Sweden. Hence, the films are referred to as ‘Sweded’.

That clears that up. And now our feature presentation.

Paul Crazy-Legs Caldwell. I take care of most of the week's geek based content and make sure that the Octogeek is only let out on a Wednesday. I also make comics for my website www.theskeletonblog.com when the notion takes me.
