Park Wars (Star wars spoof)
 

I don't know if this has been posted before (it is quite old) but I can't find it.

It's the story of Star Wars Ep 1 as told by the South Park characters (with no Jar Jar binks!)

I have a bit of Trivia for you as well: Does anyone know why 20th Century fox use two versions of their theme? There is a short version and a long version (used here and on the Star Wars movies). If I can, I will rep the person who gets it right..

Edit: This is hosted on my web area at work, and we currently seem to be having trouble with our connection. The Quicktime may take a while to download (it is 40 Meg).

The 20th Century Fox Fanfare was composed and originally recorded by Alfred Newman in 1933, when Twentieth Century Films first merged with Fox Movietone. In 1939, Newman became head of the studio's music department, and in 1954 he prepared an extended version of the fanfare for use on Fox's CinemaScope stereophonic presentations. The fanfare was eliminated from the studio's 70mm TODD-AO productions in the 1960's, and by the 1970's both long and short versions were used arbitrarily and inconsistently.
Star Wars reintroduced Newman's original version to the cinema-going masses, and for the sequel Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra made a new recording of Newman's extended fanfare.
