‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Meets ‘Star Wars’ In Fantastic ‘Road Wars’ Trailer Mash-Up

For many movie fans this summer, nothing has been able to topple that greatness that isMad Max: Fury Road. The sequel, which doesn’t require a viewing of the early installments of the franchise, is a prime example of how to do a summer blockbuster right, with a simple story, the perfect blend of practical and visual effects, and sublime action.

And now the excitement ofMad Max: Fury Roadis given a whole new level of awesome in a trailer mash-up calledRoad Wars: The Imperator Strikes Back. Yes, this trailer mash-up combinesMad MaxandStar Warsinto one epic movie full of shiny chrome and glowing lightsabers. Check out this impressiveMad Max Star Warstrailer mash up below!

Thanks toTastefully Offensivefor bringing this video to our attention:

Road Wars: The Imperator Strikes Backis a creation by filmmakerKrishna Shenoifrom Bangalore, India, who has done some pretty impressive digital trickery to put elements ofStar Warsinto theMad Max: Fury Roadtrailer.

It’s seamless, fun, and not over-the-top at all. There’s just the right blend ofStar WarsandMad Max, by giving Imperator Furiosa a lightsaber, having X-Wings, TIE Fighters and the Millennium Falcon get caught up on the chase, and using Tatooine scenes in the best way possible. The quick cut montage is full of random shots fromReturn of the Jedithat fit perfectly with the rest of the trailer. There’s even a shot from therecently released behind the scenes sizzle reelforStar Wars: The Force Awakens.

Perhaps the only downside is that there’s just not enoughDoof Warrioron display. The characterhas a full backstory, and even inspiredConan O’Brien to go a little crazyfor his series of shows at Comic-Con in San Diego last week. There’s evensheet music complete with flamethrowing cues. Having this guy meet Boba Fett (who would certainly be hired to track down Immoten Joe’s wives) would just be incredible!

Sadly, the action ofMad Max: Fury Roaddoesn’t take place on Tatooine (or Jakku). And we’ll never see Imperator Furiosa wield a lightsaber. Though it does seem a little convenient that she’s also lost her arm previously, just like Luke Skywalker. Maybe Darth Vader is responsible for taking that limb after all. It’s probably no coincidence that she has a green lightsaber, just like Skywalker inReturn of the Jedi.

Anyway, this will have to hold us over untilMad Max: The Wastelandrolls into theaters.
