The Star Wars Uncut project, which is compiled from fan-submitted interpretations of every scene in the first movie, passed one million hits on YouTube in three days.

The new version of George Lucas' 1977 film Episode IV: A New Hope is made up entirely of 15 second clips send in by Force loyalists since the project was conceived in 2009.

Star Wars Uncut showcases the entire movie with 400+ animation, stop-motion, puppetry and live action scenes.

Although the clips have been available on the Star Wars Uncut website for a while, the entire film was uploaded to YouTube for the first time last week.

Streaming pleasure

"Finally, the crowdsourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure," said project curator Casey Pugh.

"The director's cut is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire starwarsuncut.com collection."

The video is also available to watch on Vimeo, where it has garnered 300,000 views.

Lucasfilm has apparently, and somewhat surprisingly, been supportive of the project which appears in its entirety in the video below.

Brace yourself for a glut of complaints invading your newsfeed over the next few weeks: Facebook is rolling out Timeline to all users.

While Facebook offered the option to update your profile to the timeline layout before Christmas, it will be forcing upgrades to all accounts in the coming weeks.

Like the early adopters, new Timlineers (that name may need work) will have seven days to get used to the timeline and remove anything embarrassing before friends can see the new layout.

The thin blue line

Announced at last year's f8 conference, Timeline is Facebook's attempt at collating literally everything you ever do, from watching TV to climbing Mount Everest.

All your Facebook activity is listed chronologically, taking in status updates, songs you've listened to, photos, events you've attended, notes you've written and what friends you've made along the way.

But what's really excellent about Timeline is that it makes it look like you did nothing of note between being born and joining Facebook. Sure, Zuck. Sure.
