Ananova:

A group of friends have recreated two Star Wars films in a Lincolnshire garage.

They used household objects as scenery, toys as props and PC wizardry to recreate the special effects, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Backyard Productions have so far spoofed two Star Wars movies, calling them The Empire Strikes Backyard and Star Wars - The Emperor's New Clones.

Co-founder Darren Scales said: "We have got bubble wrap on the ceiling, we've got bottle tops and yoghurt pots on the walls along with tubes from the centre of rolls of carpets.

"The blasters are water pistols, we just stuck a few bits of lids on, add a bit of spray paint and then you have a blaster.

"You take a hard hat, put an Imperial sticker on it and suddenly it's an Imperial work helmet for someone building the Death Star - it's not rocket science.

"It's the same with the light sabres. Up close they look awful but you put a stick in it, you hold it and on screen you can't tell the difference."

The amateur company, which has an eight-strong team, shot their first short sketches in 1993 but have gone on to spoof some major Hollywood films, including Jurassic Park (Geriatric Park).

Mr Scales added: "There is no way we could have done this 10 years ago. We were making film 10 years ago but we have so much more freedom because of the technology, we can now do so much more.

"It's strange to think that 30 years on from the original Star Wars we are now doing the same thing out in converted garages."
