[Short Film] STAR WARS FILIBUSTER: Patton Oswalt's Rant Animated

Back in April when word came out that George Lucas had sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, everybody with even a passing interest in films had a reaction to the announcement. Comedian/actor Patton Oswalt (Young Adult) made waves when he was shot delivering a "Star Wars filibuster" during taping of an episode of Parks and Recreation where he went on a large rant about his ideas for the upcoming seventh film in the franchise.

In an exclusive video for Nerdist, animator Daniel Spellman created a short animation of Oswalt's rant, which mixed Star Wars mythos with the Marvel Film Universe (another Disney-owned property), robots, a severed Chewbacca head, and even Greek gods from Clash of the Titans. While Oswalt's rant stands on its own, this animation certainly adds an extra layer to the concept and sticks out when compared to other similar animated shorts.
