See where Star Wars credits go when they scroll off screen

See where \<i\>Star Wars\<\/i\> credits go when they scroll off screen

Ever wonder what happens to those humongous yellow letters that crawl across the screen at the start of A New Hope after they vanish off into the cosmos? Us, too! Well, thanks to a few enterprising videographers, the mystery of where they end up has at last been solved—and the answer ain't pretty.

All we can say is, George Lucas should have been more careful!

...And then they were anally probed, prompting this thought, "Hmmm.... You know, I rather like Star Wars after all!"

By GAVAL at 9:46 AM ON 02/01/10

I like!

I'm just really curious why it took the deflector dish to put down Star Wars....I would have guessed a hand phaser...(type I even) would have mercifully done the trick!

By PALADIN at 10:14 AM ON 02/01/10

Great idea, beautifully executed.....

Ahh....FUN !

Ah, dorks with time on their hands.

By Darth Touma at 11:43 AM ON 02/01/10

yes.. dorks with enough time and little enough self-awareness thaty they can get on comment boards and call other people dorks..

By Eldon at 11:49 AM ON 02/01/10

That's awesome! Chalk one up for the Trekkies! This is great gloating material to show all my Star Wars loving friends!

Too bad the acting wasn't as good as the effects..

By Mr Nitpiky at 1:42 PM ON 02/01/10

It's a deflector dish NOT a weapon.

By GAVAL at 2:13 PM ON 02/01/10

Mr. Nitpicky, you should know, with very little Trek background, that a deflector dish can be modified into just about anything!

Weapons included!

By Tolarin at 2:57 PM ON 02/01/10

Didn't all you have to do was bounce a tachyon particle beam off the main deflector dish?

By Omen at 4:39 PM ON 02/01/10

Hey!
When you got Scotty you can make that dish do anything.
Helpful info from Spock included.

Poor kid wasn't even wearing red.

Yea but only in extreme emergencies!
Oh and it's Mr. Nitpiky, not Nitpicky. :P

Hmm, Michael Giacchino is going to be pissed, seeing as how they misspelled his name in the credits.

By Boog E. Nosed-Man at 9:19 PM ON 02/01/10

Ohhh-Kay....!
I gotta admit that was kinda ambitious and creative; wish I had that talent.
You know, I've always wondered where things go, too, when they go "one-step-beyond"; I just don't have quite as much creativity as these boys--but I will however try to explain another of life's mysteries here to the best of my ability, as to "where-things-go".....

"Hickory-Dickory-Dock;
Three mice ran up her sock.
One stopped at the garter,
The others were smarter;
Hickory-Dickory-Dock!"

(...uh, sorry, it's just a theory...!).

By thunderstud at 10:42 PM ON 02/01/10

Meh....

By ETo at 10:52 PM ON 02/01/10

Hmm.... Stupid concept, bad actors, and awful special effects? Sounds like a SyFy Saturday night movie!

By antodav at 4:33 PM ON 02/20/10

LMAO! WIN! EPIC WIN!

Although, to quote Kirk, one photon torpedo ought to have done it; let's not waste ammunition.
