Dave Bowman becomes Luke Skywalker in 2001: A Space Odyssey as directed by George Lucas.
2001: A Space Odyssey as directed by George Lucas is nothing like Stanley Kubrick’s original masterpiece. Kubrick made movie history with his 1968 science-fiction epic 2001, a film that expanded the definition of what cinematic sci-fi could be both in terms of special effects and storytelling. And one person who happened to be watching was USC film student Lucas, who would take inspiration from Kubrick’s film and go on to craft his own history-making science-fiction movie in 1977’s Star Wars.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now the very different sci-fi visions of Kubrick and Lucas have come together in a clever and hilarious new video posted by YouTube channel poakwood. In 2001: A Space Odyssey Directed By George Lucas?, Kubrick’s famously glacial and brooding movie about a mission to Jupiter is transformed into a whiz-bang action movie. In this version of 2001, Dave Bowman has commandeered one of the Discovery One’s shuttles for an all-out battle against psychotic computer HAL 9000, climaxing in a moment that would make Luke Skywalker proud.
But THX 1138 would not be Lucas’ final foray into science-fiction. In 1977, the director changed the whole movie game with Star Wars, a film that embraced the effects-heavy approach of 2001 while dispensing with that film’s stately pacing and mind-expanding themes. The result was not just a singular blockbuster but a pop cultural earthquake the reverberations of which are still being felt almost 50 years later.
It can of course be argued that the audience-pleasing, Flash Gordon-inspired Star Wars represented a perversion of the sci-fi revolution Kubrick began with his 1968 masterpiece. And indeed it has been argued that Star Wars brought a symbolic end to the Hollywood Golden Age that began in the late '60s and progressed into the '70s, thanks in large part to filmmakers like Kubrick.
