Genndy Tartakovsky set to make some awesome

And not run of the mill awesome, but so awesome your eyeballs will literally catch fire. I don't know how, but it's going to happen. Trust me. I'm an expert when it comes to eyeballs catching on fire.
I'm not endorsing it, but it does show what kind of movie Star Wars could have been if the lightsabers were made of fleas.
