Disney Publishing Worldwide executive VP Andrew Sugerman unveiled the plan at Variety's Purpose: The Family Entertainment and Faith-Based Summit at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills on Thursday and explained that it will allow people to reimagine three iconic scenes from the Star Wars franchise.
He said: "The output of this is you're actually going to create a minute-long film."
