Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously

DavidSJ writes "WeirdHat created a video of all Star Wars movies being played simultaneously, side-by-side, and then watched it. Some notable finds: the first appearance of Palpatine in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones is on the same frame. Also, the Jedi Rocks music in Episode VI provides amusing accompaniment to the Anakain/Obi-Wan vs. Dooku fight in Episode III."

  19. Anybody could beat C-3PO... by MS-06FZ · · Score: 5, Funny

    C-3PO was a pussy anyway. Everybody knows that.

    But KITT would probably arrive in Mos Eisley and his wheels would do that Back To The Future 2 hover-conversion thing, and he'd fly into space and blow away some TIE fighters with his hidden laser cannons and stuff. But he'd probably wind up getting swayed by the Dark Side of the Force, and become Darth Vader's personal fighter. But he'd watch Vader's back - there'd be none of that crap with the Millennium Falcon flying out of nowhere to shoot his wingman, or his other dur-head wingman running into Vader, KITT would do some evasion and blow Luke to hell, then turn around and blow away Solo and the Wookie - and then Lando, for good measure. I know Lando hadn't gotten involved in the story yet at that point but KITT would've been all over that. It's called a pre-emptive strike. AI knows how to get it done.
