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."

    But i assume his left eye went blind from episodes 1,2,3 being played simultaneously?

  2. Patterns in the clouds... by xappax · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wonder how long before someone "discovers" a Da Vinci-code-syle pattern in the Star Wars movies fortelling the future of civilization? After all, Star Wars is this generation's Bible - complete with people who only acknowlegde the divinity of the "Old Testament" (original trilogy) ;)

      R2-D2 beeps three times in scene 14, which clearly means take every 3rd word on every 14th page, giving the message 'blast asteroid now' which is obviously a warning about an incoming object from space.

    Honestly, this is one of the most ridiculous (i.e., uninteresting, uninspired, un-newsworthy) stories I've seen on Slashdot in quite a while.

    That's sorta redundant...

  6. Yay! My first response to flamebait! by Descalzo · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I'm sorry, but if you can't appreciate The Empire Strikes Back as a grown-up, then you grew too far up.

    Think about it: It's a funny movie, but it has no gags or outright jokes. It's a romantic movie, with only like 2 quick kisses. It's even an action movie, but there aren't even all of the expolosions like in a Lethal Weapon movie. Every good guy gets the crap kicked out of him, and you still leave it with a hopeful feeling. I have only discussed the story, and haven't even begin to touch the vast differences between the beauty of the worlds created by these people.

    I realize that you have a right to an opinion, but I think you were out of line using words like thoughtless or stupefied, especially if you enjoy spending lots of time on other activities, like TV or video games.

  10. 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.
