Watch All of Star Wars Episode IV in This One-Minute Animation

Recommended Videos

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is one of my favorite movies, because it’s one of the best ones. At 125 minutes long I don’t always have time to sit down an watch it all. Thankfully, it’s the latest installment of 1A4STUDIO’s Speedrun webseries. This animation compresses the entire film down to a simple minute-long animation.

They miss a few things, but for the most part the major story points are all in there.

Not that I want to champion the shortening of our collective attention span, but I’d love to see more of favorite movies rendered this way. Any chance I can get a Princess Bride version?
