Meta Star Wars: All Six Films in One

We’ve shown our fair share of Star Wars mashups and fan films over the years. I cite for exam­ple:

• Hard­ware Wars: The Moth­er of All Star Wars Fan Films (and the Most Prof­itable Short Film Ever Made)
• A 2 Hour Anno­tat­ed Star Wars Film That Reveals the Cin­e­mat­ic Influ­ences Behind George Lucas’ Clas­sic Film
• Fans Recon­struct the Authen­tic Ver­sion of Star Wars, As It Was Shown in The­aters in 1977.
• Star Wars Recut as Silent Film

The lat­est and maybe not great­est fan rework­ing of Star Wars (now avail­able on YouTube) lets you watch all six Star Wars films online. At once. With one film lay­ered upon the oth­er.

Is there some cul­tur­al val­ue to this lay­er­ing of films? Maybe only inso­far as it gives the keen observ­er the chance to find some meta trends run­ning through the films. One YouTu­ber com­ment­ed, “The real­ly inter­est­ing part is that they’re sim­i­lar­ly paced. If you skip around you’ll almost always find all talk­ing scenes lined up and all action scenes lined up. Just shows how for­mu­la­ic movies are (or at least how for­mu­la­ic George Lucas is).”

Feel free to drop your own obser­va­tions in the com­ments sec­tion below. And, by the way, the per­son who cre­at­ed this mashup has also made avail­able a full gallery of HD still frames on imgur here.
