Insane Video Shows All Star Wars Dialogue Alphabetised

Some people have too much time on their hands... and in the case of the person who has re-edited 'Star Wars' so that the dialogue is in alphabetical order, waaaaay too much.

The scale of this feat of editing is genuinely baffling, but nevertheless, it's happened and we can't do anything about it now, other than perhaps show concern for graduate Tom Murphy, who is behind it. Watch it above.

He's even been good enough to list some of the fun facts he encountered while putting the 43-minute video together, and some of them are genuinely remarkable, notably that the word 'lightsaber' is uttered just once, and the word 'Jedi' is said the same number of times as the word 'uncle'.

Here are the others:

There are 43m 5s of spoken English, 81m 39s of other.
The most common word is 'the', of course, said 368 times.
The word with most screen time is 'you', at 52.56 seconds.
There are 1695 different words, and 11684 total words.
The longest words are 'responsibility', 'malfunctioning', 'worshipfulness', and 'identification', all 14 letters.

“I labeled the words manually (!) using some software I wrote specifically for the purpose,” he writes.

“This is the Special Edition to troll Han-shot-first purists. Everyone knows the orig is the most legit.”

Not sure what it does for the film's narrative, but as a labour of love, you have to take your hat off... and then start slowly backing away.
