LOS ANGELES -- There has been a super-cutting. Have you watched it?
New-ish YouTube channel Science Vs. Cinema on Wednesday posted a carefully edited supercut of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens videos we've seen so far. The result is a satisfyingly long (3 minutes, 44 seconds), linear and lucid look at Episode VII.
It appears that all four released assets were put to use: the first teaser from last November (88 seconds); the Instagram teaser from August (15 seconds); the longer teaser from Star Wars Celebration in April (2 minutes), and finally the full trailer from this week's Monday Night Football (2 minutes and 36 seconds).
Whereas each of those does a lot of time-hop bobbing and weaving, with quick cuts and mere flashes of certain scenes, the supercut puts everything in (approximate) order and stretches out what were mere glimpses into something that's easier to track.
As if you needed another The Force Awakens video to watch over and over again.
Now get back to work.
