Someone with way too much time on his hands has posted _Star Wars Episode IV_ - the entire movie - as a single infographic-style image. According to the “About” page it measures 1024 x 465152 px / 27 x 12307 cm / 10.6 x 4845.3-inch. Check out that hyperspace effect!

Someone should print that on parchment and roll it up like a Torah scroll.

You do that, and in 2000 years someone will think it’s historical fact.

There’s 158 (or 157) individual image (\*.png) files just on that page. Plain old image files, just _a lot_ of them. You can certainly save them over to your hard drive. You could also stitch them together, but it would make for a large file.

Disappointing that, although Han shoots first, the Jabba scene at docking bay 94 is included.

I haven’t had the time to go through it line-by-line, but I see a lot of dialogue…is the whole script in it?

The R2D2 dialog is funny. Although “wop wop”? It appears that the droid is a bit offensive.

Exactly. They have that much love for the movie to spend countless hours making a monster infographic, but for some reason use the Special Edition version? Does not compute. ☹

There are a couple of dropped lines, but otherwise it has the whole script including Artoo’s beeps and Chewie’s growls.

At least Han doesn’t step on Jabba’s tail.

It’s kind of neat, but it’s a HUGE stretch to call it a single image.

Yes, but “Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope - The Special Edition (Han shot first!) in multiple images meant to be displayed in a seamless manner, as in a single integrated image” was too long to fit on the title bar.

Pretty much. I did see an error after they left the trash compactor. Leia tells Han that she’ll be giving the orders, and he’s supposed to have a rejoinder.

Instead, he repeats her line.

Also, when Owen is interviewing C3PO for his new job, he doesn’t tell 3PO that he’s looking for someone who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

This is fucking awesome and very well executed.

I did notice a handful of unfortunate typos and wrong grammar (like, “there” instead of “their”). Hopefully he’ll correct those.

I, for the most part read and scrolled through the whole thing. Took me about as long watching the movie. The Hyperspace and Trench Run transitions were kick ass.

ETA: I wonder if he’ll do ESB and RotJ next. Also, why didn’t he include the famous opening title crawl?

I must ask - why the conceit of the entire movie being a “looking down from on top” perspective?

Aside from it being easier to draw it there a reason it was made this way? Is this a “thing” that those youngsters do that us old farts don’t understand?
