VERY geeky and VERY cool!

This guy, now that the third Star Wars movie has been released on DVD, built a new movie: he took all six movies, shrank the frames, synchronized them, and put them all on the screen at the same time: the first three on the top, the original three on the bottom.

Some very interesting synchronistic events, which shows that Lucas was a lot more formulaic than people suspected.

The site has been Slashdotted, so availability may be marginal. He's done two pages discussing parallel events and it would appear he's working on more.

This would be so cool to watch!

Lucas is pretty well-known for the Joseph Campbell/Solar Hero myth he was writing to... parallels shouldn't be any surprise. The truth is, it's such an enduring paradigm, it would be interesting to do this with movies from *different* writer/directors and see if things crop up.

Of course i may be talking out of the top of my hat. Again. :)
