I have no idea what prompted YouTube user “suckerpinch” to take all the English dialogue in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, sort it alphabetically and edit it into one 43-minute video, but here it is and it is equal parts maddening and mildly intriguing. As the description of the video notes:
The word “lightsaber” only appears once in this film.
There are 43m5s of spoken English, 81m39s 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.
Give it a watch below and let me know what word you make it to before you give up. I stopped 56 seconds in to post it on the word “agree”.
