Star Wars: the Original Trilogy – in 7 Minutes

What happens in the first three Star Wars movies, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi?

Contains a minor spoiler for The Force Awakens, near the end of the video – so stop at 6:00 to avoid it.

Star Wars in seven minutes - no one could have done it better! Great job!

[TheFredde]

I admire the time and effort you put into your videos. Even the simple ones like this one. Great work dude, keep it up!

[MrJL]

you could read labels of cough medicine prescriptions and it would still sound enjoyable and soothing! :D

[JamesDrox]

You should do the theories on Jar Jar being the real bad guy and Luke turning to the Dark side.

Person: Please tell me about the OG Trilogy in less than 15 minutes
Alt Shift X: *I GOT YOU, FAM*

Just throwing in my two-cents that I would love to see more Star Wars videos.

Five years later and this is still a great video. I'd be interested in hearing one about the stuff that happens after Return of the Jedi but before the sequel trilogy (which we are all trying really hard to pretend were never made).

I love your channel, and really only watched your GoT episodes. However, I never watched Star Wars and always wanted to know what it was briefly about. I couldn't think of anyone better to explain them than you and boom I find this gem. Thank you for all your hardwork with these videos.

[nsowers]

Here I thought Star Wars couldn't get better, but then you added your soothing voice and killer skills with electronic devices to the mix. A+! Looking forward to more!

[MichaelCoughlanmusic]

The original trilogy will be the only movies remembered with fondness.

I'd enjoy a Darth Jar Jar video in the same style as his ASOIAF theory videos.

[aozoraeyes]

Hell yes for Theory videos on Starwars!

[macabrevena]

I was just hoping there was a succinct summary somewhere of Stars Wars online! Sooo glad you've done one!! Your videos are the best!

[tylerbrobst]

I would love a video explanation of the theory (more than theory, in my opinion) that Palpatine deliberately took Padme's life force, thereby killing her and using the energy to heal Anakin Skywalker

[narayankhetan]

Awesome job. Alt Shift X! The spoken and video content, and the presentation are all just right.

[kalfabv]

moaar videos pleaseeee the hype is strong with you

[OMundoDeAnna]

YES!!! Do more vídeos please!!! Everything Alt Shift X does is ridiculously good. And by the way, Protector of the Swag is the coolest title ever.

[Lupercal]

"More Star Wars videos"? I mean... do I like pizza rolls?
Hell yeah!

[Eoinster]

I'd kill for some Star Wars videos as in-depth and well produced as your ASOIAF vids. Keep up the good work, dude.
