I took a screenwriting class this summer, and the tutor spent the first class using ANH as an example on how to properly pace a film. I find that kind of funny now, after having seen this video, as the ANH script, if anything, was a great example on how not to pace your film. (Of course that doesn’t change the fact that the finished film is great reference for any would-be filmmakers & screenwriters.)
I also get really happy when I see one of these OT videos that actually use footage from the unaltered film.
