Star Wars 4-6 The Condensed Cut

Author
Time

Hi! I’m new here and just wanted to share my edit of 4, 5 and 6.

I always see people who have condensed the prequels, sequels, and tv shows into shortened versions so I decided to do it with the originals. Yes I know this is gonna make some people mad but I wanted a quicker way to watch it.
Runtime is a little under 4 hours.

A new hope cut time is an hour
Empire has 40 mins cut
Return has about an hour
Star Wars styled Transitions are used throughout

Episode 4 cut list:
The intro fight scene, it starts with Darth Vader already on the ship
R2 and C-3PO leaving each other
Most scenes with Owen and his wife
C-3PO asking if he can shut down
Mind trick on the storm trooper
Vader choking the rebel
Leia being stunned
Conversation before “we’ll call me luke” when he discovers the message
Luke convincing Han to help leia in the Death Star. It’s implied that’s what he was hired to do initially. There’s less C-3PO in this.
Garbage compactor is cut as well
End fight is rearranged a little just to have better pacing
Conversation between Luke and the other guy during briefing is cut. Briefing is also faster paced

Episode 5 cut list
Small scenes dealing with Luke walking in the snow
Han and leia love issues at Hoth.
The falcon hiding in the crater/giant space worm
Chewie notices 3PO missing and finding him happens at the same time

Episode 6 cut:
Walking scenes with the droids
Cuts of Jabba palace at night
Cut out a few seconds of Luke talking to jabba and rearranged some dialogue to make it go faster
There’s minimal Ewoks
No storm trooper vs Ewok battle
No Luke telling leia he’s going to fight vader/tell her he’s his brother
Han doesn’t get jealous
Lando scenes and some of the space fight scenes aren’t shown prior to the shield generator being blown up
Palpatine dialogue is changed to reflect that. DM me or email me at chasedixon22@gmail.com for a link!
