Watching all 6 Star Wars movies at the same time

Quite insane, but very interesting (for me anyway!) some guy has watched all six Star Wars movies simultaneously and reports in his findings. What is interesting is how Lucas's use of the (rigid?) structure of the films introduces all sorts of coincidences. eg.

  • The first appearance of Palpatine in TPM and AOTC is ON THE SAME FRAME. And at the same time in ROTJ, Vader is telling Moff Jerjerrod that the Emperor is coming.
  • Luke destroys the Death Star and Vader kills Palpatine at just about the same time
  • etc...
