Star Wars in 20 minutes or less

George Lucas just recently granted permission for Britain's Reduced Shakespeare Company (which is not in the least bit famous in North America for their 97 minute version of the Bard's 37 plays) to perform the six Star Wars movies in a tidy 20 minutes.

This is my boyhood dream, in the space of 20 minutes I'm going to be Jabba the Hutt, Jar Jar Binks, Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker," said the company's Adam Long, who will write and direct the piece and star in it, with two other performers.

I'm sure the show will be a blast, though one is left to wonder why they didn't lop another minute off and leave Jar Jar out completely.
