ARST ARSW: Star Wars Sorted Alphabetically Video

Posted by Anthony Mango
ARST ARSW Star Wars spoken lines alphabetical order
Star Wars and linguistics fans alike are going to have a field day when it comes to Suckerpinch's latest video on YouTube. Tom Murphy VII—the man behind the channel—has taken every word in the original Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope film and alphabetized it. The video sorts out every line of dialogue word by word and keeps a handy little counter on the screen for those that would like to keep track.

Fun facts that Tom passed our way, for people that are interested:

  • The word "lightsaber" is only spoken ONCE in the film. (by Obi-Wan Kenobi - "Your father's lightsaber.")
  • There are 43m5s of spoken English, 81m39s of other.
  • The most common word is "the". It is said 368 times.
  • The word with most screen time is "you", at 52.56 seconds.
  • There are 1695 different words, and 11684 total words.
  • The longest words are "responsibility," "malfunctioning", "worshipfulness", and "identification", all 14 letters.

Talk about dedication to a cause! Tom puts the fans that can quote the movie to shame.
