I was wondering how this was created—does closed-captioning data provide this level of detail (I didn't think so)? Is there some other metadata system for film dialogue that I'm not aware of? Has voice recognition gotten good enough to automate this kind of thing?
So I looked at the video description. The tagging of words was done manually. (I presume that the final video was then assembled by a script.)
That's obsession.

I prefer it to the original.... or any of the prequels.

Anyone else decide to just skip ahead to "I" and "the"?
I think maybe this would've worked better with something shorter but just as well-known. Like a Charlie Brown Christmas, maybe. Or Bohemian Rhapsody.

I'm past halfway through. It drags a bit in the "i"s - "I," "I'm," "I've," "in," "is," and "it" must have at least a thousand occurrences between them. But it picks back up in the "j"s. "Jabba," "Jedi," "junk" - all fun words. "Jettison!" Yeah, I like the "j"s a lot. Somehow I'm really looking forward to the numbers at the end, though, wondering how many there'll be. I'm sure "3PO" will be in there, since surprisingly "C3PO" was only mentioned four times. I mean, "Biggs" gets six mentions, so there must be a lot for "3PO," or alternately "Threepio" or some variant, although I'm not betting on that since there were no "Artoo"s.

(Luke, of course, gets his name mentioned more than anybody else's in the movie as far as I can tell – 65 times. Nobody else seems to be close. Guess that makes sense.)

Now I realize that the neat little chart in the black at the bottom is color-coded: green for letters, orange for numbers. It's like a reverse-interesting chart; the colored parts are high occurrences of a single word, which tend to be more boring, except in sort of a minimalist-techno sort of way. I'm excited now to find out whether there will be any "z"s.

Ah, I was wrong! The color-coding notes where you are in the graph; green for the past, orange for the future. Not sure how I missed that. Also, all the numbers seem to be spelled out, so I don't think there'll be any numbers.

I finished a while ago.
"The" is a heavy one - 368 occurrences, the most of any word (I think) in the movie. But partway through "the" I realized that 368 moments from a movie I know well is enough to sort of pick out the plot just from those moments, so watching "the" is sort of like watching an encapsulated version of "Star Wars." The "t"s have some interesting ones after that, things like "transport." As you can imagine, the "u-v-w-x" section is filled with a lot of weird and interesting things. The whole thing builds to a nice climax with another long reiteration of the whole film with the "you"s (312 iterations) and gets you excited for the end - a single "z" word! (I won't spoil it by telling you which one, though.)
All in all, a fine experience.
