If you don’t have time to watch six “Star Wars” movies before “The Force Awakens” hits theaters on Dec. 18, somebody on YouTube just made your homework much easier.
A three-minute video titled “Star Wars So Far” will give anyone with a fuzzy memory, or maybe those who skipped the three prequels entirely, a pretty solid idea of what has happened in the science fiction saga launched by George Lucas in 1977.
See cute little Anakin Skywalker, then watch him get seduced by the dark side of The Force and become Darth Vader without having to sit through over six hours of prequels. But if you’re a “Star Wars” virgin, do yourself a favor and take time to enjoy the original trilogy before seeing Episode VII.
Watch the video above.
