As you assumedly know, having just clicked a link about the end of Rogue One, the recent Star Wars spin-off prequel dovetails neatly into the original Star Wars—in substance if not in style. In the closing moments of Rogue One we see the Death Star plans get handed off to Princess Leia, who attempts to escape in her ship; as A New Hope opens, that same ship is being boarded by Darth Vader, who seeks to reclaim those plans but is already sick of doing all the cool Force shit he was doing five minutes prior. Now, thanks to this edit from Barre Fong (via), you can see those scenes connected as smoothly as CGI Leia’s not-quite-right face. What a midi-chlorian rush!
