Living in the Information Age has its problems. Specifically, there's too much information. Even the most fanatical sci-fi fan can be overwhelmed by fantasy worlds overrun by painstaking details, fascinating trivia, and unauthorized comic book sequels. Even a geek like me has trouble staying abreast with the goings-on in Middle-Earth, Narnia, Lilliput, Arrakis, and the Degoba System.

Lucky for us, Will Carlough has started making a video series titled Paraphrase Theater. This first episode provides a concise summary of a favorite scene in Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope. Akin to Cliff Notes, this video is not meant to be a substitute for the film, but a study aid. Don't worry, it's not just another dumb Star Wars parody. This video is made by a guy who really loves the source material.
