When comparing the original "Star Wars" trilogy with the prequels made decades later, people have often noted various discontinuities between the two.

But one man was able to perfectly fuse together a scene from "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith."

In a video posted to YouTube on Jan. 7, a fellow doting the name Shahan Reviews made a near perfect fusion of two scenes from the two films.

Basically he showed the scene from Episode IV where Obi Wan explains the rise of Darth Vader to Luke with cut scenes from Episode III. He then added some mellow music in the background.

The result was surprisingly well-made video that looks professional and will tug the heartstrings of even the greatest haters of the prequels.

Over the span of one week, the video has already gotten over 3.4 million hits and nearly 70,000 likes. The force is definitely strong with this one.

It also shows just how good an actor the late Alec Guinness was, as his expressions and portrayal are so good that one would think he actually saw the cut scenes from the later film.
