Star Wars saga to be condensed into 20 minutes

George Lucas told the story over more than 13 hours of film – but his production company has now given its approval for the entire Star Wars saga to be reduced to just 20 minutes.

Star Wars – Shortened! is being written and directed by the co-founder of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, famous for crunching down the Bard’s 37 plays to only 97 minutes.
