Starts off good... but then they start putting clips out of order and the storyline disintegrates. Still cool, but it should be longer and more coherent.
Actually, there are many silent films that have no coherent narrative at all, that are very abstract and without any kind of story, or even characters. Look at the work of Germaine Dulac, Marcel Duchamp, and early Orson Welles (HEARTS OF AGE) or any number of works by Dziga Vertov. I think Stan Brakhage's work also falls into that category. Go to unseencinema.org and check out some of the clips.
when i was little, our family owned a super-8 projector and we would sometimes purchase these 1 reel super-8 movies from k-mart. one of which was star wars and it was in black and white with subtitles! the entire film was condensed into about 5 minutes too.

If you watch Eps 4-6, paying attention to only Darth Vader's movements with no sound, it's hilarious.
