Watch: Star Wars Episodes I to VI in 5 minutes

You've got your tickets for The Force Awakens and you're all dressed up as your favourite Star Wars character, when you realise, its been years since you've seen Episodes I to VI and you can't really remember who turned to the dark side, who still has two hands and why everyone's yelling "It's a trap!" anyway.

The bad news is that it would take a full (long) day to watch all six movies before seeing The Force Awakens, but the good news is, we've cut Episodes I to VI down to just 5 minutes. Catch up on the story so far with our edit of every Star Wars movie.

Directed by JJ Abrams and starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is released in UK cinemas on December 17, 2015 before opening in US theatres a day later.
