Many dedicated "Star Wars" fans noticed that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" had more than a few nods to the original film, 1977's "Star Wars: A New Hope." But one fan took it to the next level.
Zachary Antell, a freelance videographer and Syracuse University student, created a slick side-by-side comparison of "A New Hope" with last year's "The Force Awakens."
