I still remember a time as a child in 1983 when I saw this on PBS knowing it might be the last source of Star Wars footage ever. Then came Ewok Movies and Saturday Morning Cartoons. Then came the Prequels. Then came the new cartoons. Then came Disney. Maybe I was right in 1983.

i have a question: a lot of behind the scenes clips in this were reused in the 2004 Empire Of Dreams documentary in slightly higher quality but in shorter duration. could one theoretically crossfade those clips against the VHS clips to get a slightly higher quality version?

I "really really really" want to see the whole Japanese laserdisc master of this documentary uploaded on the internet only because the laserdisc for this documentary has a little bit higher video quality than the VHS plus it's the only way to watch the special in high quality.

I liked the artistry of the movies, which is why I liked this documentary.. Wars are always fought over money, not over family rifts unless it involves political power and money. So, I really don't agree with the themes, but they're fun films all the same.

"I did the 1st film I DIDN'T KNOW THAT (awkward stumble) err how the public would take all this and that it would be as successful as it was and DARTH VADER WOULD BECOME THE CHARACTER THAT HE BECAME and so when I got down to the 2nd film, I had to make a decision about whether I was really gonna go through with this thing of HIM BEING HIS FATHER." To me when George says ''I didn't know that'' then awkwardly pauses this is him slipping up on his lie that Darth vader was always meant to be luke's father. Why would Lucas intend for the wise Obi Wan to say a massive lie to Luke? Obi Wan never mentions the name Anakin to Luke in a new hope, he refers to Darth Vader as Darth to his face, like it's a first name. Vader was not once hinted at being Luke's father in a new hope. All Vader sensed was that the force was strong with the pilot he was chasing on the death star. He did not sense 2 skywalkers on the Death star earlier, only Obi Wan. For certain though, in the first film he did not know that Leia would be the twin sister of Luke, with Luke's crush on her and Vader's interactions with Leia and Leia not having the force back this up.

I haven't seen this documentary for about 30 years. I, like many others in this thread watched this nearly as many times as the actual films, I pretty much had all of Mark Hammil's commentary memorised. Watching it again has been a joy especially with the added high definition footage. Absolutely brilliant work, and thank you so much.
