Few movies have reached the iconic status of the original Star Wars trilogy. A long-shot science fiction project that was rejected by multiple Hollywood studios, Star Wars (and its creator George Lucas) defied the skeptics and became one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of all time. Now VH1 is working with Lucasfilm to produce the ultimate oral history of the Star Wars years, When Star Wars Ruled the World. Timed to coincide with the DVD release of the original trilogy on September 21, 2004, this hour-long documentary will take viewers back to those rapturous moments when the whole world wanted to wield a light saber.

Transmitted on the ITV network in the UK on May 25th 2002, "The A To Z Of Star Wars: Episode II" was a 25 minute programme consisting of EPK interviews with the cast, documentary footage and scenes from the film edited to form an alphabetic look at the movie (A is for Anakin, B is for bluescreen etc.).

"From Star Wars to Star Wars: The Story of Industrial Light & Magic", a one-hour special hosted by Samuel L. Jackson, aired on Fox TV Tuesday, June 15, 1999. The show features exclusive interviews with George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and many other figures involved with movie special effects, including legendary visual effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen.
