Finally watched this again and it is hugely entertaining for sure.

This is an exhaustive mix of sources, some which I do have and are better quality, but the mix of styles can sometimes throw your concentration and rhythmn.

That said, its hard to beat this as a fan made doco so full 10 on the enjoyment scale.
I would love to see an update one day as better visuals come to light.

Excellent work!

Watched this edit tonight (which is available freely on Vimeo). Loved it! Don’t really need to go into why, because duh, it’s the shit.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this. I watched the 1978 “Making of Star Wars” many times as a kid and read up on lots of Star Wars books and this covered many things I’d never even heard of. I still found myself remembering little trivia tidbits about what went into a scene but I don’t think any commentary/documentary could be exhaustive by any means.

The overlays and comparisons of various scenes (Obi-wan at power station with and without painting, for example) were nicely done. One thing my wife and I especially liked was that the commentary was from members of the cast and crew and not just a George Lucas monologue. That in itself was a pleasure.
