From 'Star Wars' to 'Jedi' : The Making of a Saga Audience Reviews

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Buck Aroo This is an excellent documentary, which contains highlights of the other behind-the-scenes films on the making of the saga, and some newer (for 1983 anyway) footage from ROTJ. George Lucas gives us his insight into what he was trying to achieve, and his frustration at the limitations of the special effects at that time. He also, interestingly, hints that he would like to return one day and make further instalments to the saga...Mmmmmm. Was that wise George?Anyway, it's a must see for any SW fan, and an essential purchase if you can find a copy. I've got mine.
