Review of The Making of 'Star Wars'

When this special debuted during the fall on ABC in 1977, millions of people paid money to see Star Wars A New Hope again and again. It was so popular that it came out on video in 1979 and in 1980 a trailer for The Empire Strikes Back was added to the video to spike interest in the sequel, which like A New Hope, had a making of, as well as the sequel Return of the Jedi, which had a special too. The documentary covers all the bases from the origin of the movie from the flash gordon roots to the world premiere at the Chinese theater. Very well done.
