I remember seeing this in 1977. I have not seen it since. Thank you for posting this! Lots of memories. I shed a tear or two, even.

[@StarWarsJay]

You’re welcome Jason.

[@seanmachin7305]

Same here. Very fun and interesting to see it now after all this time. Truly a groundbreaking movie.

[@toma.4808]

I'm like many. I saw this film in the theaters . It blew me away. Carrie was so beautiful. May she rest in peace

[@StarWarsJay]

Indeed. RIP.

[@swccmty]

This is "The Making of Star Wars" documentary without the intro and al the r2 and 3po hosting scenes.

[@BuscaLoEsencial]

Luke was going to win Leia 31:43

[@dramatqueen]

Rare as fuck. You even have this in end credits "hosted by R2D2 and C3PO" 🤣

[@CarlosRodriguez-vl9gx]

This made my day. Just when you think you’ve seen everything about the making of this classic, it just keeps on giving ❤

[@GQJedi]

Fun lil doc on our favorite 1977 space opera. Thanks for sharing!

[@StarWarsJay]

You're welcome :)

[@Valen-D]

That is the best looking I have ever seen Carrie Fisher during her civilian clothes. Absolutely beautiful in those shots!

[@outpost31737]

Incredible vision. Not many people can translate their ideas on to the big screen.

[@iwaisman]

45 years has passed since.... Nostalgia?

[@edwardbliss8931]

I love seeing the original shots and scenes. Whenever they air Star Wars on TV, there's a lot of effects and creatures digitally added to the 1977 version, which kind of ruins it

[@Karrllson]

11:45 - "My dog INDIANA." As in Indiana Jones 6 years later.

[@aaronvaldes3104]

I love this.

[@Rasputin443556]

I know they showed bits of this when they first showed Star Wars on network television, which was CBS in February 1984, but this is the first time I've seen the whole thing

[@StarWarsJay]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@joanxo666]

I'm surprised there aren't any more comments o.o Such a nice little documentary, hadn't seen it before, thank you so much for sharing. Ps. Them asking whether Leia will end up with Han or Luke, almost made me throw up a little teehee.

[@StarWarsJay]

Thanks Joan. Yeah, that bit was a bit cringy lol.

[@shaneomacdaddy]

RIP Carrie Fisher

[@Crusader071]

I wish i was alive back then

[@flipnap2112]

I down think any kid today could ever understand the magnitude of what Star Wars did to people back then. ESPECIALLY if you were a young child in the ten year old range. it was life changing. There was no way to participate after the film. No Netflix or VCR's. If you wanted to catch a glimpse of Vader you had to buy a copy of "Fangoria" or maybe read a newspaper article. Wasnt until the merchandise came out that you had any contact with the films characters again..

[@EF-fc4du]

My youth...

[@buhaybaryochannel4657]

Very expensive at that time..but worth it...

[@aperson2730]

Mark was beautiful in this movie

[@aink9106]

Star Wars Action 28:27

[@StarWarsJay]

That actually looks dangerous for the cameraman.

[@yan29000]

i was always wondering how anthony daniels who play c-3po can move when he’s supposed to have lost his left arms at 7:57 any ideas ?

[@Chew5219]

Cool to see what made the original so special. Nobody had to step in poo to get a laugh.

[@kalebwhitman8656]

George Lucas has sounded the same his entire life lol

[@georgemasters7477]

Both Luke sky Walker and Han Solo very handsome guys

[@georgemasters7477]

It would be nice if you bring that back at the regal Cinema theater that would be awesome to see wish they bring back also but I'll start going to go at regal Cinema theaters are the Rogers in the 25th century at regal cinemas I wonder why they don't do that it would be great they did

[@georgemasters7477]

I still I still love R2-D2 and C-3PO and always will love them forever and ever

[@georgemasters7477]

George from Vancouver Washington gives that show

[@jetsfan4277]

Is this documentary on dvd?

[@franzdoreza5230]

Wow that Flash Gordon episode is so incredibly goofy looking..The costumes especially ..they were worse than the kids costumes you'd get at the dime store..if you're too young to know what that means.. it's like Kmart or Walgreens, but ours was called Ben Franklin..open in 1926..they went bankrupt in '96 but there are still 209 stores using that old school name..but now it's known as an arts & crafts store..So weird..

[@flipnap2112]

now you know what people will say about our movie today, and our clothes and fashions 50 years from now. Our teslas, high end computers, the internet.. al of it will look goofy and primitive. "man, they all used to sit there staring into these miniature old fashioned computers and make phone calls on them. people actually used wires to transmit electricity. they were so goofy back then"

[@CrispyA113]

Nobody deletes this video

[@vicpetersen4769]

There are absolutely no spoilers :P

[@StarWarsJay]

Lol

[@franzdoreza5230]

I always wondered why she was speaking with an English accent , not that well really, and some parts of the movie and then she would drop the English accent…Like she couldn't remember what she wanted to use.. did they want her to use an English accent instead? Or is that just some thing she chose to do on her own?

[@JonahNelson7]

The English accent I think was when she was presenting being a senator/princess, just like a status thing. When she was being herself she spoke Americanly

[@JonahNelson7]

But George notoriously didn’t really direct actors traditionally so it was really up to her probably

[@henriklarsen1504]

who narrated this?

[@user-invisible2u]

William Conrad❤

[@StarWarsJay]

@@user-invisible2u thanks.

[@BuscaLoEsencial]

Luke was going to win Leia 31:44

[@canuck21]

😂

[@AlexusYoung-t5k]

In one of the many many planned sequels from Walt Disney studios, Princess Leah & Chewbacca will be married and have mix breeding children.

[@irfanimp]

Who thinks that George Lucas is an annoying, quiet, sneaky, secretive, stingy, introverted, disagreeable guy?
