Reviews
Sorry, this movie sucks
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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.
