The Making of Star Wars (1977)


20th Century Fox Television
Directed by Robert Guenette
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

This hour-long documentary features some interesting behind-the-scenes footage of everybody's favorite sci-fi flick, well at least my favorite. C3PO and R2D2 play hosts in a wraparound segment filmed especially for this release on a new Star Wars set. My favorite scenes include an interview with Carrie Fisher in an arcade playing an old Star Wars vector game, and the footage in a disco with dancers wearing iron-on Star Wars t-shirts. In the end, though, it feels more like a long advertisement than a true "making of", but still a lot of fun for fans.
