Trivia

The special includes footage of the "Han meets Jabba" scene from "Star Wars" as it was originally shot, with Declan Mulholland as Jabba the Hutt. When the scene was restored for the "Special Edition" release of the film, Mulholland had been replaced with a CGI-created Jabba. See more »

Once Upon A Star Wars
6 March 2003 | by See all my reviews

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.
