    Storyline

    • Trivia
      David Prowse, who portrayed Darth Vader physically in most scenes of the original Star Wars trilogy, was not interviewed for this documentary, and is only briefly featured through archive footage. This was due to his strained relationship with Lucasfilm and George Lucas in particular (due to an incident for which the actor was unfairly blamed as a result of a miscommunication), which also led to Prowse subsequently being banned from attending official Star Wars fan conventions.
    • Goofs
      During a segment on merchandising for the original Star Wars, pictures of Princess Leia dolls wearing 'space fashions' are shown. However, this clothing line never made it into production.
    • Quotes

      Harrison Ford: I think George likes people, I think George is a warm-hearted person, but... he's a little impatient with the process of acting, of finding something. He thinks that something's there. "It's right there, I wrote it down. Do that". You know, sometimes you can't just "do that" and make it work.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits there is a final outake of General Dodonna (Alex McCrindle) saying "and may the force go with you".
    • Alternate versions
      The Disney+ version updated shots of the Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader duel to reflect the improvements made to the 4K version released in 2019.

    A joy for a fan like me
    The production was maybe a bit amateurish, but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed this. I don't usually watch "making of" docs because it pops the fantasy bubble of the movie. But I'm glad I made an exception here.
