It's strange that they barely mention the significance of the music how it added to the film. John William's score is largely responsible for providing the emotion that made Star Wars' a success.
28:03, I love how this is a recurring theme of all Star Wars behind the scenes, "a line here, a word there, and the editing had transformed our rather plodding studio work into a masterpiece". The art of movies resides mostly in the editing, it is where the magic happens, where all bits come together fo form a coherent compelling piece. It amazes me how georges could indeed believe in himself so much during the shootings knowing that the editing would make it great, it takes some great visualisation skills.
George loves editing. It's his favourite part of the creative process as he gathers a lot of footage then creates in the editing room to find the stories he wants to tell. It's not a very common practice but it works.
Something that is lost today in our world of computerized special effects is that in 1977 no one had ever seen anything like the effects in Star Wars. For an 11 year old boy that Star Destroyer in the opening scene blew me away as it did for everyone else back then. And the light sabers? WOW.
So amazing all of that being done in 1976 Tunisia, Death Valley etc......So pleased the artists, crew and the maker gave us so much fun! I was 13 in 1977 and have been a fan ever since......still own a Tusken Raider. This special makes me even more excited for The Force Awakens.
Watched it for the 1st time in 1997. Ep 4 was on TV. Didn't finish watching because it was at night & my mum told me to go to sleep. But I could never forget what I saw for days. 8 years later in 2006, I had a friend at school who loves Star Wars & that memory from 1997 came back to me. Made me a big fan ever since.
every documentary i see about the original star wars cracks me up when you learn that pretty much everyone working on the film had no faith that it would be any good at all.
@@BenderMohawk Wrong. Sir Alec never despised the film. One thing, George Lucas gave him 2.5% earnings from the film besides his acting fee/salary. He even had a great time filming. Mark Hamill told in an interview that Sir Alec did a prank on the crew. He had fun with Mark between takes & he respected George Lucas so much. Sir Alec indeed admitted that the script he got from Lucas was "ropey" but very interesting nontheless. He couldn't stop flipping the pages until the end of the script. One thing that Sir Alec despised was the typecasting. He didn't want to be remembered only for playing 1 specific character, no matter how iconic the character turned out to be.
A Legendary Story...Then the making of a "Myth" Star Wars. I'm glad I lived to witness the fun...& guess what? 61 today & I'm still living through it. Thank You George, Steven, Francise...etc. for all the fun.
1977 was rubbish.... I was 8yrs old at the time, then Star Wars happened, I accidentally saw a clip on Film 77 with Barry Norman, I became Geek+ within a millisecond... changed me, changed the world and for the better.
I love the comments about how good the real sets and big models of the falcon etc were. Look at the prequels and its two actors surrounded by green screen... Ridley Scott said about Prometheus that it was actually cheaper to build rather than use computers...
Chief Rabbi Avner Echoberg-Shekelstein Actually I believe than young George Lucas would have been a better director for Empire and ROTJ. However after SW ep IV the people that would challenhe his opinions abandoned him, and he got surrounded by those who would say yes to everything that ocurred to him, including his directors.
No offense to Mark or Harrison, but I loved those lines of dialogue. But honestly, the more I hear Mark talk about how they did not like the lines, the more it sounds like he is joking as if to say some of their "complaints" were done for fun. Video is over-shedding tears now.
They had their issues but Harrison would later say to Time Magazine months after it came out, "I told George you can type this stuff but can't say it but I was wrong. It worked." They had their issues at the time but once they saw the full picture of what George was doing with it they came around to it. The dialogue is also consistent across all six films. Check out Everytime Star Wars Quotes Star Wars on here. George uses dialogue more as an anchor for conveying tone and to show you where you're at. It's like a silent film. He's a pure filmmaker versus a literary filmmaker.
Small scale ships and props look 10x better than CGI ships. They appear more realistic because they ARE real. They occupy real space, reflect real light and their scale is imperceptible once they're in film. Yet they still have been abandoned for lesser quality CGI mostly due to time considerations. Thank god for Abrams who understands the importance of real world effects. Hopefully he'll use more small scale props and matte paintings (another lost but superior art to present day methods for scene depiction). This documentary really illustrates the place of traditional special effects in filmmaking and how they should not only be preserved but re-birthed for the present and future of better cinema.
Ben BamBoo But all the ships in the Prequels were actually a small scale ships! Along with almost all the backgrounds and locations in the Prequels were also mini sets! It was never a lost art because it was always used by Lucas's company! Abrams is not making or bringing back anything! He's working with the same guys that made the Prequels and hundreds other films and using the same technology!
Don't get all the hate for the Prequels, I loved all three of them, and I grew up around the time of the originals!! Saw Empire and Jedi in the theatre!!
The Prequels use more practical effects than the entire Original Trilogy combined. The Phantom Menace also had less visual effects than The Force Awakens. J.J. Abrams lied to you, my friend.
Great video. Some stuff - like footage of Prowes' Vader bust I have never seen before. When was this done? Pre Special Editions? 1996?. BTW - can you please re-upload this video with the full end credits? Thanks.
Never seen this. Is this a Premiere Magazine documentary? There was one for the Making of The LAst Crusade hosted by that NCIS guy...ex-football player.
i just recently watched from episode 1 to 5, theres a few story holes, like who trained who, for instance obiwan was trained by Qui-Gon Jinn yet in episode 4 and 5 you hear say twice a jedi named yoda taught him, im not sure if yoda did train qui-gon, in prequels to episode 1, but it seems a bit loose, and the reasoning behind the force is only exaplined in detail in episode 1,2,3...but in 456, its just called the force/. none the less its fucking brillliant all episodes, the story is amazing, can not wait to see the next 3.
QuarterlifeCry6 Well, Obi-wan was still a padawan when Qui-gon died so maybe Yoda completed what left of his training! Or maybe he meant when he was still too young before being assigned to a master to teach him, like the age of the padawans you see Yoda instructing when Obi-wan visit him to ask about the "invisible planet" in Ep.2! Or maybe he just didn't see it necessary to tell Luke about a dead master and focused on the alive one! Or maybe Obi-wan just forgot to mention it just like he forgot to mention to Luke that... you know.. VADER IS HIS FATHER! Lol! About the Force, it is still a mystery and no one knows what it is! The Medo-chlorian only explained why certain people are gifted with the Force but never explained the Force itself!
+bigmouthShortlegs The prequels did quite some things wrong which made these holes. In Rotj, Leia seemed to remember her real mother. But she died at childbirth in Rots.. Then there is Obi-Wan in ep4, not remembering R2 while he was with him all the time in the prequels.
Watch people in the future, who have no idea of our civilization, doing archaeological digs, and discovering old star wars films and/or books, and then pins saying "may the force be with you" and then concluding that "Force Worship" was the religion of Americans, and that Star Wars was our myth. Of course, they'd soon discover the competing religion of "Tolkienism" lol!
Sir Christopher Frayling says Ridley Scott started planning ALIEN immediately after watching STAR WARS. Not true. Scott was planning to do the story of Tristan and Isolde as a straight medieval story, but redesigned it as science fantasy after seeing it. The offer of ALIEN came later, after TRISTAN petered out.
It's a little known fact that Anthony Daniels can perform Shakespeare in over six million forms of communication. That's the classical English acting school for you. (Sir Alec Guinness, of course, was fluent in over 12 million forms, but he didn't like to boast :)
jeez I am a little bit worried about Anthony Daniels in the force awakens if this is what his C3P0 impression is. He did not sound anything like he does in the mivue
Spielberg sits down to watch a film shot in England & Tunisia, using a majority British cast and crew, sets, costumes and art design produced in England by British artists, costume and set designers...and declares 'one of the greatest American movies of all time. Jingoistic Schmuck. We all know what American sci fi looked like at the time. Shiny corny , captain kirk schlock. All the great sci fi movies of the period were made in the UK. 2001, Star Wars, Alien. They were American/British co productions.
Prroduced, written, financed, directed & distributed by Americans. I would call it a co-operative American / U.K. movie. Nobody wants to take away anything from the Brits that worked on it, filmed it, & acted in it. But since George Lucas is an American film maker & he conceived the idea & created the script, directed & produced, not to mention special effects house ILM, I am comfortable calling Star Wars "an American film". Sure.
Dont forget that CGI FX is a tools for director's imagination whithout limitation and low budget to build incredible things. For me only the result count. In another words, there is no bad CGI movie,There is only bad movies. For sure i love the model's build on the the V episode R2D2 or dead star etc but if the technologie can made some more imerssive the story tale's i agree with 2 and's. Sorry for my approximative English
Franck S. The human eye can detect full CGI sets a mile off. Whilst that's fine in some stylized features, like 300 for example, in the star wars prequels it was jarring and took you out of the immersion. It was also dreadful for the actors to work with, CGI is best used as an enhancement tool, not a replacement tool.
Oodlepoodle Puke CGI growing extremely speedly months after months.I worked as a CGI artist between 10 years on a good french company (my bro work at ILM). And no there is no more borders between realities and CGI from few years a go for good production like news ILM ones for examples.But not for the too old STW FX. But there's a lot of badlest FX companies making CGI without success for bad productions or producers.This is only about skills not technologie.
Would be interesting if there are mechanized animatronics for the beasts in The Force Awakens. I wonder if it were possible, George would have liked to introduce the Krayt dragons. The Harry Potters look very realistic, hope TFA can achieve.
Sony down there isn't letting people reply,must've known what the reaction would be. He or she clearly has a pre existing resentment of the UK which has nothing to do with that movie. I have no ties to England besides maybe the language but that seemed unreasonably harsh
Well, this is new, I've never seen this before. Anthony assures The Force Awakens will leave behind The Empire Strikes Back, that's a rather ambitious and bold statement to make. It should, first of all, try to best the 1977 movie. I'm afraid I have my doubts about that.
So that's where George Lucas got the whole idea of the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force and the words from Yoda where he teaches Luke about how anger, aggression and fear from. The one at 11:42 to 11:43, the Bible and Jesus, the whole Jedi religion thing based on the idea from the Bible.
It's strange that they barely mention the significance of the music how it added to the film. John William's score is largely responsible for providing the emotion that made Star Wars' a success.

Anthony Daniels is so wonderful. Great special that I had not seen before today. Thank you so much Robert.
28:03, I love how this is a recurring theme of all Star Wars behind the scenes, "a line here, a word there, and the editing had transformed our rather plodding studio work into a masterpiece". The art of movies resides mostly in the editing, it is where the magic happens, where all bits come together fo form a coherent compelling piece.

So cool to see David Prowse's face for the mold of the Vader Helmit at 13:35. I have never seen that footage before today.......wow.
"A medieval story in space." I loved that description.
Something that is lost today in our world of computerized special effects is that in 1977 no one had ever seen anything like the effects in Star Wars. For an 11 year old boy that Star Destroyer in the opening scene blew me away as it did for everyone else back then. And the light sabers? WOW.

That's amazing , I've always been a starwars fan. Compulsively enjoying starwars since 1998
Watched it for the 1st time in 1997. Ep 4 was on TV. Didn't finish watching because it was at night & my mum told me to go to sleep.

This is a very valuable documentary, again, I must thank you, Robert H. for sharing.
every documentary i see about the original star wars cracks me up when you learn that pretty much everyone working on the film had no faith that it would be any good at all.
My thoughts exactly. Alec Guinness despised the movies even though they made him quite wealthy.
Except for Lucas.
@@Сайтамен Mark Hamill also tried to convince the crew that the film will be good.
@@ici123-r2e But he didn't really believe it would be hit. He said he gave script to his friends to laugh.
@@BenderMohawk Wrong. Sir Alec never despised the film. One thing, George Lucas gave him 2.5% earnings from the film besides his acting fee/salary. He even had a great time filming. Mark Hamill told in an interview that Sir Alec did a prank on the crew. He had fun with Mark between takes & he respected George Lucas so much. Sir Alec indeed admitted that the script he got from Lucas was "ropey" but very interesting nontheless. He couldn't stop flipping the pages until the end of the script.
One thing that Sir Alec despised was the typecasting. He didn't want to be remembered only for playing 1 specific character, no matter how iconic the character turned out to be.
21:45 lol the way Harrison walks over "the mic was in picture.." As if he's about to take out his blaster and shoot them lol
A Legendary Story...Then the making of a "Myth"
Star Wars. I'm glad I lived to witness the fun...& guess what? 61 today & I'm still living through it. Thank You George, Steven, Francise...etc. for all the fun.
I got a little choked up watching this.
This documentary has some rare archival material. It's great for SW fans.
Brilliant. There's a fair bit of footage here that I've never before seen plus many interviews exclusive to this doc.
1977 was rubbish.... I was 8yrs old at the time, then Star Wars happened, I accidentally saw a clip on Film 77 with Barry Norman, I became Geek+ within a millisecond... changed me, changed the world and for the better.
I hope this documentary will be included in the next star wars blu-ray set
Anthony Daniels, never complained and he put his heart and soul in his role.
I love that man.
ALL RESPECT TO THE STAR WARS MOVIES !!!
*the originals, and some to the prequels :D
@@cubesquared2291 *the originals & the prequels. not so much for the sequels because they sucked.
So cool man got to love star wars.
I love the comments about how good the real sets and big models of the falcon etc were. Look at the prequels and its two actors surrounded by green screen... Ridley Scott said about Prometheus that it was actually cheaper to build rather than use computers...
As much of an SOB Anthony Daniels can be, I do enjoy listening to his dulcet tones.
Interesting, I like to see where the ideas came from and the process to different movies.
May the Force be with you...always!
First time I saw this particular documentary... Fantastic...
Great Narration there Anthony Daniels your the best C3PO in my favorite Star Wars films
how have i never seen this doc before i thought i've seen everything
+cjms08 It was probably only shown in the UK.
the opening sequence music reminds me of a walking with dinosaurs doc.
Good to learn about the more troubling part of making a movie :)
Star Wars=The legend of King Arthur set in space.
TrOllinM4sTEr King Arthur=The legend of Gilgamesh set in England.
Thanks for sharing this.
anthony daniels and kenny baker, the only persons that was in every movie
including the newest one :D
In this galaxy not so long ago or far away, I was born the same year Star Wars came out. I have a special kind of pride about that.
Lightning in a bottle. ⚡👍

It's not alot, but it's our life!" 😂
It was great , thanks for sharing it

This piece was excellent!
George Lucas has done a fantastic job on Star Wars.

Mark Hamill looks really young in this documentary. Does anyone know when this was released?
Not sure but his hair kind of has a late 80's early 90's style to it.
in official document by Star Wars it is vey big part about John.

..in Sumerian lore ..
Vador could be Marduk.
.Luke would be Enki..
and Chuwee would be Enkidu..same for ancient Egyptian and Greek myths too...Wow!
That was very good
The Hero with a thousand faces. Joseph Campbell.......must see if our library has it. If not Hastings will.
love the cheesy narration...i mean it sounds cheesy but it's actually really good.
Looks amazing, the UK people seem to like it, when is it coming to theaters in America?
That would be awesome and weird at the same time.
24:07 Disney, take a note on this please
When are these interviews from? They look pre-Prequels era....
Still mind blowing after watching that. Long story short, don't take shit from no one
where did this came from?

No wonder George Lucas gave Hayden the lines about "sand." Comes from his and the team's experience with filming A New Hope in the desert.
not included on the bluray special features and on dvd...
Star Wars.....looks like a good film...is it?
Can you get it on DVD and I'll watch it.
Oh...thank you, Robert H. : )
14:06 "C-P30's arms". Since when did they change that droid's name??
It's a little known fact that Anthony Daniels can perform Shakespeare in over six million forms of communication. That's the classical English acting school for you. (Sir Alec Guinness, of course, was fluent in over 12 million forms, but he didn't like to boast :)

Oodlepoodle Puke American money gets all the credit
Prroduced, written, financed, directed & distributed by Americans. I would call it a co-operative American / U.K. movie. Nobody wants to take away anything from the Brits that worked on it, filmed it, & acted in it.
But since George Lucas is an American film maker & he conceived the idea & created the script, directed & produced, not to mention special effects house ILM, I am comfortable calling Star Wars "an American film".
Sure.
question. who wrote the concept of star wars
If Im not mistaken its all came from the mind of George Lucas.
ah STAR WARS classic (literally)
15:50 I wish they would still build sets for Star Wars. Blue screen must be so boring for the actors.
It's boring for the viewers too. Big sets are visually impressive. CGI backdrops impress no one.
Dont forget that CGI FX is a tools for director's imagination whithout limitation and low budget to build incredible things.
For me only the result count.
In another words, there is no bad CGI movie,There is only bad movies.
For sure i love the model's build on the the V episode R2D2 or dead star etc but if the technologie can made some more imerssive the story tale's i agree with 2 and's. Sorry for my approximative English

They HAVE to blue screen some things.

Anyone know when this was made?
+Noah Caboose No
Dennis Vance godamn it

1980 I bet . Luke says 25 years old when he is dead. I think he was 21 or so when making of Star Wars ?
1997, from what I can find on the inter webs
WTF? Not one mention of John Williams, the guy who wrote the music?
Would be interesting if there are mechanized animatronics for the beasts in The Force Awakens. I wonder if it were possible, George would have liked to introduce the Krayt dragons. The Harry Potters look very realistic, hope TFA can achieve.
When was this documentary made?
@@MaqueradingDebutante Lol thanks it’s amazing how you can answer a question of mine that was asked when I was a completely different person :)
and thus the perfect choice for playing 3po
Anthony Daniels sounds so much like Richard Dawkins.
indeed
Sony down there isn't letting people reply,must've known what the reaction would be. He or she clearly has a pre existing resentment of the UK which has nothing to do with that movie. I have no ties to England besides maybe the language but that seemed unreasonably harsh
what year was this first aired?
Well, this is new, I've never seen this before. Anthony assures The Force Awakens will leave behind The Empire Strikes Back, that's a rather ambitious and bold statement to make. It should, first of all, try to best the 1977 movie. I'm afraid I have my doubts about that.
So that's where George Lucas got the whole idea of the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force and the words from Yoda where he teaches Luke about how anger, aggression and fear from. The one at 11:42 to 11:43, the Bible and Jesus, the whole Jedi religion thing based on the idea from the Bible.
I see Joseph Campbell's influences in the original Star Wars.
It's influence can be felt on the Prequels as well.
Chewbacca doesn't get a medal at the end :(
I think it was "Where is mah fookin' medal?!?"
THE MAKING OF STAR WARS
Why don't we use Blue-Screen instead of Green-Screen today?
STAR WARS was what it was like in the days of Noah before the great flood.This was how life was like on Earth back then.
I'd like to see these people talk about the prequels lol
My dad Nick Harrison, who is in this video, worked on episode 1 in Elstree. He had multiple pieces of set and ships that I got to sit in as a kid.
