This 2004 documentary is called "Empire of Dreams: The Story of the 'Star Wars' Trilogy." It was produced by Kevin Burns and Edith Becker, and narrated by Robert Clotworthy. The 15-part playlist ID is PLBFFF374F493658D8. You can find it by searching my playlists, by LoudCitizen.
I like how they reason behind them going back to "Return" was saying that Jedi's don't have revenge. In reality, they saved a LOT on costs across the movie and all of their merchandise by cutting out an extra letter from "Revenge" and make it "Return".
From EP6 and on, I feel like the magic wasn't quite there anymore. The story and even the action sequences had little meaning, in that movie. EP1-2-3 need no explanation.
might i add - i'm brazilian, but my stap father is japanese, and according to him, return of jedi in japan was released as "revenge of the jedi". can anyone confirm me that information? my step father is old enough to clearly remember when episode VI was realese, so i have no reason to doubt him. if anyone can help me answer this question, it would help me (not only know more about star wars history, but also) help me understand a lot more about japanese culture.
Well ive heard that before too. But i also remember hearing that lucas decided to NOT make it revenge of the jedi because that a jedi would not take revenge.
Well the wikipedia article lists it as 「ジェダイの帰還」 (jedai no kikan) which means ''jedi's return/return of the jedi''. It also does say that the title upon release was ジェダイの復讐 (jedai no fukushuu) which does indeed mean 'jedi's 'revenge/revenge of the jedi''. It says the name was changed to ''jedai no kikan'' in 2004 when it was released as a trilogy box-set. Hope that helps.
@xibok nonono, they ARE elite troops, its just they, like all villinous bad guys, were given weapons with accuracy inhibitors and a tendency to run out of ammo at the wrong times
alcohol. Harrison ford and the black guy went on cocaine partys, and george had to retrieve them many times... they recostructed film sets, because carrie fisher couldn't stand straight ! thats hefty facts lol
whoa Harrison and Billie Dee Williams at coke parties? I heard Harrison was the pot head, but didn't know all that. Then again this was the 70s and early 80s. Where do you get your "hefty facts"
actually it's written on Wikipedia, but i began to doubt what you can believe or not. Probably it was a big propaganda shocker or a lie
Read that in 'Star Wars' on wiki.... can you believe Carrie Fisher was that drunk that they had to rebuild Set's? wow ! I think the truth is she was really very, very small, so they had to rebuild to make her bigger ;) ...It sure was pushed
Actually it's only in german version from 'Star Wars' entry at wikipedia. That has much more information anyway
Read 'Der Erfolg mit Star Wars'
There you see "Harrison Ford und Billy Dee Williams mit ihrem Maskenbildner regelmäßig zu Kokspartys gegangen sein sollen, wo Lucas sie suchen musste... etc
At 4:54, it sounds like Leia shot Pee Wee Herman

The name 'ewok' is based on the word 'wookiee' -- they are half the size, and use half the letters.

Storm trooper armor sucks. It doesn't stop blaster shots and primitive ewoks can kill them with rocks and arrows.
