  • was this filmed with an eggplant?

  • 240p... we meet again.

  • please no talk of these prequels they dont exist as far as Im concerned

  • @MrROTD

    Oh really? They are far better than the old movies...

  • @MrROTD Totally agree. What sequels? lol

  • shit why did George spoil the music at jabba´s palace and replaced the singer with that fake cgi. ridiculous. everyone hates it .

  • Oh man, the Emperor! That wrinkled old creep used to make me crap my pants when I was little! He was my worst nightmare! Not even Vader could scare me that much! Every time I remembered that corpse-alike face, those dark eyes, the black hood and his demonic voice I could no longer even think of even trying to fall asleep! And even now his imposing appearance makes me respect him and consider him the greatest villain of all time!

  • Of ALL the crap he DIDN'T change, why NOT change the cantina scene then?!! He always wanted better creatures and now he coulda easily done it instead hes messin around with other crap

  • GEORGE IA BECOMING CENIL AND WITH ILUISIONS OF GRANDEUR - THE SKY IS THE LIMIT . THERE IS NO ENDING TO ALL THE CHANGES HE IS MAKING . NEXT MOVIES WILL BE TOTALLY CGI - LIKE CRAPATAR

  • Has George ever shaved?

  • So the star wars the world likes he does not like and the star wars he wants on screen a lot of people feel is dull. Maybe the quirks and imperfections made out of the first 2 movies something no man conceived.

  • 0:46 MORTAL KOMBAT!!!

  • not seen this in years nice one cheers for posting it

  • 6 people had their lightsaber stolen

  • Do or do not.There is no try.

  • Gotta love mono.

  • The prequels are a disgrace to the original trilogy.

  • star wars is the best movie of the world

  • when was the word "sith" used for the first time?

  • @Henry14arsenal2007 In the original novelization (published in 1976) Darth Vader is referred to as a "Sith Lord" and other Sith Lords before him are briefly mentioned, although not in detail.

  • @Henry14arsenal2007 That's a good question. If I remember right, I don't think the term, "Sith", was ever used in the original trilogy. I do think I remember it being used on a Darth Vader Iron-on back in the day, or in an official Star Wars/Return of the Jedi, magazine though, where it actually said, "Darth Vader: Lord of the Sith". I can remember seeing that as a kid and not knowing what the hell it meant, or it's context. Definitely something to look into.

  • 6:06 It's always nice to know George gave his agent a cameo!

  • Star Wars ever and ever the best production of Cinema! George Lucas is a Master!

  • is there anywhere i can get this on dvd?.

  • i just realized that this stuff shaped me more than elementary school

  • Comment removed

  • noone can top star wars not evan in todays tecnolagy

  • Here it is the father of the visual effects modern era. Who dares to deny it?

  • @GenMaul well said

  • This along with every other documentary needs to be on the blu rays!

  • I still have my original VHS recording of this from when it premiered on PBS. Why this has not been included on any of the DVDs is beyond me. It's an excellent behind-the-scenes look. Here's hoping it's finally included on the upcoming Blu-Ray set.

  • no offence to george lucas but episode 1 2 and 3 are shit!

  • 5 dislikers can suck my giant rancor balls.....ooookay

  • My childhood in a nutshell ... i'm still collecting starwars action figures ... have a shitload of them ... But i hide them whenever friends or girls come over !!! :-)))

  • @Borat911 Fear is the path to the dark side... Star Wars is cool!

  • @Borat911 Why do you hide your StarWars action figures when friends come over, and why do you hide them when girls come over?

  • @Borat911 man display your collection okay maybe not when the girls come over but  your friends HELL YEAH star wras is the shit

  • @ MrDavidFILM. Yes. The term Sith started appearing long before the prequels in the expanded universe in the novels.

  • Did he say the dark lord of the Sith...And this was BEFORE The Phantom Menace!!!!

  • Georgle Lucas is like Anakin. He's now turned to the dark side!

  • @umairrrr Do you think he can be turned back...or is he more of a digital machine now than analog man...

  • @MrDavidFILM He might make one good movie and then die, like Darth Vader saved Luke then died lol

  • Comment removed

  • He hasn't.. :)

  • All 6 star wars are my favourite movies of all time. While this may piss people off, I must say that I think it would be both incredibly cool and fascinating if george lucas attempted to re-create the original 3 today... now that he has access to more developed forms of technology.

  • @TubesforDudes

    You are everything that is wrong with the world.

  • @Fkouch, while i know a lot of people agree with you, i do think it is ironic that a lot of people agree with you. I mean, these movies were meant to be created in a technological age that could properly display George Lucas' intense imagination... 1977 isn't what i would call an advanced technological period compared to today.

  • lucas co-wrote empire?

  • Thank god he never had as much money then as he did for the prequels.

  • mark hamill is too sexy........i love you

  • THX 1138 is a better movie then Episode 4

  • @kirbienstien ...i love THX1138 but the "new" version with CGI added into the movie was unnecessary and looks so fake..i wish Luca$ would stop trying to "fix" his movies! they are fine the way they are...

  • really funny that ofter a little movie such a hipe came out^^

  • Love old vintage making of documentaries. 

  • The Star Wars movies will always be the center of my childhood.

  • People with the vision of Lucas come along every generation at the most. Episode 4 is probably one of the best films ever made. In these days of CGI, i really doubt anyone will come along with anything better in our lifetimes.

  • Did he said SITH? i never heard somebody saing this word before EPISODE I

  • @ObelixDasTier Darth Vader was called by the emperor, Lord Vader, dark Lord of the Sith!!

  • @robertmaniac no, that's not true. in the old trilogy, noone ever said "sith".

  • @iLoveNoodles1918 really? my bad then!! good excuse to watch the original trilogy!!

  • @robertmaniac heheheh, indeed, every excuse is good. btw, don't worry, once i also wasn't so sure about sith word in the old trilogy. but really i was "looking" for that in the old trilogy and didn't found at all.

  • @robertmaniac In the movie? man... if thats true, the german translation is very fucked up.

  • @robertmaniac

    Nope, not in the original trilogy.

  • @ferriswiel yeha!, i found out that i got that from the comic version of the original trilogy!!

    there he was called dark lord of the sith, but never on the movie!!

  • to be honest the only effects that they should change in make the lightsaber effects better, other than that everything is amazing! i hate all the CG ships in I, II, III, real models give more life to the film plus amazing story!

  • @Reeclan plus you can make a lightsaber in adobe afterfects in all of 15 minutes... the old way was awesome, now everything is cheap, course we'll be saying the same thing in another 10-20 yearsdown the road

  • sounds like none of u get it...........waffling on about technicalities..............to REAL star wars fans, none of that crap matters mate...............

  • 6:30 shut up lucas, the cantena was fine.

  • @psyjax -- i agree, Lucas has 'redesigned' the trilogy so many times, he forgot what the original vision was - STOP with the 'special, special limited enhanced editions' !!!!!

  • @disengagejam To be fair, the special edition is really what George Lucas wanted to do in the first place, but didn't have the technology at the time

  • @MultiNomadman -- granted some directors know how to handle a 'special edition' release without sacrificing much of the original (Ridley Scott and Cameron to name a few) but COME ON - you're telling me changing Boba Fett's voice in Empire, adding that ridiculous dance number and transposing Vader's image with Hayden into Jedi was for the best ?? WTF Lucas doesn't care about the fans - money is the only thing on his mind !

  • Props make it looks so real P:

  • MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey lulzist is a complete faggot lol!

  • a shame the last 3 movies were utter garbage, fucking douchebag

  • @labartic aww boo freaking hoo. bitching about them ain't gonna make them go poof!

  • Could you imagine a comparable intro for the new films? The original Star Wars saga had depth to it, actual substance. The new trilogy is just a collection of sterile CGI shots, with no characters, no tension and plot that seems to be a collection of actions that only serve to set up the next shot.

  • @Astbruchgefahr The prequels rock!!!

  • too bad they used topo many CGI-effects in the "new" films. THe toys they were using looked more realistic.

  • 4 stupid ppl missed the like button

  • @stickman019 no! 4 stupid people are trekies.

  • george was really a nice guy he gave the main stars 0.6 % of all royalties because they took such a small fee. harrison said that this gesture aloud him to be picky in his next movies he made a million in a second.

  • the REAL version of star wars IV, V and VI forever FUCK the altered versions, they are freaking stupid

  • I own this on 16mm film. Just transferred into my computer for burning to DVD. This is a great documentary.

  • I think the first three films were a master piece. Later on the prequals it was a disaster. I think they went a little crazy with the cgi thing and it looked a saturday morning cartoons at times. They should have stayed with the original series recipe.

  • star wars is my favorite movie of all time thanks to gorge lucas :)

  • its a shame mark hamill has resorted to narrating his own film.

  • @RningRiot he narrated that when return of the jedi came out. dont be an idiot.

  • why is every planet breadable in star wars galaxy

  • @johnrigo just some. Think, there are billions of planets, probably more. how many did they see in the saga? Not .00001 percent.

  • hard to believe that singing scene that confused me so much when i saw the dvd release was actually made back during the original with a puppet singer instead of a cg one

  • yeah that singing thing looks kinda ridiculous by todays standards.

  • 4:08 id kill to have one of those storyboards, its sad to think that maybe they throw them away or destroy them when they were finish.

  • @isacloboz If you wrote a book and got it printed would you throw away the master copy?

  • @thepryest

    i wouldnt thats for sure, the master copy could be worth millions if you become famous

  • Star Wars fan to death!!! Return of the Jedi is the best!

    Jedi Knight Forever!!!

  • @snipersixx80 lol!!! many of the funniest lines are tucked away in these spam boxes.

  • Doesn't even sound like Hamill.

  • Can't get enough of watching Star Wars "behind the scenes" material. Where the magic happens

  • 3:39 I still love that clip of George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and Richard Marquand for their honored photo shoot!

  • Watching all six in chronological order, it's interesting to see that Luke takes after their father in more ways then one, and Leia takes after their mother

  • In skills, yeah, but personality wise Leia's a lot like Anakin, too.

  • star wars for life.

  • STARWARS JEDI - HET MAKEN VAN EEN SAGA!

  • sounds like you're autistic or something, so i'll be nice....SHUT YOUR RETARDED MOUTH!!!

  • Wow! Memories! Been looking for this doco. I watched it and taped it in NZ back in 1985, but then accidently erased over about a quarter of the program (horror!!) Hopefully Uncle George will included as an Easter Egg on the Ultimate Star wars Hexology Blu-Ray Box, whenever that comes out....

  • I still have this old VHS tucked away in my collection. Would love to see it rereleased on dvd, even in the same crappy quality.

  • I used to have this on VHS, but it was recorded over years ago. I've been looking for it ever since. would love this on DVD.

  • GEORGE LUCAS IS THE MAN!

  • 1:25 This video reminds me... who is the fake vader Luke kills there?

  • it's Luke as Darth Vader. It was he's fear, to become the next apprentice of te emperor

  • Or, if you've ever watched the spoofs, like the "Pink Five" series, it's self explanatory...

  • Comment removed

  • still your a nobody

  • I have this on VHS still. Too bad they don't rerelease these old docs on DVD. I love the 'roughness' of these, mainly because they use a lot more on-set footage, whereas behind-the-scenes stuff on DVD's today is mostly talking heads.

  • Star Wars is the best movie of all time :)

  • @shayprescott No, Empire's the best. Star Wars is the second-best. ;)

  • @shayprescott No, it is not. But it's very close.

  • @shayprescott

    Yes star wars is the greatest movie of all time!

  • @shayprescott I agree. It really defined what movies should look like.

  • @shayprescott MOVIE?!?! star wars is no movie! star wars is a way of life.................

  • @shayprescott The prequels suck balls though

  • @shayprescott, I'll never be effected by a film than when I first saw this, (in 1977), it changed my life forever.

    It will never be more revolutionary and ground-breaking, it's film perfection.

  • @shayprescott Series to be exact

  • @shayprescott So good in fact...it's more, than a movie.

  • does anybody know where to get this besides VHS copy? i really want it again. Please help!

  • 10 ESTRELLAS

  • its amazing that 6 movies could spawn action figures, books, comics, and other things, Just goes to show how innovative those films are

  • yeah, its could, but it is in poor quality, this is NOT the uploaders fault, prolly due it was either ecorded on tv or taken from vhs

  • Great documentary. Saw this on TV years ago, and still have it on VHS. Wish they'd put this out officially on DVD.

  • make star wars 7

  • why? do you even know what episode 7 would be about?

  • how about the formation of the rebellion and the main part should be how the rebels got the death star plans?

  • password,

    How about you shove your head back up your asshole?

  • yeah its good.. you can cum fuck me again

  • That's the best you can do? Not shocking at all.

  • why are you saying that.. I need your thumb dick... don'y lie to all these good people.. you need me Arthur..

  • why do you have to be so sick. Its one thing to do it in the real world but in your wackin computer chair is pathetic. You do know that their are decent people who come on here. Show you are decent and be the better person by not commenting to such filth with more Filth.

  • LOL HAHA

  • or luke and mara jade meeting and mating to have Cade Skywalker

  • luke and mara had ben not cade

  • Alright, whatever

  • Luke and Mara Jade's son is Ben Skywalker

  • Comment removed

  • That stupid singing thing at Jabba'a palace sounds like Yoko Ono.

  • The singing thing (Sy Snoodles) kinda looks like Yoko Ono too.

  • Wow you can tell George Lucas really want to change stuff

  • I didn't think Sith was a term until the Phantom Menace!

  • this is awesome thank you so much!

  • i still have this on vhs :P thanks for uploading this :)

  • Thank you, THANK YOU for posting this!

  • oh yeah, well *I* had it on Wax Cylinder 200 years ago, before wax cylinders were even invented long long ago in a galaxy far far away.

  • This is great , I used to have this on VHS 100 years ago. Thnk you so much.

  • The Complete star wars saga (all 6 movies) is one of the greatest story's ever told -even IF 1,2 and 3 aren't AS GOOD as 4,5 and 6 when watched in order its amazing. Its designed to get better and better as you watch anyways. I love the prequels JUST AS MUCH as i love the 2nd half of the saga and i know a lot of other people do too.

  • I Have this on VHS.

  • No, Dude, get me wrong not. I am very grateful to God for George because he made us dream about something no other movie was able to do so. I said sahe on him because he tried to say that the computer generated/ninja moves bullshit movies are as good or even better than the old movies. The reality, the acting, the talent, and the SOUL wasn't there. In today's day and age watching the so-called AMAZING sequels is basically watching Power Rangers on the Cartoon Network. THINK ABOUT IT

  • I think I see what you're saying. It's not that you're saying he's a bad person, just that they've gotten so dependent on CGI, that they've lost the focus on the story and the former style of a space age folklore with layered characters.

  • i was wondering when someone was goin to post these..good job..i havent seen this since 1986

  • THANKS VERY MUCH! I'm a big fan!

  • I believe this was a bonus VHS that came with the first pressings of the original trilogy. My uncle had it.

  • These first 3 episodes were beyond the best. The other 3 where Lucas uses computer animation were disgraces. He said that people complain that the new Star Wars movies didn't feel real, and he said "Of course they are not real" But what people mean is that THESE older movies felt so real, they can actually made you feel you were there in the flesh. The new movies are an artificial,no-feel,I-can-see-t­he-computer-effects kind of shit. Shame on George. Episode IV,V, & VI Forever Classics

  • I agree!!

  • me too..

    i didnt even like the remastering of the cantina of the old ANH movie..

    the new music act was shait..

  • Disgraces?! I resent that. The first three were pioneering special effect masterpieces, along with a more than engaging story. The other three were no different, just utilizing the technology we have today.

    You got to remember: George is a car enthusiast. And what do they like to do? Tinker and soup up their creations to make them better.

  • here here!

  • Whilst I agree that the prequels weren't as good, saying "shame on george" is pretty sad, he gave you the orignals so be grateful.

    Not to mention the fact that the prequels didn't suck, it just wasn't as good.

  • I remember us watching this in my high school Video Productions.

  • HAHA luke kissed his sister on the lips.

  • I thought George would be extremely different back then, have a different way of explaining things. The only thing thats different is the age and the neck.

  • george lucas talks with like no volume, everyone else is louder than him when he speaks, SPEAK UP BOY

  • Thanks for posting, havent seen this doc since Australian tv airing in late '83.

    Happy memomries.

  • Thanks you so much, I love this doc. God I miss the old ILM... Yeah this thing has my favorite Lucas quote. It'ss guided me on my journey into FX and Animation, and ultimatly makes me so sad when I see what's happened to SW, ILM and the whole Lucasfilm Legacy... "A special effect without a story is a very boring thing" oh George, truer words were never spoken old friend... we miss you.

  • Why do you miss him? He isn't dead

  • The old George Lucas is.
