(1977) The computer graphics for the first Star Wars film was created by Larry Cuba in the 1970s at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

  • Man this is inspiring

  • @Colbynfriends

    thanks :)

  • @zviaditemp I think that was from the 1990's special edition where they went back and cleaned things up and put new effects in, such as the one you just mentioned.

  • how they made 3D animal? one scene is droid is riding on it. it is unbelievable.

    1977 computer Could do it?

  • just wonder how long it probably took to make the real,edited,flying trough the trench version

  • In 1976, they did a lot with very little. In 2007, you did very little with a lot. Congratulations.

  • I'm wondering if it wouldn't have been easier to use a quality stencil cartoon, rather than creating a program on those PCs.

  • In space they have poor CGI

  • THE EFFECTS WERE CREATED BY INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC!
