Searching for a bit of Star Wars "making of" footage

Author

Some time ago I have seen (maybe on youtube or maybe it was shared by somebody here) an old documentary about making of the short CGI animation of the Death Star. The footage was very low quality but I haven’t seen it in any other officially released documentary. I would like to watch it again, but it’s kind of hard to do when you don’t know where have you seen something and how was it called 😃
Does anybody else remember this footage and could help me find it?

Just watched that video. Once again, I found myself reading the comment section against my better judgement, where I found this gem:

It took video games almost 20 years in the future 1996, to become full 3d. And this is 1977 and that dude it rendering full 3d images…haha thats just fucking mind blowing! My guess it they most likely had a rendering farm, with its dozen, if not hundreds of computer all connected to one to have more memory and stuff. And this dude made a full 3d model of creatures and jabba the hut back 1977…that tech was dozens of years ahead of its time.

The Special Editions have done irreparable harm.
