“Standby…Lights! Camera! Action! was an American educational television series hosted by Leonard Nimoy. The program aired on Nickelodeon from October 1982 to December 31, 1987. Episodes of the show include interviews with film crew members and examine the stages of production for various motion pictures in a behind-the-scenes format.”

The fragment posted above includes footage of the Jabba Sail Barge set, interviews with Phil Tippet & Richard Marquand, and a tour of the creature workshop. It also has Nimoy clarify to 1983 viewers that the title of the film has been changed from “Revenge of the Jedi” to “Return of the Jedi” and that it will be the third episode of a “middle trilogy” of nine films.

PS. I skimmed through YouTube but I couldn’t find more of the episode. Please let me know if you know where I can find the whole thing.
