There’s lots of great BTS footage from the making of the ANH here that I’ve never seen before, and it’s always nice to see Gary Kurtz get some attention for a change. I’ve also added the Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher interview videos from the same YouTube channel as well, but keep in mind that the Carrie Fisher part is done entirely in French without the translator.

This three part interview is from the TV series Spécial Cinéma which ran on the French TV channel RTS in Switzerland from 1974 to 1997.
