Making of the Computer Graphics for Star Wars (A New Hope)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMeSw00n3Ac - from the evltube YouTube channel (10 mins.)

The blurb:
“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.”

Not exactly sure what year this videotape is from, could be late '70s or early 80’s.
