Its kind of hilarious to document a film which doesn’t really exist anymore. The 2020 Special Edition isn’t the movie those effects pioneers made. I doubt that will change either i expect the Anniversary of Return of the Jedi to come and go and to not actually get the original film on its 40th Anniversary. But it might still be of interest to see what Larry uncovers on the behind the scenes stuff, if it isn’t fluff or what we all know already.
The artists, model builders etc, more of them die every year. Its atrocious the film is still being suppressed.
ILM itself is quite an institution though. Still are. Many amazing visual effects through the years.
