I watched the episodes that covered Star Wars 1977 and was surprised to see theatrical footage and not from a laserdisc source and not special edition 1997 or anything after. The dirt and scratches and the lack of any sort of digital cleanup was very obvious.

This proves Lucas is lying about the film being a laserdisc. Because it’s terrible that’s how it was. if the original cut only exists on laserdisc where did Kasdan get the film from for this documentary?

The part about Lucas allowing ILM members and even the equipment to be on used on Battlestar Galactica was something i never knew. I knew John Dykstra had been fired, but I never knew he stayed on as long as he did and just wasn’t asked to join the select members who moved from Van Nuys to the new location to do Empire.

Grant Mccune was only talked about briefly i wish he was alive to tell his story.

Also the part with the company that had employed a lot of them to do tv commercials before ILM was interesting, i know Lucas talked about them doing Pillsbury commercials i never knew the name of the company.
