Nothing for Star Wars or Empire yet, but the show where Jedi was reviewed and a special episode about the trilogy are up in the 1983 section.

Heh, funny that Ebert mentions George planning six more Star Wars movies in the Return of the Jedi review.

I saw the Secrets of/ROTJ show when it aired originally (and I recorded the audio with a tape recorder-lol). I love that show.

I can't believe that they don't have the video up from a master. It's just a VHS copy. Very surprising.

Given that these shows might have been considered ephemeral when they were made, they might not have all been preserved in the best quality.

I really do miss those simpler times, before 24-hour, real time, sensory\connectivity overload.

I just watched the Phantom Menace episode and I noticed that when they played a clip of the Greedo scene later in the episode, Han still shot first.  And no digital stuff in Mos Eisley.
