Anybody even have this program?
It was televised in 1983 and had Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher interviewed.
I have seen some jpeg screen caps on someone's site other than that nothing in google for the video.
No Youtube, and the show is not even listed on imdb.
But it is listed on the bfi site.

Recently digitized a VHS tape with this program on it. Details here:

The Cast of E.T. performing 'It's so nice to make a movie' is the high/lowlight. Very lite.
This topic is a perfect example of why this board is unique among movie boards and why we should be taken very seriously as film historians\aficionados\groupies\nerds\whatever you want to call us.
Member one - "Hey - anyone remember this old TV special from 30 years ago?...it had the cast from Star Wars...I saw a screencap one time...it's not even listed on IMDB"
Member two - "Yeah, man. I digitized a copy. Here's a link"

Babs said it best...
Where were you in '77?
Why was this one too obvious?
For me this is a good example of letting people know something exists, and those with an interest will re-find it. The problem for me is knowing there's all these things i'd like to see, but I don't know they exist. Like the ESB Parbot doc., what other SW docs/interviews/etc might have been made back then and much of societies' just forgotten. But with a title or a scrap of information, interest to re-see it can build and in time, someone will get it back out so those interested.
This '15 Greatest' doc is pretty bad, with a strong air of hoity-toity. The SW interviews are standard fare, Fisher is chatty but gets cutup and a loud laugh track, Hamill's in promo mode explaining his character and the sequels direction. and Ford is reaching the end of his interviewing so he's aloof, as he knows he won't have to do interviews he doesn't want very soon. and this could be one of the first major appearances for Anthony Daniels. Plus another live performance from Williams.
Would have thought the thread dedicated to all the SW Documentaries would have turned into a list factory of titles. But the general interest of these forums swayed away from the non-movie material for the time being. Hopefully more people with memories like skyjedi2005's will post about things they remember seeing. Recently the stuff on youtube has had a resurgence of foreign SW stuff, I would guess there are other SW Japanese documentaries for the OT and possibly a few for the PT. The odd SW themed commercials never seem to end. And OT themed variety shows from European countries are probably still untapped. it's rather endless the media produced which celebrated the movies.
