As this is the time period we live in might as well also mention important Star Wars related youtube videos currently blocked.

Thanks Fox for blocking the Larry Cuba - Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) video of the pioneering work in creating the CGI Death Star sequence.

Larry Cuba personally wrote about the video in the first comment here:

Greetings all.

I have a few comments about this post:

The Video:
This “making of” video was originally
produced for my personal presentations as
I was often asked to explain the process
(back in the 70s and 80s when it was still
obscure).
Lucasfilm was vigilant in protecting its
copyrighted material but OK’d this video at
the time, since i had no intention of
distributing it.
(although copies apparently escaped)
I wonder what they would say, now that the EVL
in Chicago has resurrected it (after 30 years!)
and posted it on YouTube.

If you want it to live host/distribute it yourself.
