Hello all. I’m on the lookout for 2 of the star wars making of specials; “A Long Time Ago: The Story of Star Wars” which was a BBC special. “SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back” which was a pbs special and “Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi” hosted by Carrie Fischer & Billy Dee Williams. (not sure on the network it was originally aired) If anyone know’s where I can obtain these I would be ever so greatful. Please e-mail me any info on finding these specials at gopunkyourself@yahoo.com. Also I’m working on getting “When Star Wars Ruled The World” (the recent VH1 special) uploaded. So keep an eye out for that! THANKS!!

Check with Rikter, I think he has those. I pretty sure TR47 has some of those are an extra's disc.


Made for IE Forum's Episode III theme month - May 2005.

I would like a copy of that Story of Star Wars thing too. Never even saw that. Probably because it was a BBC special and I'm in America.
I'd like to see that VH1 thing too.
The other stuff is available from TR47 and Rikter (that much I know).
