Does anyone know when the, "From Star Wars to Jedi," documentary was posted on the Star Wars youtube channel? It says it was "published" in 2014 but that never means when it was actually uploaded. Was this uploaded after Lucas left, or when he was still in charge? Either way it's interesting because it includes several in depth explanations of how OUT shots were made so I wouldn't expect GL to allow his staff to post it on youtube, but if it's been posted since he sold LFL then that means they're no longer going to pretend like Star Wars wasn't made until 1997, even if they don't release the originals.

EDIT: It's also interesting given that the documentary was not on the blu ray

 It was posted in several parts after the sale.

But even in 2011 for the blu-ray, three classic documentaries were included which detailed the making of the originals, as well as the passionless, 25 minute snoozefest "Anatomy of a Dewback" which details the animation of said creatures for the 1997 Special Edition.

So I don't think George is opposed to explaining how the OUT was made, but he will always pretend that the movie that was made all those years ago is the same as the ones we have now, acting like all of the extensive model, camera, animation work from the originals is still intact.
