(1977) The computer graphics for the first Star Wars film was created by Larry Cuba in the 1970s at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Wow. Very interesting. I always wondered why in the animation the trench runs through the Death Star's weapon.
Fez: I am so excited about Star Whores.
Hyde: Fezzy, man, it's Star Wars.

Interesting video. I wonder if Jambe has seen this.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Yeah, saw it last night (thanks to sluggo and CSP).

Very interesting and a great find. To my knowledge, I don't think I've ever seen anything about the graphics used in SW before.

Thanks for posting.
