For anyone who loved this series as much as I did, it’s on sale on iTunes right now for $5.99 (down from $12.99).

There is a ‘Icons Unearthed: Star Wars’ companion book coming out in May:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/icons-unearthed-peter-holmstrom/1141939366

There are not many details and seems expensive $28 US. But I hope there is more stories and information from the cast and crew that featured in the series. And maybe even some updates too.

Yep. Their company (Nacelle) is coming out with two other books next year that might be of interest to people here.

  1. One is on the radio dramas: A Wind to Shake the Stars: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8BJZ5LD/?coliid=I359QU1JNQ3NC1&colid=H7HTKBYC5QTS&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

  2. The other is on Indiana Jones: It’s Not the Years, It’s the Mileage: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8BG696Q/?coliid=ILSNM5O9Y2NRQ&colid=H7HTKBYC5QTS&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I’m assuming they’ve collected so many interviews with people who have worked on both that I wouldn’t be surprised if they threw them into these 3 books. ALSO, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next Icons Unleashed is about Indiana Jones to tie in with the new film (and that book).

Info: Analog Home Video Releases of Films That Feature Additional Footage That've Never Been Digitally Released

Sea of Love (1995) - DVD/Blu-ray here
and here are three deleted scenes totaling 6 minutes. The three additional scenes add up to only 8 minutes, so I’m wondering if it’s only two.

If anyone has any of these DVD/Blu-ray’s and can verify these releases, please feel free to share them here.

One particular VHS for Sea of Love (that I posted to myspleen) has an extended version that’s never been released.

I don’t see any problem with not wanting to work with your ex. Seems like a natural thing for a human being.

I find it a little ironic that she apparently left George because he wouldn’t stop making movies, but now she thinks it’s unfortunate that she wasn’t brought in to do the prequels.

Still, it would’ve been interesting to see what impact she might’ve had on the prequels.

In what way did she “fix” ROTJ?

watch the doc. It’s absolutely worth it, especially the Jedi episode

Just watched that 4th episode.

Wow. That’s all I have to say. To all of it.

Very much this, and also The 5th episode of the series too. Some interesting views and opinions in it on the Special Edition and Phantom Menace films. Just 1 more episode still to be shown.

Everyone seems to be too busy salivating over L&M to talk about this. I find it far more interesting.

Empire Strikes Back - Press Conference on eBay

There’s no way they’re getting that price, never mind that I’m sure they have no idea if the tape still works. However, there must be more of these around. Why have they never turned up?

Just finished watching and yeah like what the above comment says not much new in terms of information. Nice to get Marcia Lucas’ input for once but otherwise not much that past documentaries haven’t already told us.

There was a bunch of stuff in the Empire episode that I had never heard before.

I haven’t seen that one yet.

So what HAVE you watched? 3 episodes have aired. You’re judging a whole series on…what…one episode? 2?

ILM - Disney+ 6 part documentary series
Time

Roobyoo said:

Weren’t there rumours (maybe two or three years ago) that Lucasfilm or Disney was scanning and digitalizing all SW material they have in the archives? By the look of it, they have indeed - or are still doing it. Just look at all this perfect quality BTS material, especially the crew footage of ILM.

They were. I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of the workers had their own footage as well, bringing in their own home movie cameras and saving that footage in their basements for years.

Marcia Lucas Speaks!

Kamdan said:

Thank you very much for bringing this new series to my attention! I watched the intro and I’m already hooked and it’s great to see Marcia be acknowledged, especially how she outright says that George pretended she didn’t even exist after their divorce. This series also seems to be conscious about utilizing the original versions of the films, as they used a clip of Sebastian Shaw as unmasked Darth Vader with his eyebrows fully intact.

Umm…there’s a whole thread about it 😉

There were many interviews done for this event and they were all posted online right after the event took place. A few sites picked up on the interviews after they were released

Absolutely. I remember those. But they weren’t a part of a big documentary series or something that the general public was aware of. Now, that’s also not to say that the general public is aware of this doc either but…I digress. 😃
