Viewing Notes
Wasn’t planning on watching another SW doc tonight but I just kept going bc it’s right there… and damnit if this isn’t the most charming, delightful fucking thing. Also bittersweet. Seeing Alec Guinness and Carrie Fisher interviewed at this time in their lives is quite special. Carrie is so fucking adorable. Also the BTS stuff is wonderful watching these actors having fun.
I miss this George Lucas. For all those fuckers out there that aren’t down w/the humor in THE LAST JEDI, Lucas even states here (40+ years ago) that he wanted the droids to be the comedy relief. ~sigh~ I wonder if he still has that giant gumball machine. Also, so much plaid back in the day (even more noticeable on the SPFX ESB doc I just watched).
What’s cool about this is that at the time none of these people had any idea of how big and historic SW would become. They’re just making a movie and all that. It’s nice to see. I love seeing Harrison Ford just having a good time.
The William Conrad narration is just *chef’s kiss* perfect.
