ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Buck Aroo This is an excellent documentary, which contains highlights of the other behind-the-scenes films on the making of the saga, and some newer (for 1983 anyway) footage from ROTJ. George Lucas gives us his insight into what he was trying to achieve, and his frustration at the limitations of the special effects at that time. He also, interestingly, hints that he would like to return one day and make further instalments to the saga...Mmmmmm. Was that wise George?Anyway, it's a must see for any SW fan, and an essential purchase if you can find a copy. I've got mine.
