- jccc 10y agoOne of the things about "The Force Awakens" that helped me gloss over its (real, but just a few) downsides was seeing how many people like this were brought together again after so long to collaborate on another honest-to-God Star Wars movie.

- dpflan 10y agoI remember watching this documentary about how the films were made, narrated by Mark Hamill. You get to see many of the details of original films (pre-CGI overload). As a kid it was really fascinating to see how the movies' magic was created - like the actors in places you didn't expect and puppeteers and models...etc - About - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Star_Wars_to_Jedi:_The_Making_of_a_Saga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Star_Wars_to_Jedi:_The_Ma... - Found it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUczUdIYMyM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUczUdIYMyM
