  1. This documentary is incredibly interesting and unlike any I've seen about John Williams or the Star Wars films. The rare footage of Williams, Lucas and Kurtz working on The Empire Strikes Back, sitting with the editor, watching footage on a 35mm flatbed machine, is just remarkable. I wonder if the BBC has the original footage in a vault somewhere? Robkizzy, wherever you found this, I thank you for sharing. TESB changed my life at age 9. This was a huge treat to watch. Loved it!
