Empire of Dreams: The Story of the 'Star Wars' Trilogy

Nowadays, one almost doesn't even think about how lucky the original Star Wars was that it was created and didn't burn up like paper, when so many troubles were involved in the preparations for its filming and the filming itself. And even less would the viewer expect that the next two episodes - with a much better starting position - were similar. This extremely engaging documentary tells the story of those birth pains that paid off in the end in a great way. It's not just an ode to George Lucas, it's a tribute to all the smart, imaginative people who had a hand in Star Wars and gave the world an unexpected phenomenon. That's what I like about it.
