The Beginning: Making Episode I

You’re kidding me. They still can’t format the documentary properly. It was filmed in the 16:9 aspect ratio originally, but it’s in the 4:3 aspect ratio. So there’s black bars on the top and bottom of the frame and on each side. Poor Jake Lloyd. They said the budget was 50 million then I looked at Wikipedia and saw 115 million lol. I couldn’t imagine just sitting at an empty desk writing The Attack Of The Clones on a yellow notepad and a pencil. Like that just seems insane to me. Funny enough this “documentary” is almost better than the actual movie lmao.

I think this is my favourite making-of documentary. When I was quite young I watched it and didn’t quite gather exactly what was happening in it, but it  contributed to my ambitions of become a filmmaker from a very young age.

And now when I watch it I still get the feelings I did when I was younger, but now I get the hilarious twist when they first watch what the fuck they just made, and when you hear Lucas admit he may have gone too far in certain parts, it’s truly just the cherry on top of what’s already a perfect perfect documentary.

Cannot recommend this highly enough, it’s pure magic

This is so fucking cool and bat shit insane at the same time. To see early Jar Jar tests, George Lucas asking the visual effects team to revolutionize their industry in real time, watch Ewan McGregor & Liam Neeson lightsaber training, see the co-editors want to commit suicide every single day, AND JOHN WILLIAMS COMPOSE DUAL OF THE FATES?? Banger.

When they shaved Ewan's gorgeous long hair to give him a rat's tail, I got a little teary eyed.
