I much prefered the way the episode 1 documentary was made with just bts footage and you can actualy see the people strugaling and making the movie instead if just a voice over explaiing evrything

The Making of Star Wars
I’ve always wondered. Do they film the behind the scenes always during movies. And do they release them only if the movie succeeds. Alec guinness seems so miserable lol. I can’t un think of Luke and Leia being brother and sister. I forget that nobody knew, Even George. Which I found to be really weird. He was like “yeah Leia could go for either of them”. So then even did you make them siblings??? Lmao mark Hamill was calling Han a chump if Leia didn’t go for Luke. It’s weird seeing Harrison ford saying/seeing he was having fun on Star Wars.
