Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
What's interesting about this video is also what makes it seem amateurish at first: it is neither endorsed nor authorised by 20th Century Fox or Lucasfilm. The result: a montage of interviews with everybody of importance to the Star Wars world--from George Lucas and Liam Neeson to Samuel L. Jackson and Harrison Ford, with intelligently written voice-over narration, and a unique exploration of Star Wars and Star Trek together. This is at once an homage to the Star Wars trilogies and a documentary of its sci-fi precursors, from silent film to Star Trek.

Since this collection of interviews isn't authorised by Lucasfilm, you won't find footage of the Star Wars movies here, although you will find terrific snippets from sci-fi milestones such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis. A youthful Carrie Fisher talk about the interplanetary appeal of the original Star Wars, while a 20-years-older Fischer talks about the films' fairytale-like grasp across generations. Young and older Harrison Fords and Mark Hamill give interesting perspectives as well; the video also sports one of the longer interviews recorded with the man inside C-3PO.

Besides the actual cast and crew of the Star Wars movies, including The Phantom Menace, there are interviews here with stars as fans, famous people who love the movies as much as anyone: Sharon Stone, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Magic Johnson, Christina Ricci and William Shatner. A fun and provocative look through uncensored interviews across the spectrum at all that is Star Wars, worthy of any fan's archive, this is a must for any serious collection. --Erik Macki

- A stunning movie for all ages
Everybody can remember the original 1977 Star Wars, and this is it, but made a lot better! For Star Wars' 20th Anniversary, George Lucas has digitally remastered it, changed it and made the sound quality better and made it look a lot more realistic with all the CGI they have added. A great film made greater. I own it, and I think you should buy it. It adds to an already great film collection.

- A New Hope
George Lucas's epic space adventure is still something special even after 26 years. I would rate this as one of the greatest films of all time even after so long. This movie has amazing action scenes and is driven along by a very stong storyline. This film has very good actors including Alec Guiness and Mark Hamill. This is an essential edition to your video collection.

- In a Galaxy far, far way........
Of those of you that were born in the early 70's this was the film that broke the mold and that all other science fiction films were measured against. Imigary that amazed and seemed to defy all logic kept audiences on the edges of their seats and asking questions for months after the initial release.
Our story starts with 2 droids caught on a space cruiser under attack from The Empire....to try and explain the whole film in just a few short words would simply be impossible as the background that is required to give the film it's full justice would simply take too long.
In short the film is adventure, excitement, anticipation and humour. Superficially directed towards the younger audiences the film has several levels that appeal to ... Read More:

- A misleading title.
This is a good value video which does include interviews with the stars, though that only makes up about 10% of the content. Based on the title I had expected much more actual 'star' interviews. It focusses moreso on the influences behind Star Wars and compares it to other movies and franchises. I would have liked to have seen more of the early interviews with Mark, Carrie & Harrison in particular, and possibly even some screen tests. Still, a good rounded approach to the legend that it is Star Wars with both the classic trilogy and the Phantom Menace covered.

Rating:

- A quite interesting insight into the stars of Star Wars
Snippets of interviews with various stars from Star Wars, George Lucas himself, and fans of the films, such as Magic Johnson, Hugh Hefner.

Coverage of Phantom Menace premiere, Special Edition premiere. Most interestingly old interviews with young looking Harrison Ford, Billy Dee Williams & Carrie Fisher. A good value video for fans
