Icons Unearthed

release year: 2022
genre: documentary (episodes 1-4 of 6)
viewing setting: airplane 7/21/23

synopsis: This is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Star Wars series.

impressions: This documentary features interviews with some of the people behind the original trilogy - but definitely NOT George Lucas (several people are at times critical of his behavior and directing style.) I've seen a lot of making-of material on this series but I learned something new with these four 45-minute episodes. There are two more than I still need to watch, which cover episodew I-III.

acting: n/a but the interviewees definitely knew their stuff.

final word: Good supplemental Star Wars documentaries.
