Very much like Adywan’s fan edit of Star Wars, Jambe Davdar’s excellent Building Empire documentary wowed many upon it’s release several years ago. After a long wait ‘Star Wars Begins’ is finally finished!
Inspired by a love of the film ‘Star Wars’ and the idea that audio commentaries could be expanded, Jambe Davdar set out to make what he calls “the ultimate audio/visual commentary”. He started the project in February 2007 and finished, three years later, in late January 2011. It was initially released to in late Jan 2011 those who contributed to the project and finally to everyone else in Feb 2010.
Star Wars Begins is an unofficial commentary to Star Wars, offering an insight into the development and creation of film. The documentary combines video from the movie itself with seen and unseen behind the scenes footage, rare audio from the cast and crew, alternate angles, bloopers, reconstructed scenes, text facts and more to give an in-depth look at the process which brought the film to the big screen.
As to it’s availability, you’ll just have to hunt and search for now…
Still some time to bid for what must be the ultimate Stormtrooper helmet…
This helmet has been signed by the following…
George Lucas
Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker
Carrie Fisher - Princess Leia
Harrison Ford - Han Solo
Billy Dee Williams - Lando Calrissian
David Prowse - Darth Vader
James Earl Jones - Voice of Darth Vader
Anthony Daniels - C-3PO
Kenny Baker - R2-D2
Peter Mayhew - Chewbacca
Jeremy Bulloch - Boba Fett
Frank Oz - Puppeteer/Voice of Yoda
Warwick Davis - Wicket (Ewok)
Gary Kurtz - Producer: Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
John Williams - Compose/Conductor
Lawrence Kasdan - Writer: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Irvin Kershner - Director: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

A sprightly 87 years old, I guess the famed Empire Strikes back director had a good run, but sadly he passed away in Los Angeles earlier today.
George Lucas writes:
“The world has lost a great director and one of the most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing,” says Lucas. “Irvin Kershner was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. When I think of Kersh, I think of his warmth, his thoughtfulness and his talent. I knew him from USC — I attended his lectures and he was actually on the festival panel that gave the prize to my THX short. I considered him a mentor.“Following Star Wars, I knew one thing for sure: I didn’t want to direct the second movie myself. I needed someone I could trust, someone I really admired and whose work had maturity and humor. That was Kersh all over. I didn’t want Empire to turn into just another sequel, another episode in a series of space adventures. I was trying to build something, and I knew Kersh was the guy to help me do it. He brought so much to the table. I am truly grateful to him.
“He was a friend as well as a colleague. He will be missed.”
A stunning director at the best of times, but just reading the Making of Empire Strikes Back and his work around the carbon freezing chamber, especially with Han and Leia.
If I could say anything it would be ‘We loved you man’…but then he probably knew. 8D
Such talent! Stunning stuff by jerodgibson who is selling the print on just about everything.
I practically live Star Wars like many of you, and so this piece by the official site is just.plain.flipping.odd….
We can only conclude this is to quell some issue, or set the record straight for someone. Either way, actor Dave Prowse gets a boot in the ass and reminded who really is in charge of the empire. Again.
If it even really was him. Let’s remember the press could have made this up, got it from a different source or just blamed it on him. You can bet they never got media training, and he could have been plain excited to talk about the film.
Alternatively Dave Prowse could have just screwed up, and that’s that. It’s done and dusted. So why after all these years keep the resentment going, banning him at CV, and now this odd positioning statement?
Enough is enough, fans could care less about this willy waving contest. We all know after 30 years that Darth was Luke’s father, so can we let it go? Just let fans that want to see the green cross code man at conventions have his last few years with some dignity. Even if he is ‘Dark Lord of the ‘forgot to shut his mouth’, don’t these films tell us hate and anger are the dark side?
What’s your thoughts? Bogus article? Should Dave be in the detention block? Is Lucas not letting go?

Greedo was played by three people due to the shooting schedule of A New Hope. When Greedo is with Han Solo, these shots were filmed in England with Harrison Ford and Paul Blake as Greedo. However various shots and tests in the US were done by Maria De Aragon (hence the heels!)
Add to this there were five actors who kinda played Vader and you can see the complexity of film making!
Brilliant. I liked… (no pun intended but neat fit!)
Soon all Ewoks want to poke him8D
