Featured review
If you're a special effects fan, then this documentary is for you!!!
When this special aired on ABC 40 years ago this fall, it not only showed how the effects were made for the best Star Wars movie ever but a history of special effects dating back to the early days of movies. You can see the special online as well as on the 2011 and 2020 blurays of the star wars trilogy. Other docs recommended include The Making of Star Wars from 1977 as well as Classic Creatures from 1983 alongside From Star Wars to Jedi the same year as well as The Beginning for the Phantom Menace from 1999.
