One of our readers was kind enough to send us a quick summary of the upcoming Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy that will be included with the Holy Trilogy DVD set that will be released on September 21st.
"A friend of mine in Britain had a chance to see Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy.
It will be a two-and-a-half hour documentary by Kevin Burns that will be on the upcoming Star Wars Trilogy DVD, he saw the 90 minute version that will air on A&E in the fall with some semi-spoilers here's his rough review:
Considering its not the full version, it's still amazing- 55 minutes is devoted to 'ANH' ,and about sixteen minutes each on 'EMPIRE' and 'JEDI'. Though there is no real new info on the making of the films, the visual material is STUNNING. The section on 'ANH' alone has some great behind the scenes, out takes, scenes from different camera angles with different acting delivery/pre dubbing, some surprises, and half a deleted scene and a scene extension (a little clue- they both involve back projection!!). There are two very nice surprise guest contributors linked to \'ANH\' too (one persons contribution I really wasn't expecting- after their fall out with Lucas in 1976-7). Though short and sweet, the 'EMPIRE' and 'JEDI' coverage is also great (also with super behind the scenes stuff) but obviously the extra hour on the DVD will cover them. It really is worth the wait. I'm not saying anymore- I don't want to spoil it ...."
Looks like we may see bits of deleted scenes in amongst the featurettes.
Special thanks to Chris Baker!
