Icons Unearthed: Star Wars “digs up the real story of how the legendary films were made. Filmed everywhere from Tunisia to England, Canada to Italy, and all 50 states, this series features a treasure trove of incredible information, including Marcia Lucas’s first-ever on-camera interview.”

With that sales copy, I had to see this. Originally airing on Vice and now available from Mill Creek, this six-part series takes you through the original films and the prequels while telling you all about the lives of the people who made them, including George Lucas, who may not be part of it, yet his spirit looms over it all.

Directed by Brian Volk-Weiss (who has directed plenty of comedy specials), this goes deep into everything you’d ever need to know about the Star Wars saga. You hear from Richard Edlund, John Dykstra, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams and the aforementioned Marcia Lucas, who adds so much behind how the movies were made and edited.

If you want to go beyond the stars of the film — while some are in this — and hear about how the films were shot and edited, as well as the unvarnished moments of special effects and how they came to life, this is the documentary for you. I really got into it, rewatching several of the episodes as they were so rich with info. The Mill Creek set also has uncut interviews with Marcia Lucas, Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams. It’s even balanced when discussing the prequels, reminding so many of us that people who saw them at the age we saw Star Wars may have their own reasons for loving them more than we do.

You can get this Mill Creek Blu-ray release from Deep Discount.
