Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy

Star Wars meets making-of archaeology. This documentary tracks the trilogy’s journey from scribbled notes and rejected pitches to global phenomenon, spotlighting the crew, crises, and craft behind the scenes. A time capsule of 1970s–80s practical filmmaking grit, carried by unseen footage and the quiet hands who built a galaxy.
