The story of the making of the Star Wars trilogy is as epic and dramatic as the films themselves. Go behind the scenes and experience the journey from the earliest versions of the script to the blockbuster debut of the films that forever changed the face of cinema. In Empire of Dreams, the most comprehensive documentary ever created on the making of the movies, explore the creation of Star Wars, including the trials George Lucas and his team underwent to create a saga few thought could ever be made. Three new featurettes explore in depth the unique contributions of the Star Wars films - from the classic characters to the unforgettable lightsaber to the films' impact on a generation of filmmakers. These documentaries feature all-new interviews and rare, never-before-seen footage from the making of all three films. Classic theatrical trailers, TV spots, upcoming game demos and previews, rare stills culled from the Lucasfilm Archives - and more - make this bonus disc the ultimate chronicle of the making of the Star Wars trilogy.
