[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 430748, member: 6563"] Think there's a thread on here about this from a month or two ago, but this has saved me digging it up :) Just watched this tonight having got it for Christmas. Absolutely brilliant set of interviews. A nice change from hearing from the A-listers. I did find it a little melancholy, though. Not sure if it was the fact that some like John Chapman had negative experiences on the circuit or the slightly sneering attitude that a couple of the other took to the extras. But I don't think that was it. Perhaps it was the fact that the majority of the folk were just......ordinary folk. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It really made it quite fascinating that they really were such regular people who stumbled into SW. But there's something I just can't put my finger on. Is it a case of knowing a little bit more of what happened behind the scenes making the film itself just a little bit less magical? Or perhaps that the general feeling whilst filming was that it was just another job for a few days or weeks? Of course they couldn't be blamed for that; we have the benefit of hindsight at just was an immortal trilogy it is; at the time (As stated in the film) Sci-Fi was strictly B-movie and worse. I certainly felt down everytime Leia appeared in a shot. Regardless, a brilliant watch and fascinating to hear from folk who had blink and you'll miss them parts up to the Prowse/Bulloch level of actors. Would love to see more interviews of the same ilk.
