Hi all,
BITD I had a magazine about the Making of Star Wars that I would like to track down. I can't remember the exact title, but there are some things I can remember about it. Can anyone help me to identify it?
- Purchased in the UK shortly after the first Star Wars film and before the Empire Strikes Back, so I guess circa 1979
- It was about the Making of Star Wars
- It had information about the inspiration for the story and characters. I specifically remember it compared R2D2 and C3PO to Laurel and Hardy, and Luke and Leia's swing across the Death Star chasm to Errol Flynn. Metropolis was an inspiration for android robots. Japanese swordfighting for Darth Vader's outfit and the lightsabre duels.
- At the end, it had a section on androids and how they would become a part of our society and do our domestic chores. It had a picture of a robot with arms and a spherical head which was doing the vacuuming.
(I'm pretty sure these memories were all of the same magazine, though it's possible I am confusing more than one publication).
Does anyone recognise the publication I am describing?
Thanks!
