i really enjoyed 'the empire of dreams'. the SE trilogy should have included several more documentaries and bonus material though. in fact the SE edition DVD should have been the original theatrical releases. then i'd be happy even without bonus material!

Poodoo - Huttese for excrement (The Phantom Menace). Oddly, this term also translates from Huttese to Basic as "fodder," as in "You might have been a good smuggler, but now you're just Bantha fodder!" (Return of the Jedi).

Yes, very well done, though turned out to be much longer than I expected and had to be watched over the course of a few days. 
The only thing I wish that OT DVDs had were deleted scenes. That's one of the main reasons I prefer DVDs, to be honest.

Most of the auditions are pretty atrocious. In the full version, there's this real laid back guy auditioning for Han while puffing on a cigar. It's hilarious! But I thought Kurt Russell was pretty good, though a little too young for Han. William Katt was also good and would have made a good Luke. But Carrie Fisher was definitely the clear winner for Leia. None of the other girls could even come close to her audition.

Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were perfect in their auditions.
It is a very long documentary, but worth watching at least once.

Well, I'm a movie freak, so I've scene lots of film documentaries. Empire of Dreams was the best one I've ever seen. Not just because it was about my favoirte movies, and had my favorite actor giving sevreal interviews, and auditioning for my favorite charcter ever, but it was very well done. I expected to be good, and it surpassed my expectations. I love the audition tapes. When you see Harrison Ford when he was fedding lines in the auditions, he pretty much is Han Solo.
