Saga The Hero's Journey and the Shadows' Journey: Behind the Scenes of the Trilogy by SF Debris

Initially I made this thread at the classic trilogy forum, but I think it's fitting for this forum too, maybe it can spread the subject for more people:​

​

I'm creating this thread to share with you an excellent series of videos made by SF Debris about the creation of the original trilogy. I was very surprised and pleased by the sheer amount of detail and behind the scenes informations assembled in these videos. First I researched and didn't find any topic about them.​

​

We all already know about the difficulties to the realization of Lucas' dream, his mythic hero's journey, especially for the first film. But there are many things not told in the official history and documentaries. ​

I didn't read yet the J.W Rinzler official books nor Michael Kaminski's (probably they were sources for these videos), but I watched nearly all documentaries available about Star Wars and I can say that these series truly surprised me with stories and facts that yet I've never heard, and have many production photos I've never seen before. It was a truly journey and it was a blast, I strongly recommend it to all fans here. ​

​

Each series has about 2h each. The first one, Hero's Journey, covers the very beggining of Lucas career to the phenomenal success of the original Star Wars. The Shadow's Journey continues from there, and depicts the behind the scenes and troubles in the making of the rest of the trilogy and Lucas' own empire.​

I hope you can enjoy them as I did and we can talk more about it, it's a story that deserves to be told, remembered and discussed.​

 

Sorry to the mods. I ask again to delete this thread too, just now I realized I could chance the banners, I think it's better to let it under the BTS category.

In doing so you seem to have erased my reply, can you please retrieve it and put it here. Thanx.

 

Updating the thread with the continuation of the story, the first part of the Hermit's Journey: https://www.sfdebris.com/videos/special/hermitsjourney.php

 

I have watched the first two series and enjoyed them quite a bit.
There were a few thing that I didn't know about.

And thus far, I find the series is fairly balanced, it doesn't try to take a side, that the OT is great, the PT sucks, Lucas is this or that.
This is no Red Letter Media.

In all, strongly recommended.

Bye for now.
