VH1's When Star Wars Ruled the World

When Star Wars Ruled the World

Quite an impressive interview list if you ask me. This would've been a great Easter Egg on the DVD set:

Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker

Carrie Fisher - Princess Leia

Harrison Ford - Han Solo

Anthony Daniels - C-3P0

Kenny Baker - R2-D2

Peter Mayhew - Chewbacca

Billy Dee Williams - Lando Calrissian

John Williams - Composer

Gary Kurtz - Producer on first two Star Wars movies

Kevin Smith - Director / Superfan

Frank Oz - Yoda

Ming-Na - Superfan

Ken Ralston - Visual Effects

Alan Ladd Jr. - Fmr. President, 20th Century Fox

Irvin Kershner - Director, Empire Strikes Back

Jeremy Bulloch - Boba Fett

Warwick Davis - Wicket the Ewok

Daphne Zuniga - Actress, Spaceballs

Nicole Miyamoto - Superfan

William Miyamoto - Superfan

Mike Schiffbauer - Superfan

Ben Burtt - Sound

Like it ever stopped?

thanks for the heads up. Just went to tivo.com to schedule my tivo. The brilliance of the Home Media Option. Only had it a month or so and I love it. It works perfect when someone gives a heads up like this.

I thought the same thing. I've forgotten more about Star Wars than she'll ever know.

Well, it wouldn't be a VH1 show if there wasn't random celebrity commentary.

Why all the wonderment about Ming-Na? I thought it was pretty obviously put next to her name -- "Superfan".

She can just lie and say she's the one on the left.

I think every network ever has had a Star Wars special now.

I liked during the part on ROTJ when Harrison called the ending "a picnic with dancing teddy bears" and groaned.

Just finished watching it. Pretty good. Nothing earth shattering, but worth a watch. Funny hearing Kevin Smith talk about Han being a pimp and being cock blocked by Threepio.

Absolutely great. Man, this would have been a killer featurette on the upcoming DVD instead of the Battlefront demo.

I wonder how much of that didn't make it to the Empire of Dreams doc. Specifically how much you could see down the slave girl outfit and how they had to tape Carrie down for her running shots in Star Wars.

Best quote: "I was glad it was ending because I didn't know how much more of my masculinity and my dignity I had to give to Star Wars and still hope to get laid"
