The Secrets of 'Star Wars'

[Yog]

I browsed tomshardware the other day, and came across this little gem.

How did it all start? How hard was it to make Star Wars? Why was Fox and other studios sceptical of the movie? Why did it only open on a few screens back in 1977. How were the special effects created? When did Lucas realise they had a hit? These and other questions are answered in this article. Enjoy!

Pretty cool article, I remember hearing some of that from the documentary, Empire of Dreams especially the special effects, the editing of the movie, and the things Alan Ladd Jr said.
