1. I don't watch TV, is that television show?

By the name it sounds like 90210, but set on Nabu.

2. Yes, it's a documentary about the making

of Star Wars. I think it's the same doc that is included in the Trilogy Box Set.

3. It's the documentary about the making of Star Wars movies. If you get the

DVD set of the original trilogy, it's on there. Really excellent.

Has all kinds of great stuff like the Kurt Russell and Cindy Williams screen tests for Han Solo and Leia.

You definitely get a sense that no one but Lucas, including the stars, had any clue that the first movie was going to be anything other than a crappy "Buck Rogers" B movie, until the thing was edited together, John Williams soundtrack and everything.

Very instructive and interesting.

Too bad (IMO) that Lucas became such a hack in recent years. He's still the man though. I'll probably never create anything remotely as cool as Star Wars in a dozen lifetimes.
