The guys at ILM were working against the clock, and in the Behind the Scenes materials on the DVD collection for the original trilogy, it is amazing to hear how much doubt there was about this film. The cast and crew sort of thought it was going to be a flop, George Lucas wasn't happy with the FX, the studio was breathing down their necks... It's inspirational to me to see that they persevered and came up with one of the most appreciated films ever made. I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

I love reading about the behind the scenes stuff for one of the all time great movie series, the info about the artists, techniques -the modular approach to the complex surfaces 'seems' obvious now, but for a new guy like me this sparks the neurons in new and exciting ways. Thanks for this incredible glimpse into the collective grey matter and genius that brought this movie to life. This article is fascinating on so many levels.
