The “good cheer” factor is off the dial in this one.Įnjoyment - This is the doc I have watched over and over. Perhaps because the film had been such an unexpected smash, and enthusiasm was so high, the voiceovers are optimistic and fresh. Narrative - As with the other pair, memories, anecdotes, popups and background details are interwoven with the narrative proper.

Movie dialogue clear, voiceovers clear - even from Harrison Ford, with whom I have problems occasionally. As far as layering of visual “extras” this seems to have had more than the other pair.Īudio - 2 Channel AC3. Quality wobbles a bit, though nothing unexpected.

If you can only get one - this is the one. Jam packed with extras, boasting an unbeatable menu design. Can't wait to check out his work on Raiders and Jaws!įinal documentary from Jamie Benning’s Star Wars trilogy is arguably the best. But this is one that I'm eager to return to often. With the other two SW filmumentaries, I'm not sure how often I'll choose to rewatch the film that way. That's the only real criticism I have, that sometimes the alternate scenes are almost identical, and I don't know that I need to watch an exchange two or three times in a row just because a word or two is different.īut generally, this is just a very tight, very smart commentary viewing on a really great film. There is footage I had never seen, or had seen but didn't note. The material here seems pulled from an even greater number of sources, and is truly informative even for a diehard Star Wars fan. You get the idea that sometimes the editor is choosing to give a breather and just let great moments play out, but it never lasts overlong. The issue with long stretches of silence in the other filmumentaries is not present here. But really this whole thing is pretty packed, sometimes with interview comments coming in rapid fire, too many great points about a scene to fit in the time alloted for it. Also, that some parts of the film are just going to have less to say about them.

But it seems a greater effort has been made to clean these up. Firstly, that the A/V sources differ in quality greatly. There are a couple of inescapable truths here. He had already done one for ESB (review here: ) and one for RotJ (review here: ) Basically everything I said in those films is also true here, only this one shows the benefit of 4 more years experience, and is really the best of the bunch by far. Released in 2011, Jambe Davdar came back after 4 years off to release this "filmumentary" on A New Hope, his magnum opus on the Star Wars trilogy.
