EPIC Star Wars (behind-the-scenes) ANH

This is a movie from 1976 and such.  It is the BEHIND the SCENES of making ANH back when it was known as Star Wars. 

What makes it epic?

It names names - like showing you who all these FX folks are.
It shows kit bashing in progress.  As Neo may say, "Whoah."
It shows the Death Star surface being cast.

Here you have it!
