Star Wars will be back on the big screen soon when The Phantom Menace hits theaters in 3-D on Feb. 10, and the occasion has got Lucas reminiscing about the original trilogy, and the movie that started it all: Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope.
As Lucas says...“I didn’t expect the film to be successful at all. I don’t think anybody did”....“The first film was really hard,” says Lucas. “It was painful. It was unpleasant. We never had enough time or enough money, and we were always compromising on everything, and it was a difficult experience all the way around.”
Entertainment Weekly has a video from Lucas on the struggles of making his landmark film.
