The Special Effects Behind the Empire Strikes Back

“Now outdated, the special effects behind this classic are still inspiring even when presented by Mark Hamill for a 3rd grade audience. I think I may have seen this on TV as a kid. Back then it was like a glimpse into the future, now it seems more like a gaze into the past. It’s 48 minutes long but full of anecdotal entertainment, not to mention a good measure of nostalgia.”

“Stop-motion is probably the worst, most painful way to make a film. It’s a completely awful process to engage in, an anachronism. But the stories have a warmth and a charm. You’re not looking at ones and zeros. You’re looking at the hands of the artists who made it.”
