Fan CastingA Force Strong With Them

The period drama and turbulence of the times are on display Shakespeare In Love, For All Mankind and Homer's Odyssey meet and coalesce to craft the story that was just as epic as the film that it produced in an unfiltered manner - the story of a boy, a girl and a universe. In 1973 and with the release of American Graffiti nearing, young filmmaker George Lucas and his producer Gary Kurtz discuss plans for a little galactic fairy tale called The Star Wars which would later be his Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Through archive footage and recreated scenes, we can see and reflect on early stages of the story (with some paths never taken) as well as the time from the first treatment in 1973, the first script in 1974, casting in 1975, filming and visual effects in 1976 to the release on May 25th, 1977.
