Michel Parbot Empire Strikes Back lost documentary

Unfortunately, it looks like the copyright holder made them mute the audio track on this.

But this is exactly the sort of thing they need to add to the extras on the next blu-ray release of ESB (ideally, they'll do a feature-packed collector's edition that includes the original pre-SE edit as well as things like this old making-of film.)

 

Here's most of it with sound..

 

Here's an interesting BBC Doc as well a Month before Empire premiered ...Star wars stuff is a little parse , but interesting non the less

 

A 58 minute has surfaced on the net!
Amazing!!

Incredible never seen footage from Empire filming.
So interesting and amazing presence and words from Irvin Kershner giving a masterclass of how directing a movie with his vision and passion.
Curious the no presence of Lucas during most of the filming parts and the continuous collaboration and involvement of Gary Kurtz on the set. What a producer! (nothing like modern paycheck producers I think)

This is gold.

PD. I've always wanted that blue coat...

 

If anybody finds this documentary, please inform me. I've seen most of the documentaries based on Star Wars and this would be a fine addition to my collection.
