Star Wars documentary is epic

For the last year or so I've been becoming increasingly more interested in film as an art form and using it for story telling. And since i've become more interested in film, whenever I watch a movie on dvd i usually go to the special features and watch the making of that particular movie (wether it be bad or good so I can know how not to make a movie and certain things that can improve a movie). This weekend was my first weekend of summer vacation so to celebrate I decided to watch the original Star Wars Trilogy. And after I finished watching it I followed suit and watched the special features (which turned out to be a full out documentary).
I would highly reccomend anyone interested in film to watch the making of Star Wars documentary. I learned alot about George Lucas that I never even knew before. For example, I had no idea that he was actually an independent movie maker and that Episode five and six of star wars were both fully financed by himself. And by the time the first trilogy was completed, George Lucas had started like five major film making businesses.
