ComicBook.com continued the documentary’s praise:
Between Netflix and the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, the various entries in the Star Wars franchise are scattered across the internet, though the 2004 documentary Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Saga is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The two-and-a-half-hour documentary focuses on the original trilogy of films and features interviews with George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and many more members of the cast and crew. Empire of Dreams was originally released with the debut of the original trilogy on DVD in 2004 and was ultimately edited down to 90 minutes for broadcast on A&E. You can head to Amazon’s website to watch now.
The film is described, “An in-depth making-of documentary about the original Star Wars trilogy, covering the productions of the three films and their impact on popular culture.”
While the debut of a film on a streaming service isn’t always newsworthy when it comes to Star Wars and its complicated home video release strategy, this documentary is one piece of media in the franchise that’s more difficult to track down.
