Does George Lucas make a commentary-track statement that makes it sound like hes glad to be rid of Star Wars, as he did on the THX DVD?
Well, he closes the Sith commentary with the following: “This … started out as one simple little movie that would take me maybe two years to make, and then I’d go on to other things and it turned out to be 20 years of my life. And it was a real challenge to make, and it started to define my life which is not where I expected to be. But I’m happy to have gone on this ride and met the challenges the film presented to me. And I’m happy with the way it turned out. I’m happy with all the episodes. I’m happy with the overall story. And I’m very relieved that I made it to the end, to the finish line, and the world is still here to see it.” How politic. Anyway. Disc Two is loaded to the gills though it’s probably slighter than previous prequel sets, and a smidge less enthusiastic. Under the “Documentary and Featurettes” menu is a pretty great centerpiece doc, “Within a Minute: The Making of Episode III.” Producer/director Tippy Bushkin’s 1:18:26 feature while not even remotely in the league
