As a long time fan of the Star Wars films and universe, one who is eagerly looking forward to the forthcoming new chapters in the space saga, I decided to pay tribute to the directors, cast, and the VFX of the Star Wars films of my childhood in the form of a behind-the-scenes pictorial montage.
The montage consists primarily of photographs taken on the sets of the various Star Wars films. It also includes dialogue from scenes in the actual films or interviews of the actors. As you will see throughout the tribute, there is a clear focus on the original trilogy. This came about in part as a result of my preferences for those films, but it was also due in larger part because those films simply had the most engaging and candid behind the scenes photographs of the cast and crew.
The montage is set to Dare to Dream Big, which is a wonderful musical composition courtesy of The Secession. You can listen to and purchase The Secession Studios' music here:

I hope you enjoy the video, and thanks so much for watching. May the force be with you...always!
