Lucas was so convinced it would flop that he skipped the premiere and went on holiday. It became the highest-grossing film ever made. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story, building to the assault on the Death Star.
We dig into the crew behind the film — Lucas's screenplay, John Williams's era-defining score, and the founding of ILM and its groundbreaking effects — before breaking down the finale, the record-shattering reception, and the cultural earthquake that followed. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.
For how it all begins on Tatooine — Lucas, the cast, the first half — head to Part 1.
