Elstree 1976: Special Director's Edition

In 1976, during the hottest summer on record, "Star Wars" was shot in suburban North London. Nobody involved had any idea how big the film would become and many couldn't even remember the title. Yet, for the extras and actors in smaller roles, their faces hidden in masks and helmets, this seemingly insignificant job would go on to color their lives four decades later. "Elstree 1976" is a portrait of a cross-section of these people; from the man inside the most iconic villain in film history to the guy whose character was completely cut from the final film. It tells the stories of their lives and explores the eccentric community they have formed while traveling the world and signing autographs for fans. This Special Director's Edition DVD comes with surround sound, trailer and exlusive bonus features including extended interviews, a tour of the "Star Wars" sound stage at Elstree Studios, and audio commentary by director Jon Spira. DVD also comes with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired.
