What does a chaotic asteroid field look like on paper? How was the most stunning revelation in the Star Wars saga presented to the cast and crew? Find out in a bonus commentary available only at dvd.starwars.com.
Thanks to software from Interactual, the power of DVD and the Internet are combined to provide viewers with a text-based commentary for their Episode V DVD. If you have a PC DVD-ROM with web access, visit dvd.starwars.com to watch The Empire Strikes Back while reading a version of the shooting script of the film, written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan from the story by George Lucas.
The screenplay has been edited for sequence, so that it properly aligns with your DVD, but the original dialogue and descriptions remain. You'll discover what lines or characters underwent changes, what stand-in dialogue was provided for the character of
Chewbacca for the performance of certain scenes, or how something as visually dynamic as the Battle of
Hoth was first described. Some of the text is lengthy, so be ready with the pause button to take it all in.
Continue to expand the content of your Star Wars Trilogy DVD set. In the coming months, the Script to Screen commentary for Return of the Jedi will be posted, as well as the popular trivia-laden Depth Commentaries. For those with Episodes I and II on DVD, the Script to Screen and Depth Commentaries are also currently online.
