We all know Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, but did you ever spare a thought for some of the more minor actors in the original Star Wars film?
The documentary Elstree 1976 from director Jon Spira chronicles how the likes of Paul Blake, who played Greedo (and he didn’t shoot first), David Prowse, who was the man in the Darth Vader suit, and more came to be involved with Star Wars and how it impacted their lives.
If you enjoy the pretty heartwarming trailer below, then you can buy Elstree 1976 on here. You can also catch it on the big screen at London’s Prince Charles Cinema on Sunday November 6th.
