During an era when movies were mostly about disasters and dystopian societies, a movie about a space adventure became a big hit. Through interviews with cast and crew we learn how the idea for Star Wars came about and the challenges in making of the original trilogy.

Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy is a 2004 documentary film directed by Kevin Burns and narrated by Robert Clotworthy.

The two and a half hour long documentary was made for the bonus disc of the DVD boxset of the Star Wars Trilogy, released in September 2004. A shortened version of the documentary premiered on the A&E Network later that fall. The TV version ran at around ninety minutes, cutting out nearly an hour of content.

The documentary is strictly chronological, divided into five parts, from the beginning of George Lucas’ career as a filmmaker, to the making of the three original Star Wars films, to the impact Star Wars has made on the world today. It features interviews with George Lucas and major cast and crewmembers. The documentary puts Star Wars into a sociological and political perspective by using interviews with spectators such as Walter Cronkite.

The film was shot in 1.78:1 aspect ratio.
