Panel Overview
See it for the first time! On September 22nd, 1980 on Fox television, Americans could view a documentary named “SPFX: The Empire Strikes Back,” dedicated to the special effects of The Empire Strikes Back. One of the credited cameramen, a famous French journalist and war correspondent named Michel Parbot worked on a similar one-hour documentary that was aired on French TV in several parts. This documentary, lost for decades but heavily sought by serious video collectors, has been found by fans, restored, and enhanced to be presented for the first time, in one session at Star Wars Celebration Europe.
