I remember it being a big deal when Star Wars finally came to TV. I don’t understand why, but my kids laugh when I tell them for the big event we hauled my aunt’s large TV across the lawn (she lived next door) over to our house just so we could watch it in color instead of on the 15” BW that we had. We also made popcorn.

For years, "Star Wars" was one of the "big movies" that wasn't available on home video. The documentary "The Making of Star Wars," on the other hand, was released on VHS (and Betamax?) very early on, and I recall as being prominently displayed in seemingly every video rental store.

Ironically, "The Making of Star Wars" doesn't currently appear to be available for streaming on any of the services, at least according to JustWatch.com.
