This show knows nothing about the person George Lucas. The totally fake “Interview” in the first episode if chock full of things George would never say like “it was mine, now it’s yours”. No, he literally said that his stories are his life, everything he’s writing is about his life, and he has to get extremely close and personal with it and it’s like a marriage. He doesn’t care what fans want, he’s the storyteller.

I listened to this podcast a couple years ago and now that I want to listen to it again, it's a subscription model?? No way. I'm out. Sad to see a great show locked up.

I love it but it has bad words and my mom doesn’t want me to hear bad words.

I have been so impressed by all the podcasts done. From Jaws, to Psycho and Star Wars. I feel taken to a story. I listen to them in the car, while relaxing and it puts a smile on my face. Background sounds during the telling of the story puts you right in it. Please keep this up with more movies! Thank you!

I love this podcast I love Star Wars and I was looking for a good show to listen to and I came across this one and I loved it and it almost unbelievable how awesome this is and I thought it was so cool that you got to talk TO George Lucas. I thought it was also super funny when they told us that the droids would malfunction and go on to other sets. And how Kenny and Anthony would fight And the things they would say like “My favourite thing about being a droid with you is I can’t hear or see you!”

You do realize that Mark Hamill said the Robert England rumor was made up so you’re def not making a fan of Mark Hamill with this.

Mark does a great jobAdd tying all of the great incidence both onset and offset with the Star Wars universe and the actors & Crew involved including Lucas.

The content is great but Mark Ramsay’s “acting” is really smarmy and annoying.

Please make more Inside Movies…so many great films out there! Always interesting and entertaining!

NEEDS MORE VOICE ACTORS not just one guy doing all the voices. It also states it's a"deep dive". It's more like selected snipets. I think this guy also does the Inside Jaws series.

I have loved Star Wars since seeing it in the theater at age seven. Thank you for making this podcast. I loved it!

A fun interpretation of the history of George Lucas’ life leading up to the production of Star Wars. Agreeing with other reviewers, the podcaster’s voicing all parts does more to detract from the story than support it. Also, some of the interpretations are surface-y but highly produced moments, which makes for disjointed storytelling.

Really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Great production value and great insight.

The sloppy idiots synopsize this incorrectly stating "made on a shoestring" and "dumped into a handful of theaters." That's totally misleading! It wasn't a shoestring budget or dumped into a handful of theaters (for the time!) and the word dumped infers the studio didn't treat it properly. So if they screw up so bad from the getgo, you know the stupid nerds are going to waste your time and likely exasperate with misinformation and mistakes!

Made me see the good in Star Wars.

This was like listening to a radio dramatization and very entertaining! The conversations are mostly imagined but knowing that did not diminish the stories that were told. Thank you - very well done!

I love it, one question though:did you actually interview one George Lucas? He sounds a bit like you, good sir.

There were several moments throughout this series where I found myself choking up in complete wonder and awe. As a filmmaker, this inspired me tremendously, and as an audience member I was completely transported into the imagination of someone who really made his dreams come true. Loved it. Fantastic production.

Not a die hard Star Wars fan but thoroughly enjoyed this podcast.

I binged to all at once and I recommend it. One criticism is the narrator does all the voices, I’d rather hear a female to the female voices but I get what he’s doing. Good job!

As a Star Wars fan from long back, this podcast managed to give me info even I didn't know. It made me excited to track down other podcasts of the same ilk.

Is awesome! Great to listen to. I love Star Wars and this is the best way to hear the creation of it!!!

The force is strong with this one. .

The voices and sound effects tell a story that seems well researched, and is definitely captivating. Certainly brings lives and turning points the breath of life.

This podcast is amazing. Any complaint by reviewers is because they are weird and picky.

I like how it says hell randomly

I’ve been listening to this podcast in my daily runs and it’s been a delightful! I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan and Mark treats the franchise with a tremendous amount of dignity. Each episode has been insight and interesting. There’s no sensationalism but there is creative license...which is done very well. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening. Mark, the end of episode 7 made me stop running and wipe away tears of sentiment and memory. Thank you!

Would be 5 stars but every few moments another ads....

The podcast is good, but the narrator plays all of the roles, and it doesn’t include sounds or music from the original. Other than that, it’s a very good and informative podcast.

I love the story I love the presentation. This podcast is very entertaining. However, whoever did the voice acting it is driving me insane. Everyone is a bumbling timid moron who repeats the first word of every sentence. Do you, do you, I’m thinking, I’m thinking, I want you, I want you, well, well and on and on and on.

This podcast is amazing. I can’t stop listening to it just makes me happy hearing it builds a greater love for all the hard work that was the original series thank you so much.

I’m a young student looking to go into film, and a long time star wars fan since my dad showed it to me as a young girl. There was a two part reaction to this podcast series: on one hand, I was let down in several episodes by the sad life choices my favorite actors had made, not knowing how corrupt it could be on set and off. And yet, I still love them. Because we are all human. Of course, these character flaws aren’t a product of the podcast, just something brought to light. The podcast in itself was beautifully done. Told in an easy to follow story format, with lovely quotes, gorgeous sound affects, and interesting facts and tidbits. I must admit I cried while listening to the trials and tribulations of the film making process (and quietly sobbed when we had to say goodbye to carrie fisher once more). I love the honesty and clarity throughout this work, and I will definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about the rags to riches story of the most beautiful space opera in the galaxy.

This was such a great podcast. I’ve actually only watched the first three (original) Star Wars movies, but I think I’ll go watch them all after this Such an unique opportunity to hear about George Lucas’ life - and all the struggles and naysayers that he dealt with in trying to get this movie in theaters. The whole story was so interesting, but especially the part about finding all the sounds for the movie. So interesting! I have great respect for Lucas.

Informative and entertaining

Like others have said the biggest problem with this podcast is the narrator assuming the roles of actual living actors and of George Lucas himself. It is definitely cringe inducing to hear a bad impression of George Lucas. Otherwise there are some details and facts about the original Star Wars that even fanatics will find interesting and novel. It’s worth a listen but without access to the actual actors or any soundbites/clips from the actual movies this podcast has a very amateurish feel.

Entertaining and fun except the voice acting needs to step it up. I wince so hard when I hear this guy’s overly exaggerated stammering voice he uses for every single character even Carrie Fisher!

I really enjoyed this series! The story telling was superb! It was a blast to go back in time and get the inside scoop! I didn’t want it to end.

A film of this magnitude deserves a better production. Comes across as very low budget. The narrator assumes all of the character roles - even, uh, Princess Leia? Hard to take seriously. No interviews with any actual actors or other essential players?! Lame attempt to channel Lucas. Lots of cliches and forgettable dialogue. No actual clips used! Only passing reference to the immense contribution of John Williams - and his music is replaced by inferior replacement soundtrack. Licensing right I suppose. Had higher hopes. Sorry.

I am huge Star Wars fan and really enjoyed listening to this Podcast! I learned so many new fun things about the behind the scenes on set and mainly about George Lucas and how his life brought him to the point of making Star Wars. I also cried when he was speaking about Carrie Fisher and how she is always with us in the little girls, moms, etc. I was so sad when he passed away suddenly. I always loved pretending I was Princess Leia when I was a little girl. Great job! Sharon

Enjoyed this podcast! 42 year fan. Didn’t think I’d ever hear anything I’d never heard before, surprised every episode!

In a world full of podcast that are 1/2 information and 1/2 the hosts talking about themselves. This cast and the other Wonderly’s I’ve listened to are great.

This was wonderful! The amount of thought, heart and hard work that was poured into this is clear from the first episode. Thank you for this series!

If somehow you like this, go listen to “Blockbuster.” I guarantee you’ll be blown away... possible tears.

I didn't care about the characters. I had already listened to "Blockbuster" when this came out though, which had an actual cast and was a much more personal story. I know some people don't like the narrative presentation, but that's not really my issue wth "Inside Star Wars." My issue was this was boring. Neither podcast series is 100% accurate, but "Blockbuster" felt like a movie you actually get invested in. "Inside Star Wars" on the other hand felt a little halfassed and missing a soul.

Outstanding!!! Loved it!! How could it get anything less than 5 stars!!??!!

I started listening today, and I’m already done with it! I felt like I was listening to the audio of a movie. That’s how amazing all of the descriptions are! They should do a sequel called “Inside the Empire Strikes Back!”

One of the best podcasts that I have ever listened to! I truly feel as if I am Lucas himself sitting in front of his radio as a child - before TV was standard in every home. I will now be listening to all of the other "Inside" podcasts, and I know that there is no intention of doing an Inside Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi (and the prequels!), but I beg and plead for those to be made! Beyond saying this is a must listen for Star Wars' fans, this is a must listen for lovers of radio/podcasts - period. Thank you for this, and I beg of you to do all the other Star Wars' films!

I was listening to REBEL FORCE RADIO. And you were on talking about this podcast. This was a great listen. I had chills. Almost cried a couple of times. It wonderful really captures the feeling of that time period.

Really enjoyed the depth of this podcast!

Absolutely awesome
