The Galaxy Britain Built

'The Galaxy Britain Built' celebrates the British contribution to the original Star Wars.
Presenter and Star Wars fan, David Whiteley, uncovers some never before heard stories from the geniuses that helped build the galaxy... from the Costume Designer, Art Director and the man who made the lightsaber, and even the filming at Elstree studios. It was a time when science fiction had no box office and very few people in the industry believed in George Lucas's space movie but his first Star Wars ended up being a very British endeavour.
The programme documents the behind-the-scenes talent that helped bring the galaxy to life in the late 1970s. It also looks at how the British talent continues to be part of the Star Wars legacy to the present day.
