Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé comment ils ont réussi à faire un film comme Star Wars ? Eh bien, le duo de droïdes C-3PO et R2-D2 organise cette visite de l'esprit du créateur George Lucas et de ce qui l'a inspiré pour faire le film. Même les acteurs et l'équipe sont interviewés, et on y trouve même des scènes où C-3PO, R2-D2 et Dark Vador ont planté leurs empreintes (ou dans le cas de R2, des empreintes de pas) dans du ciment. Il est également question de la manie de Star Wars, de la façon dont les fans ont aimé le film, ont collectionné la marchandise et ont dansé la musique disco. On montre aussi les coulisses du film, ainsi que la difficulté de chaque effet, car ils n'avaient pas la commodité de l'animation par ordinateur à l'époque.
