Reception

PC World said At first glance, LucasArts' Star Wars Screen Entertainment looks like a cynical attempt to wring one last quart of Grade A from Lucas's main cash cow. But this inexpensive, disk-based divertissement (it's only $35.95) is a revealing compendium of behind-the-scenes technia and trivia, and will probably be of keen interest to filmmaking fanatics as well as R2D2 diehard. [9]

Macworld said And on that score, this collection of 14 displays based on the Star Wars movies succeeds terrifically. George Lucas junkies will spill adrenaline to see the entire screenplay and storyboards for Star Wars. [10]
