THE CANTINA COMPENDIUM (2024, complete video documentary)

 

What did you do on your summer vacation? Well, I produced a three-and-a-half hour long, thirteen-part video documentary series, all by myself!

Sample thumbnail!

This documentary brings to life my book (found on this very blog for free download by the way), which covers the ten chapters in thirteen videos.  It's a comprehensive study that collects every scrap of information about the original Mos Eisley Cantina from the first Star Wars film (later called "A New Hope" of course).

Sample Chapter 8 thumbnail!

Every nuance is examined, including the writing of the scene and changes over the various drafts, the teams that created the masks, filming the Cantina, and A to Z encyclopedic looks at every single alien and customer.  After that, there is a chapter on Cantina playsets over the years, the dreaded Star Wars Holiday Special, and a look at the Cantina's appearances in other vintage media.  

And here is what the thumbnail for Chapter 10 looks like!

You are sure to learn something, and if you are remotely interested in the subject, you should check it out! The documentary is available in Chapters (that follow the chapters of the original book), as well as one video altogether, for those with plenty of time!

People ask me what I learned from this months-long endeavor, and the answer is:  this works so much better as a documentary.  Here is a link to the playlist. Enjoy!
