Summary:In "Empire of Dreams," a 21/2-hour documentary that includes new interviews with [George Lucas], [Harrison Ford], [Carrie Fisher] and [Mark Hamill], the four talk proudly about making their marks as young whippersnappers with "Star Wars," 1980's "The Empire Strikes During an early interview with Lucas and Brian De Palma, she says the latter "did all the talking because George didn't talk then."
