In May 1973 he wrote a 14-page story for a total of six films. Because the story takes place in space, it was mainly seen as a science fiction story. This genre was at that time not really popular, so being many film makers Lucas ' idea. It was 20th Century Fox which eventually agreed.

While writing the scenario initially devised scenarios and characters changed drastically. Luke Skywalker was originally a General of middle age, and Han Solo was in the original scenario no man but a green humanoid alien.

There were not many not yet famous actors who did. Only Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Peter Cushing as He.Filming began on March 22, 1976 in the Tunisian desert for the scenes on Tatooine. For the scenes for the moisture farm where Luke lives, it was filmed in Matmata. The project had several problems, and Lucas had been after a week behind schedule. Especially the props often refused service. After filming in Tunisia was ready, they left to the Elstree Studios in England for the rest of the movie. It was also in the Tikal Mayanruins in Mexico for the filmed scenes for Yavin IV.

This went so far that in the long term, doctors had to advise him to reduce his stress .The film was scheduled for Christmas 1976, but only by the delays the film came in the summer of 1977.

 * During the shooting of the film there was a scene planned between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo. It was a dummy-actor Harrison Ford used, so someone had to be able to play against, after which the actor later with the computer would be replaced by eventual Jabba. <sup class="noprint nopopups" len="312" style="line-height:1;">[source? ] By time constraints and the not-too-distant technical developments by then, however, refrained from this scene to mount so in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Jabba made a grand entrance for the first time to the general public. In 1997, when the special edition was released on video, was the scene for the first time added to the film and was replaced by a computer-animated Jabba the dummy actor, who later was reprocessed in 2004 something more sophisticated.
 * In the same scene with Jabba and Han was still a change made. At the end of the scene was the bounty hunter Boba Fett with the computer in the scene added. Because Boba in the original cinema versions only in The Empire Strikes Back in 1997 was also occurred with the computer in the scene. This is partly because Boba Fett in the Star Warsuniversum the best bounty hunter and it would be weird if he is not in the scene would sit, where, together with other bounty hunters and Jabba himself, at the Millenium Falcon to Han Solo's ship Han are looking for.
 * Where a change has been much to do at the time of the Special Edition is the extra camera shot in the Greedo scene. Originally follows after a threatening conversation a small explosion and falls down dead on the table opposite Han, Greedo which strongly implied that Han Solo shot Greedo. For the special edition from 2004 was, however, an extra camera shot inserted which on very hakkerige way Han Solo shot Greedo fires when a digitally move and Han then responds by also shooting. This change has caused to such an extent that it brought a humorous effect among fans and the global internetmeme ' Han shot first ' caused.
