Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy

Narrator:
Just one day into filming, the Sahara was pelted with it's first major rainfall in 50 years.

Robert Watts:
We were going out there to shoot. I came out in the morning and the rain was going horizontally down the street this way. I thought, "My God!" I just called a rest day on the crew and told them to go back to bed because there was no way we were going to shoot on that.
