Empire of Dreams: The Story of the 'Star Wars' Trilogy2004

Narrator:
Just one day into filming, the Sahara was pelted with its first major rainfall in fifty 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.
