Who shot first, indeed!
No, I'm not talking about the controversial changes to the Cantina scene between Han Solo and Creedo where Solo no longer shoots first. I'm talking about shooting the movie, "Star Wars" which I learned was originally called: “Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as Taken From The Journal of the Whills, Saga 1: The Star Wars.”
I was about 7 years old when the Star Wars movie was first released in the theaters. It was probably within a year or so thereafter, I recall watching an earlier, B-Movie version of "Star Wars" on television.
Some of the characters were the same (names/appearance), and some were different.
Instead of flying through the trenches of the Death Star, they drove in Mad Max-like vehicles down California's sewage trenches (like they did in the drag race scene in the movie GREASE). I was curious if anyone saw this same movie and could confirm its release date, title, and whether Lucas wrote it, or plagiarized it, and/or spent some of his billions of dollars to buy it, destroy it, and shut people up about it.
I have had this question my entire life, and was hoping you or your members or anyone in star wars fandom could shed light on this mysterious B-move version of Star Wars that I saw as a child.
If anyone can send me a better copy of this B-movie version I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you.
