If you're of a certain age, you might remember watching SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back [48m] on CBS back in the day. But have you ever considered, what a making-of feature for ESB might be like if it were made..... by a FRENCHMAN??? The Making Of The Empire Strikes Back [58m] directed by Michel Parbot.

Silly little foreign people! They talk in funny ways!
If this were about a "man from China" instead of a FRENCHMAN, MeFi's algorithm would automatically block it.

Honestly, I just thought the complete difference in content between the two films sort of reflected something that I've seen in some French cinema compared to American films. I guess the jokey headline was a derail, which is why I rarely do them.
