Reception
PC World said {{qi|At first glance, LucasArts' Star Wars Screen Entertainment looks like a cynical attempt to wring one last quart of Grade A from Lucas's main cash cow. But this inexpensive, disk-based divertissement (it's only $35.95) is a revealing compendium of behind-the-scenes technia and trivia, and will probably be of keen interest to filmmaking fanatics as well as R2D2 diehard}}.{{cite web|first=Michael|last=Goodwin|url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA16175125&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-GPS&asid=e7aec8a1|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250109071543/https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA16175125&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-GPS&asid=e7aec8a1|title=Fun with numbers, fantasy castles, and Star Wars trivia|magazine=PC World|archivedate=January 9, 2025|date=November 1994|accessdate=January 17, 2025|via=Gale Research|url-status=live}}
Macworld said {{qi|And on that score, this collection of 14 displays based on the Star Wars movies succeeds terrifically. George Lucas junkies will spill adrenaline to see the entire screenplay and storyboards for Star Wars}}.{{cite web|first=David|last=Pogue|url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA16033617&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-GPS&asid=782849d3|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250109071712/https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&u=wikipedia&id=GALE%7CA16033617&v=2.1&it=r&sid=bookmark-GPS&asid=782849d3|title=The screen-saver myth|magazine=Macworld|archivedate=January 9, 2025|date=February 1995|accessdate=January 17, 2025|via=Gale Research|url-status=live}}
