Many Star Wars connections aren't found in Campbell; they are clever films, although certainly many of Campbell's themes are present. Lucas openly credits Campbell as an inspiration. It's not like he's a back alley thief or something.
I watched it. I taped it. Taped the Star Wars Tech special that preceded it as well. The mere title ("the legacy revealed") sort of sets one up for an anti-climax if one already knows the philosophy behind Star Wars movies,and it wasn't quite as entertaining as Empire of Dreams, but there were some fun (even, yes, revealing!) moments; I hope the newer films were illuminated a bit for some. Most of the connexions were known to me already, and all of them weren't covered, but it was done very well and was very enjoyable.
