What is the typeface of the actors' names?

Type Navigator gave me David Berlow's Rhode Black Extended and Titled Gothic Extended Black. Close, but not it -- the mystery font's diagonal legs of the K and R curve up.
I just saw this and 20 other choice title sequences at the Mill Valley Film Festival's presentation, "Typecast," with designer David Peters. He couldn't recall the name of this typeface.
Thanks.

I think it's a freeware font based on the Star Wars logo, or (hopefully) the original font the Star Wars logo was based on.

RedFive should do. I'm guessing that because this is on myfonts.com as free it's legit?
