May The Documentary Be With You..."Jedi Junkies"

Jedi Junkies (2010)

Documentary

Starring Ray Park, Peter Mayhew, and about a million others

Written and Directed by Mark Editz

The Story:

 This documentary shows a little bit of the rabid fanbase of Star Wars and what they do to celebrate their obsession with the film and the Star Wars universe.

I mean who would dress in costume and go to conventions?

What a bunch of weirdos.

:)

This documentary attempts to hit as much of the fandom as possible.

You've got a guy who makes lightsabers.

You've got a Jedi Academy that teaches you how to properly wield and fight with lightsabers.

No, seriously.

Then you've got the fans who make fan films, including the crew that built a close to full-size Falcon in their back yard for a film.

Still, seriously. ;)

Then there are the women that dress as slave Leia, and there are a ton of them.

The more you like the franchise, the more you'll enjoy this documentary.



Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.

Final Grade: C

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Once was plenty. I'm not that big of a fan! :)
