5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this movie! Very funny! Very sexy!, May 26, 2010

I loved this movie. It's a very funny and very sexy look at extreme Star Wars fans.

The film covers an entire gambit of Star Wars fans including a guy who built a life size Millenium Falcon in his backyard. (There's a good story behind why he did and what happened to the space ship.) Film also shows this group called the NY Jedi - who are light saber experts. Also shown are toy collectors and people who make Star Wars fan films.

And if you're interested in women who dress up like Princess Leia in her metal bikini - aka "Slave Leia" you will not be disapointed.

A few actors from the Star Wars films are interviewed. That includes Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Ray Park (Darth Maul) and Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett).

Also interviewed is Olivia Munn from Attack of the Show.

I'm glad that this film doesn't make fun of Star Wars fans. Yes, it shows that some fans might take it too far....(one guy doesn't have a bed because he bought to many toys.) But the film really celebrates the fans.

In short... Very funny. Very sexy. Very entertaining.

This was a pretty good documentry about Star Wars fans. It was a little heavy on the light saber duels, but still intertaining. It was nice to see Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, and Ray Parks in the show.

The only thing I didn't like was that I can not copy it to a flash drive or to my laptop. You have to watch it from Amazon or register your tv or Blu ray player. It's my fault I should have read all the info before buying it.
