"Jedi Junkies tears the lid off one of the most rabid pop culture fandoms in America." -- Primary Ignition
"Jedi Junkies is the Star Wars fan film Star Wars fans have been waiting for. The Force is strong with this one." -- Geek Chic Daily
Star Wars isn't just a series of films. It's an indelible part of the last thirty years of global culture, going far beyond mere entertainment. For some, being a Star Wars fan has become a way of life. Go deep inside this astonishing world of ultimate Star Wars fandom in this documentary profile of a unique group of individuals who walk a fine line between movie fan and obsession. Jedi Junkies is a fun, affectionate, and funny inside look at people whose lives were changed forever by the Star Wars franchise.

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.

"Jedi Junkies" is an extraordinary film. It's smart, knowing, lively, sympathetic, and besides being great fun it's an eye-opening introduction to some far-out super-dedicated Star War fans. I've watched it a couple of times with fascination and admiration. Though it's likely to be most appreciated by people (unlike me) who are seriously into the Star Wars saga, it's really a film for everyone who is curious about extraordinarily passionate people, even if some of them sometimes seem to be over the edge. Mark Edlitz is, I believe, a singularly talented and imaginative filmmaker: he's an artist who deeply understands, admires, and in his smart and entertaining film celebrates passionate people.

If you are a hard core Star Wars fan, you will love this. It is great to see the other fans show their appreciation for Star Wars. It is a little slow at times, but you will love it. I did't get the focus on the princess stuff... but the rest is amazing. Rent/buy this movie, and may the force be with you.
