Starwoids [DVD]

I like star wars documentary I was excited to get this Star Wars documentary but I was disappointed this dvd is not it I expected interviews with different people all mostly interviews are people waiting in line buy tickets to see episode 1 in theater that part was good no complain there but don’t make it whole dvd they had two interviews with two Star Wars actors uncle Owen and Jawa who shot r2d2 that’s it for celebrities interviews.,Unless you like documentary what people do and experience waiting in line for movie opening night camping out in front of theater I can’t recommend this dvd, they interview two klingons Star Trek coosplayers, woman who painted her car car like an x wing and dress up as xwing pilot, show one toy collector who buys toys go to Star Wars episode 4 locations taking pictures there and toy hunting, and one Star Wars fan who made his own hip hop cd dress up as boba fett, and two guys who made Star Wars musical, and father priest who says he’s he Star Wars fan that’s it.,Director went to two conventions that’s I expected more from this dvd Star Wars documentary A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY is good dvd they go all over place interview many different people see people try sneak into Star Wars ranch and Jawa eye keep falling off where good parts, toy hunter guy explain what toy fan is, to toy collector, and scalpers that was good to watch to going target, Kmart, TOYS R US.,Starwoids unless you like group friends and family who supports group of people who wait in six weeks buy tickets for movie this dvd is for you extras are good Star Wars musical , deleted scenes, commentary,.If amazon or seller I don’t know who I bought 2 disk edition I received single disk version maybe two disk version could be better I don’t know it’s not first time I bought something from amazon it came to me not as described in description and on amazon I don’t know what’s on second disk maybe more to documentary show more of different people interviewing different people and different places I don’t but because amazon messed up on description of item again I bought I will never know to give review on second disk

As a Member of Lining Up and unfortunately for the Episode 3 Line, wish I could have done all three, I really enjoyed seeing people I knew and others whose story I did not. Never realized TPM lineup was actually hosted by Countdown and there was also a Westwood Village Lineup, if you a SW Fan and want to see the Story of Fans that devoted many week's of their time to being there, at the Front for the 12:01 Screening you must own this DVD. May the Force be With You!!!!PS: Also Ck out Star Wait for Episode 1 & Lining UpTv for Episode 3

not a video I will watch often.

A fun dvd

So what is a starwoid? A Starwoid is someone who is completely nut about the movie Star Wars. These are the people who are first in line to purchase the latest action figure, see the latest movie, and usually the person who talks non-stop about Star Wars. But what really separates these people from the regular herd is these are usually the people who show up in costume. So why did this film earn a 4 star rating?It would have earned a five star rating but the film quality is a bit lower than expected. I figured it would be higher quality considering Kevin Smith did some of the narration in this film, but it looks mostly like video camera footage. So how did it earn the four stars?Well I have always had an interest in why so many people went crazy when they found out George Lucas was making a new Star Wars movie. Recall the people standing in lines 42 days before the movie even premiered? Remember the People who went Nuts At Toys R Us just get their first glance at the Latest Action Figures? Or how about watching people maxing out their credit Cards to buy these items? That is what intrigued me.Anyways the main part of the movie is about a group of people who stood in line for 42 days just to buy tickets to first showing of the Episode I and the media frenzy that surrounded it.But do not think that is all there is to it.Footage includes:those who went to see a now forgotten movie just to see the Trailer to the NEW Star Wars Film,a Guy who created a Musical Version Of Star Wars,those who went nuts at Toys R Us just to get the Latest Star Wars Toys,the search for where they filmed certain Desert Sequences from the Original Star Wars movie,Star Wars Celebration I in Denver Colorado (Funny scene from two guys who attended the festival dressed as Klingons)and much more.

With all the hype and hoopla around the DVD release of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it's easy to forget the amazing frenzy that occurred around the theatrical release of the movie. Waiting a few minutes in line this week at your local retail store or a couple of days for your DVD to arrive from an online retailer just doesn't compare to the Star Wars Fanatics who spent as long as six weeks waiting in line to be the first to see Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.Starwoids is a very entertaining look at what it's like to be a Star Wars Fanatic, to not only get caught up in Star Wars frenzy but be a part of it. Watching Starwoids I couldn't help drawing comparisons to Trekkies, a documentary about Star Trek Fandom. While I think Trekkies was a fantastic documentary I enjoyed Starwoids even more. Trekkies felt like it was showing the absurdity of Extreme Fandom while in many ways Starwoids celebrates it. The makers of Starwoids waited in line along side other fans for 42 days, and their film really feels like its 'from the trenches'.Starwoids is introduced by Kevin Smith who also does an interview on the DVD about the influence of Star Wars on his movies (ever thought that Jay and Silent Bob are a lot like C3PO and R2D2?). It's an interesting interview, and I would have liked to have seen even more. So after you watch Star Wars: The Phantom Menace on DVD be sure to check out Starwoids for a great look at the entire movie phenomenon. [Geoffrey Kleinman, DVDTalk.com]
