What was... The "Star Wars" movies have sold more tickets and made more money than any other film in history. Now, the documentary "A Galaxy Far Far Away" goes deep into what drives this phenomenon. What was it about these movies that inspired so many people? With cameos by Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Pesci, Andy Garcia and Meat Loaf, "A Galaxy Far Far Away" features interviews with hundreds of fans, movie executives, high profile producers and other celebrities shedding new light on the film trilogy that has captivated generations of moviegoers. The complete, often hilarious, exploration of the "Star Wars" phenomenon brings together a group of interesting, hysterical and often touching fans. Yet, it is not just a movie about zealous fans. "A Galaxy Far Far Away" offers new insight into the reasons these fast-paced science fiction films struck a mysterious and powerful chord that crossed race, gender and age lines. . Americans were in awe this year about all the young people who spent 42 days on line to see "The Phantom Menace." It was an example of how far people will go for something they have passion for. The filmmakers search for answers behind the "Star Wars" phenomenon took them on a journey just as intense, and sometimes weirder. [More]
