A Galaxy Far Far Away

As this is the first time I have actually seen this movie it was a a lot of fun to watch, well put together and there's sure as a hell a lot of worse ways to spend an hour and a half, well okay, longer than that if you listen to the commentaries as well.

Its a snapshot of fandom and the hysteria surrounding the release of The Phantom Menace, in which fans waited excitedly for its release and others tried to cash in on the hype of the then new movie. It's a snapshot of a more innocent time (who would have thought 1999 would be referred to as a more innocent time?)

How you view this will depend entirely on your point of view. Non fans will simply label everyone interviewed as geeks with no life but if you're a fan you'll recognise yourself in some of the less extreme examples presented, hell, you might even recognise yourself in some of the extreme examples presented.

Tariq Jalil, the director, presents us with a fair smattering of pov and you either smile or cringe at some of the things said and also, fans being fans, they're only too happy to demonstrate little things like how to lift a car in a parking lot.

I suppose its just me, but if someone with a camera says do something like that and I'd tell 'em where to stick that camera, that's just not my type of thing. I'm just to cynical and aware of how things can be misrepresented or misunderstood.

But the documentary shows us, that fandom is not so much of what we're fans of but more of ourselves. Leading us to ask the question `why are we fans of...anything?`

This anniversary reissue comes with deleted scenes, a new commentary and new interviews...the commentaries being particularly enjoyable.
