I should love the subject matter. I love Star Wars, I'm a bit of a nerdy fanboy, I collect the action figures, and I attend midnight showings of any of the movies. But I haven't waited in line. I think if I were younger, and didn't need to work, I'd wait for the fun of it. The truth is that this movie isn't that great. I love certain sections of it. The musical, the figure collectors, and Katie with her X-Wing are all great. The problem is that I find the main players in the movie are not ideal subjects to focus on. The flaws that these people have is in their sense of grandeur, that somehow they are the kings of the fans. The editing is a little annoying too, though I would be pressed to cite an example. I wanted to love this movie, but it's just got too many weaknesses. Good for fans, but otherwise... I wouldn't buy it.

Starwoids ranks as one of the best and unquestionably the funniest Star Wars documentary ever made. I have seen the film numerous times since its inception. From high school kids putting on a Star Wars musical to jawas who have trouble with their eyes popping out, there are plenty of laughs (and you don't have to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate them, you just have to have a sense of humor). At the same time, a drama plays out between rival fans who lined up to see Episode I over a month before it came out! Set some time aside for yourself and watch it.

not being a star wars fan, i went with a friend at a film festival and was surprised at how much i loved this flick! funny, clever, entertaining, and very educational! a must see for all starwoids and non. don't know where or when it's playing next, but worthy of some research.

I saw this film at the NoDance Film Festival and I would have to say that I not only laughed myself silly, but was intrigued with these people (or Starwoids, as the movie calls them) from beginning until end. The film takes almost a Utopian approach on how two groups not only stand in line for six weeks for a movie, but also how they learn to live, love, and deal with each other in a `Survivor' like fashion. One even starts their own form of government! The side stories about other Star Wars fans are priceless. Star Wars - The Musical and a DJ Boba Fett are worth the price of admission alone. Fan or no fan, this is a great movie and one the best ones on fandom I've ever seen.
