"Heart warming and fascinating."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A lovely, sentimental look at the behind the scenes fan movement, centred around the convention circuit and the actors who filled out the Star Wars movie universe. Interesting interviews with some wonderful actors make this a fascinating documentary. Watch for the touching moments with Dave Prowse, the Real Darth Vader.

"Tragedy as Star not recognized at conventions!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Elstree is a great dvd investigating the small parts in Star Wars: A New Hope, because it is one year after A New Hope, and how the lives of the small roles have been shaped by acting in Star Wars. It was something of a shock that at Star Wars conventions people don't recognize Dave Prowse at Star Wars conventions like Star Wars Celebrations because he is covered in a mask no one asks for his autograph because they do not recognize his face. The Documentary also explained Dave Prowse other role as the traffic safety officer in British safety feature the Green Cross man. The younger stars found it was great to be acting with the likes of Mark Hamil. A great collectable dvd which has credibility the likes of Empire of Dreams documentaries.

Description

In 1976, during the hottest summer on record, Star Wars was shot in suburban North London. Nobody involved had any idea how big the film would become, many couldn’t even remember the title.

Yet, for the extras and actors in smaller roles, their faces hidden in masks and helmets, this seemingly insignificant job would go on to colour their lives even four decades later.
