Movie Reviews of Star Wait
Movie Review: An entertaining documentary on the hardcore SW fans
Summary: 3 Stars
Star Wait is a documentary about a group of hardcore Star Wars fans who have gotten together through the website liningup.net and have been literally camping outside of Graman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood for 2-6 weeks in anticipation for Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones.
The documentary features the experiences for several of these men and women.. Some have found love, some have met people they can not stand (and yes, this DVD features some of that drama). Focusing on the friendships, the making of lightsabers, how people can get volatile without decent sleep and the complaint of bad body odor.
Also, you get to see the news crews interviewing the fans and Christians reaching out to these fans through music.
One of the most interesting scenes is when a group of punks began badmouthing the Star Wars fans and among the "Star Wars nerds" is a very muscular individual who knocks out one of the instigators after being pushed.
Needless to say, Star Wait is not for children. This DVD features profanity, mooning and adult humor.
One scene featured the fans getting tattoos and a girl jokingly talking about getting a tattoo of Darth Vader on her butt and open the crack to find a tattoo of Annakin during anal sex. Let's just hope she's really joking.
As for DVD quality, it was shot on DV and it's a documentary. Menu layout is plain and simple.
The DVD does feature plenty of special features which include Star Wait Again which features a short look at the lineup for Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith (which the film was not even showing at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre but out of tradition, many fans wanted to partake in the final Star Wars lineup).
As for other special features, plenty of deleted scenes and celebrity DVD commentaries from Amy Allen (Aayla Secura of SWII & SWIII), three original members of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Samm Levine and John Daley (Freaks and Geeks), Jason Guy of Big Brother 3, Paul F. Tompkins of Mr. Show, Paget Brewster and Dana Gould.
All in all, the DVD's intention of filming a documentary on hardcore Star Wars fans who wait and camp out in line for hundreds of hours to watch a film is accomplished. It's actually pretty fun to watch.
If you have an open mind and want to see a perspective of Star Wars fandom, definitely check this DVD out.
