Lestrade

I went and saw this film here in Toronto on Tuesday, May 4—that's right, the staff of the currently running Hot Docs festival opened the film by saying "May the Fourth Be With You!"

I personally loved the film. Of course, being a long-time lurker of these forums and of other similar sites, much of it wasn't new per se; however, the film does an excellent job at really highlighting how odd this whole situation is.

One of my moviegoing friends was someone who had never watched any Star Wars before; she enjoyed the film quite a bit (which is good, seeing as she was reviewing it for a local magazine), and found it both entertaining and genuinely fascinating, even if the really specific in-jokes went over her head.

Oddly, the film has only heightening my Star Wars mania, because now people are talking about it again.

If anyone hasn't seen it, and has the chance to, I highly recommend it.
