Production

The film was successfully funded via Kickstarter, grossing £42,191.[1]

The first trailer was released on 29 October 2015. It played at the BFI London Film Festival[2][3] The premiere was attended by 400 people.[4]

Reception

It received mixed reviews. Screen Daily said "While the quirky outcome falls short of that ambition, it offers a slice of enjoyable nostalgia, capturing a sense of life as silly, surprising, regretful and all too fleeting."[5] The Hollywood Reporter said "for anyone expecting a definitive behind-the-scenes film about the making of Star Wars, this is not the documentary you have been looking for."[6] Film School Rejects said "Hardcore “Star Wars” fans looking for insight into the making of the film will find tidbits here, but the film has bigger concerns."[7]
