Reminiscing with Actors and Extras of Star Wars

In this fascinating documentary, go behind the scenes of one of the most iconic film series of all time: Star Wars. The actors and extras who played aliens, storm troopers, rebels and even Darth Vader in George Lucas' Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope reminisce about their time on set and how making the Sci-Fi classic affected their lives and careers, for better or for worse.

"A sweet, quietly funny, fascinating and contemplative study of 10 character actors and extras, none of whom had any idea back in the 1970s they'd forever be defined by the one or two days they spent on the set of a sci-fi movie." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
