No matter how much you like Star Wars, the film will leave you feeling relatively healthy and normal.

Regardless of what you think of The Phantom Menace, it's tough to not crack a smile when these hardcore fans finally get their tickets and the lights go down.

I am no Starwoids and I have not seen this movie. I am NOT a Starwoid since I don't like Star Wars.

More about the lines that formed months in advance of the opening if Episode I and less about what drew these people to Star Wars in the first place. The doc is decidedly one-sided since it does not discuss how Episode I was not received well by all. I for one would have been very interested to hear about someone who waited in line all that time and didn't like the movie. I didn't wait in a long line and I didn't like it.

I was not impressed. Starwoids should not be comparing itself the the film Trekkies. It sets itself up for disapointment. I am a Star Wars lover but found the documentary Trekkies absolutely hilarious. It highlights the most amazingly interesting people and takes you through a lifestyle that even if you think geeks are silly, you can't help but respect. This documentary is about standing in a line to see Phantom Menace, and is kind of like watching a dramatic soap-opera.

A movie about Star Wars nerds waiting in line for Episode I. This movie might be better than the one they waited in line to see. zing!

An interesting docu. It's not so much a profile of extreme Star Wars fans (a la "Trekkies"). Rather, it's mostly focused on the culture of lining up for a movie, back when there was still hope and optimism about the film. At the same time there's a exploration of the attitude of wanting to "be first" at something.

Production quality varies, but footage is very interesting. Can be hard to follow at times.
