The timing of this movie couldn't be better. With The Force Awakens
hype at a feverish pitch, this nostalgic look back at the stories of
ten individuals whose acting jobs during the summer of 1976 forever
changed their lives. No one knew it at the time, but this American
Sci-Fi project they were hired for would go on to be one of the highest
grossing franchises in the history of cinema. While none of these
actors has found worldwide success in film or had their life cut
tragically short, Elstree 1976 is a touching story about their common
brush with fame as pioneers in the Star Wars universe. If you're a fan
of the 1977 classic, you will love this film. If you're not a big fan,
but appreciate a great character driven documentary, this would also be
for you. There is enough here to keep everyone happy as we travel back
a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
