Over the summer of 1976, a wide array of actors, along with an inexhaustible supply of film extras, donned crazy costumes and headgear to populate George Lucas's Star Wars universe. Few of them understood what the film even was, let alone the impact it would go on to have culturally on a global basis. This film tracks some of them down, and explores the bizarre community they have formed.
