A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. Patrick Read Johnson conceived this semi-autobiographical homage to his teen years as a sci-fi movie geek. He was one of the 1st to see an incomplete form of Star Wars outside of ILM.
Developed in 1999, filming didn’t begin until 2004. On May 25, 2012, the 35th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, Johnson began a cross-country road trip in his 1975 Ford Pinto to attract the funding needed to finish the film’s remaining post-production work.
Being the same age as Johnson and also being a huge sci-fi geek during those magical times, this film resonated deeply with me. Not so much that I could ignore the fan film feel of the completed project, but it was still a very fun trip down memory lane.
I was a junior in high school and I talked my best friend into making a 30 minute drive to see Star Wars. We were shocked to see the line nearly out to the street. This movie was like no other movie we’d ever seen before! I think those of us who were in grade school/jr high/high school during the 1960’s/1970’s saw so, so many first. Even in the 21st century we’re still seeing so many first! Some are good and some are very bad, but what a time to be alive though!
I said the same thing about the times we were born into when David Bowie died!!!
Fantastic movie. Very nostalgic. Pat was a very imaginative kid.
I always love seeing Austin Pendleton. He plays humble, compassionate characters.
P.S. Don’t be sad, Bill, he’ll remember you, you little prick.
