Featuring modern philosophers, academics, news reporters and acclaimed authors, as well as filmmakers, critics, politicians and those who have a finger on the pulse of popular culture, the two-hour documentary examines the six-film series as an epic work worthy of study, fitting it into the overall tapestry of the heroic tradition of storytelling, from Homeric poems and the Bible all the way to 20th century Westerns and Samurai films of George Lucas's youth. There's no question that Star Wars has left an indelible mark on popular culture. This film provides a look at how such a futuristic treatment of old-fashioned entertainment would be an enduring source of escapism and inspiration for modern generations, as well as those of the future.
