Few could have imagined the long-lasting impact it would have on worldwide pop culture that exists to this day. As of 2008, the six films alone have generated over $4.3 billion, making Star Wars one of the most successful franchises in entertainment history. Add to that the countless thousands of licensed products, and you have a powerful phenomenon that has captivated millions across the globe. And that’s only part of the story…. In 1999, as fanatics eagerly anticipated the release of Episode I, The Phantom Menace, director Tariq Jalil decided to explore this cross-generational phenomenon, so he turned his camera on the fans and the franchise like never before. Called “incredibly clever” by Film Threat, A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY shed light, for the first time into how Star Wars struck such a mysterious and powerful chord across all races, genders, and generations. And this March, Cinevolve Studios commemorates this crowd-pleasing documentary with A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY: 10TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Loaded with enough extras to cram the hold of the Millennium Falcon, the digitally-remastered DVD will warp into stores on March 24 for $19.95SRP. ]]> http://www.foundrywire.com/2009/02/go_deep_inside_the_weird_wonde_1.html http://www.foundrywire.com/2009/02/go_deep_inside_the_weird_wonde_1.html Cinevolve Studios A Galaxy Far Andy Garcia Anthony Daniels C3-PO Chewbacca Cinevolve Studios Darth Vader David Proust Dennis Franz Documentary DVD Far Away: 10th Anniversary Edition George Lucas Han Solo Jimmy Kimmel Joe Pesci Kenny Baker Luke Skywalker Meat Loaf Peter Mayhew Princess Leia R2-D2 Roger Corman Samuel L.
