Synopsis

This documentary follows Malgus, a Star Wars fan from generation X, collector and cosplayer in the 501st Legion. Around him gravitate other fans, such as the couple Jef and Kim, well known in the Star Wars fandom in Quebec, as well as Steeve, a Huron-Wendat businessman, owner of Sagamité restaurants, and of a toy store dedicated to Star Wars. Malgus is elected Commander of the Quebec garrison of the 501st, but he will begin to doubt the group, and will seek more and more to live his passion alone. We witness the evolution of their passion and how it transforms them. We follow them in their daily life to understand why Star Wars gives them so much gratification. This documentary is the first of its kind on the phenomenon: it distinguishes itself first of all by its cinéma-vérité style, and takes a look at the generation X present during the first theatrical releases of the trilogy.

That the fan is with you does a great job of drawing us into their lives, no matter what connection one has to their passion for Star Wars [...] So this documentary is a very specific and entirely universal story.
