When Star Wars landed in the theaters, it introduced audiences to a galaxy filled with heroes and villains, robots and space ships, and a dizzying variety of alien life. But when the lights came up, they all disappeared... Unless you had all the toys. In which case, the adventure never had to end. In backyards, playgrounds, basements, and bedrooms, Star Wars toys helped kids re-enact scenes from their favorite movies, and create entirely new dangers for Luke Skywalker and his friends to face. They were lusted after on holidays and birthdays, swapped with great cunning out on the school yard, and carefully collected like fine treasures. Like no toys before them, the action figures, space ships, play sets, and props were a phenomenon that swept the nation with as much force as the film that inspired them. Along the way they transformed both the toy and movie industries, earned those behind them vast amounts of wealth, and ultimately created a hobby that, 30 years later, still holds sway over not only the people who grew up with the toys, but also an entirely new generation of fans. Plastic Galaxy is a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world ofStar Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees, experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys’ history, their influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today. The film, which will be released on DVD, also includes tours of some of the top collections -- comprising prototypes, bootlegs, foreign toys, and all manner of surprises. DVD extras, including micro-documentaries and extended interviews, make Plastic Galaxy a prize for not only newer fans, but also long-time collectors. The DVD will be Region 0, meaning it will be playable on any DVD player or computer in anycountry. Even in galaxies far, far away...

Je l'ai vu aujourd'hui et j'ai passé un très bon moment. Je crois que ce que j'ai préféré ce sont les entretiens avec des employés de Kenner qui ont bossé sur les jouets SW. J'ai aussi apprécié les interventions des collectionneurs qui expriment leurs émotions quant à leurs collections. J'avais un peu peur que ça tourne autour des cotes, mais rien de cela. On y voit de belles pièces.
Les bonus sont aussi très sympas (les sabres laser vintages, la ligne micro et les protos).
Je ne sais pas si c'est un DVD indispensable, mais je ne regrette pas mon achat, je le reverrai avec plaisir.
PS : c'est en anglais, sans sous titres
