Jedi Junkies Documentary: A Flattering Look at Fandom: "

The recently released Jedi Junkies documentary is a tour through Star Wars fandom, from the sexy to the slightly scary. But unlike some other documentaries I’ve seen that touch on serious fans, this one doesn’t seem to have the mocking undertones. Even interspersed with interviews with a psychologist talking about the nature of obsession, it’s entirely respectful.

Though it touches on a lot of different types of Star Wars fans, the film highlights a few specific components:

Collectors
Tribute bands
Custom-made lightsabers
New York Jedi, a lightsaber dueling/choreography group
Two fan films: one called “Stuck on Star Wars” that included building a life-size Millennium Falcon in someone’s backyard, and one still in production called “Tremors of the Force”
Behind the scenes of Chad Vader
Slave Leias, with a look at one photoshoot we’ve seen before, and interviews with a Leia burlesque dancer and a bellydancer

There are also interviews with Attack of the Show’s Olivia Munn, who spoke about the difference between dorky and sexy when it comes to fans:

“Dorky Star Wars fans are the ones who have to correct you on every single thing. Sexy are the guys who know and are passionate about it and can handle a lightsaber pretty well, and I can sit down and have coffee with you and talk about it without being corrected every third word.”

If you’re a big Star Wars fan, you’ll probably get a kick out of this documentary, particularly the stuff you recognize. A lot of filming was done at conventions; I recognize a lot of Dragon Con in particular. And if you’re not a fan… well, you probably won’t get it. But all in all, it’s very well done and pretty entertaining, and the fans come off as people with a hobby as opposed to scary obsessives (with the possible exception of the collectors, who are at times self-deprecating). It’s now available on iTunes or Amazon.com for purchase or rent. And here’s the trailer!

Run up in a nigga house and shoot his grandmother up what!

And ya baby motherf**ked
It’s tha Carter 3 bitch better put ya supper up
Hollygrove I throw it up like im tryna lose my gut
F**k is up beat him up like a million uppercuts
Got a million duffeled up for the f**k of it
Shit get on my level you cant get on my level
You would need a spaceshuttle or a ladder thats forever
However im better if not now than never
Dont you ever fix ya lips unless you bout to suck my dick
Bitch swallow my words taste my thoughts
And if its too nasty spit it back at me
Two more inches i’da been in that casket
According to the doctor I could of died in traffic
Bounce right back on them bitches like Magic
Abra-cadabra im up like Viagra

But they cannot see me like Hitler

Money so old its growin white hair
Young Money baby

Ima make sure we ball till we fall like tears
And mama dont cry
Ya son can handle his
I got her out the hood and put her in the hills
Yeah when I was fourteen I told my mom we will see better days
And sure enough I got Miss Cita in a better place
When I was fourteen I told my mom we will see better days
And sure enough we did exactly what I say
I told my girl when you f**k me better f**k me good
Cause if another girl could she gon f**k me good
No sittin at the table if you bringin nothin to it
And I get straight to it like its nothin to it

I'm Me Lyrics

[Intro:]
The hottest... under the sun
Ain't nobody xxxxxxx with me, man
And you already know that, pimpin
Cash Money Records, where dreams come true
Fuck up my dreams, somebody gon die tonight
And you already know that, pimpin
Hey it's Cash Money Records man
The law in this game

[Verse 1:]
Un-fuckin believable, Little Wayne's the president
Fuck em, xxxx em, xxxx em
Even if they celibate
I know the game is crazy
It's more crazy than it's ever been
I'm married to that crazy bitch
Call me Kevin Federline
It's obvious that he'll be Cash Money til the death of him
The ground shall break when they bury him
Bury him, I know one day they gotta bury him
But I lock my casket tight baby so I don't let the devil in
Nigga, it's just me and my guitar
Yea, xxxxx I'm heavy metal-ing
You can get to xxxxxx Led Zeppelin
Niggas is bitches, bitches, I think they full of estrogen
And we hold court, take your life for the settlement
Yes, I'm the best. and no I ain't positive, I'm definate
I know the game like I'm reffing it
This is Tha Carter, Tha Carter 3, the new testament
And I'm the god, and this is what I bless them with

[Hook:]
Bitch, I'm me, I'm me, I'm me, I'm me
Baby, I'm me, So who you, You're not me, You're not me
And I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I'm a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire
I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I'm a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire

[Verse 2:]
Junior
It's cash money over everything
It's in my blood I feel it runnning in every vein
I'm from the mud I am a missle like the stud
What's really good, I'm about to ruckus like fud
And I stay on my flow and Cash Money like a rug
Tied to the fuckin' birmman like a log
And dear Mr. Ronald Williams
To you I shall forever give thanks like a billion
Cash Money million, hier to the throne
Going at the head is like hair and a comb
Sittin by the window, I just stare at the stone
Knowin' I might get through it like hair and a comb
Know money over bitches, my niggas trust my sisters
And I will take or trash it with the lord as my witness
And you all have witnessed, but I am not finished
So keep your mouth closed and let your eyes listen

[Hook:]
That I'm me I'm me, I'm me, I'm me, I'm me
Baby, I'm me, So who you, You're not me, You're not me
And I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I'm a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire
I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I'm still a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire

[Verse 3:]
Last year they had the grammys and left me in Miami
Sleeping on a nigga like I'm rapping in my jammies
I'm rapping when you sleep, I was rapping when you were in jammies
Mel Gibson flew lethal weapon book em' danny
I'm a monster I tell you monster wayne
I have just swallowed the key to the house of pain
Now I'm stuck here to deal with the house's pain
Fuck with me, I will peel like the house's pain
Let's go, niggas don't see me cause I'm better than both
The only time I will depend is when I'm seventy years old
That's when I can't hold my xxxx within so I xxxx on myself
Cause I'm so sick and tired of shitting on everybody else
I'm tryna tell you like I saying something
I'm from the dirty like the bottom of my pants cuff
And there ain't nothin gonna stop me
So just envy it, hey, I'll accept a friendly quit.
(ha) yea

[Hook:]
I'm me, I'm me. Bitch, I'm me
Baby, I'm me, So who you, You're not me, You're not me
And I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I'm a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire
I know that ain't fair, but I don't care
I am a motha xxxxxx Cash Money millionaire

[Outro:]
The hottest... under the sun
Ain't nobody xxxxxxx with me, man
And you already know that, pimpin
Cash Money Records, where dreams come true
Somebody gon die tonight
And you already know that, pimpin
Hey it's Cash Money Records man
The law in this game
