In 1978, George Lucas was talked into cashing in on the Star Wars craze by producing a holiday variety TV special.  What could possibly go wrong?

ANSWER: Everything...

From the filmmakers behind NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN FILM EVER MADE comes A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE,

the documentary about the infamous STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL.

TRAILER

Amazing Response

 A Disturbance in the Force has played over a dozen renowned film festivals around the

world and currently holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

"A Disturbance in the Force elicits 
full-throated guffaws as production 
personnel and innocent bystander Star Wars fans comment on what is widely considered, rightly or wrongly, an unmitigated disaster."
