In its first 2 months in stores- Star Wait sold 30,000+ copies! Not bad for a film that cost about $500 to make. Congrats to everyone invlolved with Star Wait!
Everytime a new Star Wars movie comes out, hundreds of Star Wars fans wait in line for 6 weeks.
Who are these people? How do they deal with people making fun of them and most importantly, how do they go to the bathroom?
Director Michael Rotman and Editor Adam Schenck stood in the "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" line with this colorful cast of characters to answer these questions and more.
Originally filmed as one of the webs first reality shows, Star Wait follows the life of a few Star Wars fans as they wait in line for 6 weeks on the streets of Hollywood, but unlike a typical reality show, Star Wait is 100% real.
At the height of its popularity, starwait.com was getting hundreds of thousands of hits and press from all over the world and now finally, the reality comes to DVD with many extras extras including special commentaries from:
The original members of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Joel Hodgson, Trace Bellieu, Josh Weinstein) cast members from Freaks and Geeks (Samm Levine and John Daley) Amy Allen (Episodes II and III) Dana Gould (The Simpsons) Paget Brewster (Huff, Friends) Paul F. Tompkins (Mr. Show) Jason Guy (Big Brother 3) and even a commentary from the punk rockers that got in a fight with the line members (Dave From Clit 45) and many more!

Classic, Live podcast from Star Wars weekends from MGM Studios. We interview Obi Wan, a leery Cast Member, screaming babys, Tony Rigatoni, and more. Listen here:
Just watched my copy again last night. This is by far the best Docufilm I own. When watching a bunch of "my kind of people" wait in line for a movie I own on DVD is still entertaining you have something special there!
I agree with Peter G...a lot of comment whores on here!
I love Star Wait and it is the best DVD investment I have ever made, aside from the Saga itself. I appreciate the time and energy you put into the film and wish I could have waited in line with everyone. It is definitely a gift that keeps on giving.
