The Weekly Kickstarter: Stars Wars - The Musical

Stars Wars and awkward kids just go together. For more than thirty years it's been that way and, as this week's featured Kickstarter project, the Kids Star Wars Musical Documentary shows, this isn't looking to change anytime soon.

Stars Wars and awkward kids just go together. For more than thirty years it’s been that way and, as this week’s featured Kickstarter project, the Kids Star Wars Musical Documentary shows, this isn’t looking to change anytime soon.The currently untitled Kids Stars Wars Documentary is a look, not just at the prevalence of George Lucas’ famed sci-fi franchise, but about how kids, struggling with finding their own identity, often cling to strong, cultural touchstones in order to help get through some of the most confusing years of life.

It follows a group of six students from Anaheim, California’s Arts & Learning Children’s Conservatory as they create, rehearse and put on a live musical that parodies Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
