Family Movie Night: JEDI JUNIOR HIGH


Welcome to another installment of FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT, where we give our recommendation on a family-friendly movie to enjoy. This week we review the 2014 documentary, JEDI JUNIOR HIGH.

Once upon a time in 2009, in the Anaheim suburb of Costa Mesa, CA, a group of children and pre-teens were gathered to stage a musical version of The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth installment in the Star Wars saga. The budget was low, the rehearsal time was short, and the talent was about where you would expect it to be with a bunch of child actors. Jedi Junior High tells the story of that strange and heroic undertaking.
