In 1976, during the hottest summer on record, Star Wars was shot in suburban North London. Nobody involved had any idea how big the film would become, many couldn't even remember the title. Yet, for the extras and actors in smaller roles, their faces hidden in masks and helmets, this seemingly insignificant job would go on to colour their lives even four decades later.

Jon Spira writes and directs this documentary which tells the stories of some of the actors and extras who held minor roles in the acclaimed sci-fi film 'Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977). Featuring behind-the-scenes footage and extensive interviews with the likes of John Chapman who had a wordless role as an X-Wing fighter pilot, and Paul Blake who played the alien Greedo, the film takes a detailed look at the actors' time on-set and discusses the impact the film has had on their lives since.
