New Documentary Highlights Kids' Attempt to Make Star Wars Musical

The pair followed students from the Arts & Learning Children's Conservatory in Anaheim, Calif. over the course of a year, during which the kids put on a musical version of The Empire Strikes Back. The film is shot, and thanks to some generous donations through Kickstarter, Burkey and Larson will actually have a chance to finish the thing.
