10 Best Star Wars Documentaries

Without question the single best documentary produced about the Star Wars sequels, The Director and the Jedi isn't merely a frothy puff piece collection of BTS footage - it's an at times disarmingly frank look at the challenges Rian Johnson and producer Ram Bergman faced while making The Last Jedi.

This doc provides staggering insight into the sheer daunting task of directing a modern Star Wars movie, and no matter your own feelings on the divisive sequel itself, you'll likely come away with it having greater respect for Johnson as a filmmaker.

The easy highlight is seeing Johnson and Mark Hamill disagree over the film's creative direction for Luke Skywalker, and how that was reconciled throughout production.

Elsewhere it's a fast-paced yet in-depth look at the nuts and bolts that hold a contemporary blockbuster film together, offering the sort of intimate perspective rarely seen in behind-the-scenes docs these days.
