From the Director of BRONIES: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony comes, Laurent Malaquais' next documentary on extreme fandom, AMERICAN JEDI. This time Laurent Malaquais focuses his lens on a group of Star Wars fans who identify as Jedi. These fans are so inspired by the religious philosophy of the Jedi from the Star Wars trilogy that they have abandoned the religion of their childhood to become followers of Jediism. AMERICAN JEDI chronicles three real-life Jedi as they journey to attain Knighthood.
