Heart of an Empire

The first review of this movie has come out. It was completed in the fall and has been hitting film festivals (rumor has it, will be available on DVD at some point early this year). The movie is a documentary of the 501st, with some interesting angles (that are touched on in this review). We saw some bits of it at Dragoncon last summer and since then I've been dying to see it.

Very cool review, thanks for finding it! Guess I'm not up-to-date on the whole Scott Allen story (I know the name, but not the rest they allude to), but I'm sure I'll catch it at some point.

Has anyone from the 501st looked into screenings of the movies? Are there any in the states?

I can't find anything about them on http://www.heartofanempire.com/ or their blog, or their forum. I'm sure if there is news they'll put it up there or in the Legion forum.

As of the holidays, we only had access to a portion of the film which, according to Albin, was more somber than the rest. So we don't have a full copy for ourselves yet.
