Heart of an Empire
In 1997, Albin Johnson took his obsession with the "Star Wars" trilogy to another level by founding the Fighting 501st Legion, a fanboy army who don elaborate stormtrooper (and other Imperial Forces) costumes and participate in public appearances, charity work and many other activities. This documentary follows the ups and downs of Albin and his legion, while exploring the motives, obsessions and the public perception of these eccentric philanthropists.
