In this fascinating programme we discover from the Trekkers themselves what inspires them and what motivates their love for Gene Roddenberrys timeless creation. Plus we are treated to excerpts from the starship Intrepid and go behind the scenes of the fans-made films to see how a hardy band of trekkers create their own installments, costumes make-up scenery acting and filming.

何種類も売り出されたシリーズが映画自体として「中毒」を招くだけでなく、関連商品購入も「中毒」になって生活も壊れた(それでも満足している)人々が出てくる。 特に、旧3部作に比べ新3部作への失望が、多くの出演者の共通の不満となっている。エピソード1を観ただけでその後の作品は観てないという人も多い。絶対的な悪役の不在が新シリーズの欠点で、その悪役がルーカスになってしまったという人も出てくる。 最大の非難は、唯一のフルCGキャラクターであるジャー・ジャー・ビンクスに向けられる。不満から私家版の『スターウォーズ』を作った多くの人々も取り上げられる。 最初の公式なスピンオフの一つだった「ホリディ・スペシャル」(Star Wars Holiday Special)もまた批判の的となる(映像はその後公開されていない)。これは チューバッカが故郷に帰る話だった。

These "Space-Con" conventions left an indelible mark on the science-fiction fans and "Trekkers" who attended.
