Do or Do Not. There Is No Try.

About This Movie

So, 'Do or Do Not. There Is No Try.' is this niche documentary that delves into the behind-the-scenes of Jabba the Hutt's creation, which I found quite fascinating. The film shines a light on puppeteering, specifically with Dave Barclay, who brought Jabba to life alongside other talented folks. The atmosphere feels very personal; it's less about the big Star Wars legend and more about the craftsmen who worked in the shadows. There’s a real sense of camaraderie among the crew, you know? The pacing is a bit leisurely, but it lets you soak in the craft and the love for puppetry and practical effects, which is refreshing in this age of CGI. It’s a deep dive, definitely for those who appreciate the artistry behind the screen.
