WaPo Video: Star Wars as a Ken Burns documentary

The rush to spoof, critique, and emulate Star Wars has reached new highs as the film opens, and now it has a more academic parody.

Star Wars, if it were the basis of a Ken Burns war documentary, was produced by The Washington Post on Friday.

A lone fiddle to set a Civil War-era tone accompanies film stills, expert interviews, and the explanation of the meaning of the famed galactic war.

Spoiler-free with PBS-friendly production values, watch it below.
