A long time ago in a garage far, far away…
Join the galaxy’s slowest (and possibly most misunderstood) droid on an epic miniaturised journey through the Star Wars universe. Packed with practical effects, puppetry, and miniature models, GONK: A Droid’s Odyssey is a love letter to classic sci-fi and DIY filmmaking.
Will Gonk find purpose beyond the beep?
Watch now and let the rebellion begin… very slowly.
