I'm probably in the minority with this film, but I liked it a lot. Not sure why it never got a proper release in theaters though. I won't go into all the plot details, but it takes place in 1998 before Star Wars Episode 1 is released. A bunch of SW geeks go on a roadtrip to try to break into Skywalker Ranch in order to steal a copy of the movie before it's released. I won't reveal why they do this, but I thought it was well done in many ways, and not just in the comedy aspect. There are tons of cameos and after the first 15 minutes or so of stale jokes, I thought it got pretty funny. The back-and-forth between Trekkies and Lucas disciples were the best parts. I'm giving it 3.5/5 stars.
