SYNOPSIS

Four extreme "Star Wars" fans and childhood friends drive across America to Skywalker Ranch.

A group of friends who are avid "Star Wars" fans travel west to see the Holy Grail of all sci-fi movies, "Star Wars: Episode I." The year is 1999 and for these death star dorks, the "Star Wars" films are more than just movies; they are a way of life. So, after one of the group takes sick, it is nothing short of a moral imperative that the friends break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch to watch the seminal sci-fi picture together before its release. Enlisting the help of an estranged friend, who has traded in his Darth Vader mask for a proper day job, the adventure lays way to some extremely funny situations, including an outrageous brawl with some hard-core Trekkies.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

The movie has been delayed to add a cameo with Kevin Smith and sound effects from the "Star Wars" films, which were authorized by George Lucas himself after he saw an early cut and approved.
