For
many
people
Star
Wars
is a
total
way
of life
(as
with
hordes
of Star
Trek
fans).
Here,
set
on the
eve
of the
much
anticipated
Episode
One
release
in the
late-'90s,
a particular
group
of American
post-teens
are
still
completely
wrapped
up with
the
creations
of George
Lucas.
With
one
of the
group
trying
to leave
The
Force
and
the
Death
Star
behind
him
and
become
a responsible
adult,
the
rest
of the
gang
cajole
him
into
fulfilling
a pilgrimage
they'd
been
planning
since
school
days.
They
want
to take
a road
trip
to George
Lucas'
Skywalker
Ranch...and
grab
the
as yet
unreleased
Episode
One
to see
it before
anyone
else.
This
trip
results
in a
range
of hilarious
moments,
from
collecting
secret
info
on how
to infiltrate
the
ranch
and
coming
to blows
with
(arch
enemy)
Star
Trek
fans,
to tripping
out
on peyote.
Sam
Huntington
starred
in a
similarly
themed
movie
Detroit
Rock
City
with
a group
of friends
taking
an icon
road
- to
see
Kiss
live.
If you're
not
remotely
versed
in Star
Wars
lore,
this
movie
will
be far
less
of a
rewarding
experience
than
someone
who
grew
up with
these
legendary
flicks
(ie.
someone
more
than
likely
born
in the
'60s
and
'70s).
Some
nice
cameos
come
in the
shape
of Star
Trek's
William
Shatner,
Jason
Mewes
&
Clerks
director
Kevin
Smith
(better
known
as Jay
&
Silent
Bob),
Carrie
Fisher
(aka
Princess
Leia),
Seth
Rogan,
Danny
Trejo
(and
a fake
über-fanboy
Larry
Knowles!).
