In production for many, many years. Scenes shot, reshot, and shot again. This movie was "coming soon" for so long, that only a select group of starwars spoof underground movie-goers knew about it.
The story is simple. Die hard Starwars fans want to watch Episode 1 before it gets released to the public--so they decide to go steal a print of it. Enter shenanigans.
This is the type of movie that you have to have common knowledge of Starwars to enjoy. If you have never seen a Starwars movie before, I suggest not watching it. However, if you have seen any of them (like any normal person who knows what a good movie is), I suggest watching.
The Good: This is very Road Trip-esque, so if you like the "travel, jokes, travel, jokes" type of movie, this is perfect of you. The cast is great, although I don't really know any of their names. Lots of cameos such as William Shatner, Seth Rogan, Danny Trejo, Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Ray Park(Darth Maul), Will Forte. This is like a dumbed down, smart comedy...if there is such a thing. The best parts are when Starwars fans and the Star Trek fans are just talking a lot of smack to each other. This epic battle between these subcultures traverses well into real world.
The Bad: The really good jokes were few and far between. Although the entire this is fairly well rounded, I only laughed out loud a few times. I'll go ahead and say that there are many plot holes, but thats to be expected.
Watch it...especially if you are reading this blog.
