A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
*cue the fanfare*

The year is 1998 and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - the most highly anticipated film for years to Star Wars fans worldwide - is set to open in a few months.

Eric Bottler (Sam Huntington) and Linus (Chris Marquette) used to be best friends. But after college, Eric started working for his dad at his car dealership leaving behind dreams of comic books and Star Wars behind him.
So the 2 have not spoken since then and Eric only still talks to the other 2 Star Wars/sci-fi/comic buddies in the group Hutch (Dan Fogler) & Windows (Jay Baruchel).

But Linus has been diagnosed with terminal cancer which means he will not get a chance to watch Episode 1 when it is released.
So as a final act of brotherhood, Eric proposes they all watch the movie before it screens - by breaking into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.

So off they go across the country to commit the sci-fi caper of the century by defying all odds and beating millions of others to watch the coveted new Star Wars film. Oh and their friend Zoe (Kristen Bell) gets dragged along too.

Star Wars fans are gonna love this movie.
And one of the best things about this movie is the number of stars who made cameos in it. Seriously.

We've got Seth Rogen (who HAD to do 3 roles), Danny Trejo (as the Chief), Ethan Suplee, Billy Dee Williams (as Judge Reinhold), Jaime King, William Shatner, Carrie Fisher, Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes (aka Jay & Silent Bob) and even Ray Park (as the security guy).

They're either part of Star Wars at one point are are huge Star Wars fans themselves but none of them minded poking some fun at themselves or the saga that they love.

Not exactly the BEST movie to watch but if you're a fan get the DVD and you'll probably get some laughs out of it.

Final Verdict:
