I was expecting a lot from this movie because the plot is so unique and I love the actors. I tought it was so funny, so sarcastic and with some genius takes from nerds that only the ones that actually understand laugh. It's not a movie for a very big public but it's worth watching. I tought it was exactly what I was expecting and I wasn't disappointed like most of people was. One of my personal favourites.

Up until the movie started, i just was going on the shear fact that a movie was made about Star Wars fans; not realizing it actually had a deeper plot than that. Five friends are reunited at a Halloween party, and though times were different and people saw life in different ways, all gets put aside for one of them is terminally ill and all 5 team up to storm the Skywalker Ranch and steal a copy of the rough "Episode One" cha...Read more
