i saw this movie at the reshowing on Friday before fantasy in Chesapeake, VA. it needs editing, but Gary wood said he's still editing, so hopefully it will get tightened up. it's a relatively disjointed story of a man (woody) who's son (Taylor) is mortally ill and the son only wants star wars to go on, so his father will always have something to remember him (Taylor) by. the majority of the movie takes place at the star wars celebration, where woody and his childhood friend, hank (my favorite character) want to meet George Lucas to give Lucas a letter from Taylor. the ensuing situations make up the bulk of the movie.there are such weird characters as Dennis badder (a Vader wannabe)agent smith (one of Lucas' guard) Salvatore (a minion of Lucas') Lisa (a great tribute to padme and Leia) i went into it expecting to be more depressed than tickled, but i was wrong. when the movie is funny, it's VERY funny.there are many tips of the hat to such diverse movies as the godfather, airplane, and even star trek (watch for it) it was great to see Dave prowse looking healthy and he has a good ear for comedy and a wonderful deadpan delivery. i recommend this movie to movie buffs, star wars buffs in particular. even most people in fandom should enjoy it.
