Synopsis/Details
Three childhood friends and aspiring filmmakers — Kevin, Darren, and Reggie — struggle with broken promises, jealousy and the overwhelming desire to avoid talking to an original Star Wars trilogy purist, Lyle, who may or may not be dating his cousin. They are joined by film snob, Xavier, who doesn’t like Star Wars, but is in line for the event experience and a group of super-fans who refuse to hear any negativity about their beloved franchise.
It’s the night before May 19, 1999, and movie fans gather at their local cinema, standing in line, waiting to watching Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. A lot of things can and will happen. A girlfriend is found out she’s been faking her excitement about the movie, an epic Star Wars vs. Star Trek battle is fought, the classic fight between commercial and indie film lovers, friends have their friendship tested and much more!
