Four geeky friends reunite over the love of Star Wars, pre the prequels. Dan Fogler has one nut, Chris Marquette has terminal cancer, Jay Baruchel is in love with a tween online, and Sam Huntington has been given the keys to his fathers Auto Dealership kingdom. They hit the road in search of the Skywalker Ranch in hopes to break in and steal Episode One. Their reason; Marquettes cancer won't let him live long enough to see it.
The journey is pock-marked with cameos by "nerds who've made it," and you'll care less and less seeing each one. The Star War Four have run-ins with Trekkies, find a gay biker bar, and recount each of their own failures. They eventually make it to the ranch and George Lucas, (via a phone call) heeds to their call like at the end of Vacation, but only lets the one with cancer see it. Afterwards he doesn't come screaming out in agony or with his eyes all a bloody. He just gives them a "you'll know when you see it" look. Kristen Bell in the meantime, hooks up with the unwitted Baruchel because she has always been in love with him. At the end, they await for the movie to start and one says to the other, "What if it sucks?"
Well this sucked and the prequels sucked. I'm sure their dead friend agonized from above as there was no one to argue with over whether Greedo shot first.
