The Movie God   |  @   |  

FanboysFanboys very much embraces all that is geek, telling the tale of group of friends in 1998 who risk it all to break into the Skywalker ranch and steal a copy of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace for their dying friend.

Along the way, they encounter about as many icons in fanboydom as possible, including multiple cast members from various Star Wars movies, celebrity fanboy Kevin Smith, and even William Shatner. Word is, somewhere along the way there is a confrontation among Trekkies and Star Wars fans, which could be worth seeing on its own.

To help pass the time until you and I do get the chance to see it there are a couple of new clips online. One is a funny Skywalker Ranch hostage situation and the other involves the usage of the Jedi mind trick.

Continue reading to check out the videos, which are preceded by the full trailer if you haven’t seen it yet!

Fanboys has had about 26 different release dates set since 2007, many of which didn’t work out. One of the main concerns was the dying friend storyline that probably seemed a little “too much” for a lighthearted comedy. Ultimately — after screenings showed fans very much liked the storyline — it looks like it will be kept that way for the movie’s current release date of February 6, 2009.

Unfortunately, it appears that the movie will only be initially released in 8 cities on about 40 screens around the country, so if you want to see it expand, it will have to do very well that weekend.

  2. This does look awesome, so much so that there should have already been a sequel! That trailer is just genius.

  3. That trailer is awesome. The part where the little kid hits Fogler in the balls with the lightsaber is great. I just can’t believe how long the Weinsteins have been dicking this movie over: http://www.batmanobviously.com/?p=641
