I picked this up for fifty cents at my local thrift shop on VHS. It's not by any means a bad film, but I can't help but feel that it was lacking. The idea that George Lucas, badly hung up on cheesy ideas and giving his movies names apparently inspired by product ID codes, finds true inspiration from the world around him isn't a bad one, but it comes off kind of forced here. The various inspirations are just thrown in one after another, and while the parodies are good, their method of delivery comes off a little weak.Still, the acting was good and the movie, overall, was charming. Worth buying if it turns up for fifty cents in YOUR thrift shop.

This was a great short. It was creative and funny and I especially enjoyed all the parodies of Star Wars and other works by Lucas, including Howard the Duck. Would this have worked just as a regular feature film? I'm not sure, but all 8 minutes of it is very enjoyable.

This short film surpasses other shorts that spoof 'Star Wars.' An interesting mesh of Shakespeare in Love invades Lucas as he takes on film school. There is not much explanation as to why this movie short is so good with the reason being it would ruin the viewing experience. All I can say is if you like George Lucas or loathe him, you will enjoy this.

Wow, this movie was great! One of the best short films I've ever seen, made by obvious true Star Wars fans. I'd like to see this movie inspire a bigger movie at the box office.... with the same actors... who were rather... excellent. Very good work for such a short movie. I only wish it was longer, and less compact... but it's still great. I mean, you gotta consider the fact that it's an indie flick and they don't have an endless pool of cash.But yeah, I suggest seeing this. Another great indi star wars film is "Troops" which is just so professional. If you have trouble finding these films at your local video store, search for it with KaZaa or some other file-sharing utility. That's how I got to see it.Overall, a 10/10, well deserved. Come on George, finance these guys to make a big movie!!!!!!!
