Jedi Knight5-25-77 is supposed to be based on the real life experiences of a young man who was so inspired by Star Wars, he sets off on a journey to meet the people that made it, and ends up at a certain converted warehouse in Van Nuys, California. It will be interesting to see what bits of Star Wars are glimpsed in the film. Since it's set in 1977, you can't simply throw the special edition in there.
I hadn't heard of this movie till you guys started talking about it - sounds interesting. Good point about the scenes that will (or won't) show up.

Hopeless Situation WarriorThey showed the entire movie at C4. It was the latest rough cut with unfinished special effects, but complete for the most part. I really enjoyed it.
Basically, the movie is about a high school kid from a small town in Illinois who gets the chance of a lifetime when he flies out to Hollywood to meet the special effects supervisor from the movie 2001. When he gets there, the guy isn't available but he ends up on the set of Close Encounters and gets to meet the then-unknown Steven Spielberg. (The actor playing the young Spielberg is such a great look-a-like btw.) He then gets to tour ILM and, as luck would have it, happens to be there to see a preview of an unfinished version of Star Wars (no soundtrack, no special effects). He goes back to school and tries to get all his friends to go see Star Wars on opening day.
Overall I thought the movie was very entertaining. It's not so much about Star Wars as it is about a young aspiring filmmaker whose perspective on life changed after seeing a weird sci-fi movie. The film is based on the true story of Patrick Read Johnson (writer/director) who saw the rough cut of Star Wars and ended up moving out to California and joining ILM as a model maker after he graduated high school.
The only real Star Wars stuff in the movie is the original teaser trailer (Pat and his friends see it in the theater before another movie), and a scene where Pat gets a quick tour of the ILM studio. It is of course a re-make of the studio, not old footage. But it is really cool to see this kid walking past tables full of X-Wing and Tie Fighter models. I can't remember if they showed any footage of the actual unfinished film that he gets to see, but I want to say yes.
