In 1998 three movies started production which shared a common theme, a trip to visit Skywalker Ranch. The movies: 'Fanboys', 'die Lucas die' and ''77' all take a different perspective on the trip. Fascinated by the circumstances which gave rise to these projects, i've put forth a series of questions to each of the writers to see how their experiences went.

I'll post the answers as they come in.

First to reply is Mr. Schober who's film 'die LUCAS die', in my opinion is the ESB of the Ranch Journey Trilogy. Learn how 'Bottle Rocket' opened a door to independent film making, figure out if you are 'extra crispy' or 'original recipe', how narrative lost out to self expression, and what kicks Star Wars' ass.

(there's also trailers for each of the films, if your unfamiliar.)
Look out for Mr. Schober's new film 'The Crab' which is in the festival circuit.
a dark comedy featuring a guy with ectrodactyly (lobster boy syndrome) who falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend.

In English, this German film is called 'The Lucas, The.'
Now where have I heard that before?
Oh yeah...
Like you know about the Simpsons, Frink!
I don't think Skywalker Ranch actually existed in the period '77 takes place in...
Where were you in '77?
It sounds better than "Warehouse in Van Nuys"
Yeah I stretched the idea when linking these three films, good catch. Don't know what '77 calls the place, it might be 'Warehouse in Van Nuys' or ILM something. Either way hope the movie comes out.

But the warehouse had parties! And a waterslide! ;)

It had to have been the best little warehouse in Van Nuys.
