That's a thread for Documentaries on SW lines and fandom. 'Star Wait' falls into that category, since it's about the AotC lines in hollywood.

Fanboys (which will be on DVD soon but is making it's way in theaters, every week it's in a new city) is a traditional comedy which used Star Wars as it's base. How much the producer/writer of the movie was a 'fan' of Star Wars is debateable. It seems more like a typical comedy to me then a fan made movie. it's fairly generic and spends alot of time on traditional cliche 'humour' things like Star Wars vs Star Trek.

but i'm biased because i apprecate the other 'were going to break into Skywalker Ranch movie' "die LUCAS die" which was conceived at the same time as 'Fanboys' but was not studio produced. It's more experimental and really uses/abuses the Star Wars as a vehicle to gain viewership. It's a difficult movie. The fact that these two movies exist is more interesting then either one.
