I actually downloaded the version I got for the dielucasdie site. So I suppose that was the completed version?

If that is the case, then I'd have to say it is very lousy film making. Basically using the term "experimental" to mean poorly edited and unfinished. The version I saw has actors asking for their lines, and multiple takes of the same scenes. It honestly feels like a project a lot of hard work and time went into, and then they lost interest, said screw it and called it good. If the DVD version actually was a real completed film, I'd probably buy it. But the commentary tracks are the same length as the version I saw, so I guess the DVD version is the same thing.

I actually thought it had some potential. You were right in saying that it really uses and abuses the SW theme. The trailer makes it sound like some perverse film where a trio of kids decide to take off and go kill Lucas, where the actually film (or the 145 minute mess I saw anyway) was far better grounded than that, and was really about growing up. Making that awkward transition from childhood to adulthood. The character of Mark felt like he could fit right in at this community.
