My rating: 8/10

Will I watch it again? YES!!!

This one took me by surprise. When I heard the premise a couple of years ago it sounded goofy and potentially fun. I had no idea it was as clever and geekily hysterical it really was. I enjoyed the hell out of it. There are in-jokes for STAR WARS fans all over the place and they even have some fun at the expense of some Trekkers but if you're one of them, don't worry because you'll get one howlingly huge laugh from a brilliantly funny cameo by a certain someone who turns out to be integral to the plot. I about pissed myself. It's as good as the surprise cameo in ZOMBIELAND (2009). Don't watch the trailer if you want it to stay a surprise. I didn't know going into it and I about pissed myself with laughter when he showed up. STAR WARS fans, especially those of us who were there from the very beginning in '77 will eat this shit up and come back for seconds.
