Finally, February 6 is the date for the much-awaited movie about the Star Wars fanboys who break into Skywalker Ranch to torture George Lucas for doing the prequels. OK, it’s not about that. I wish.

Fanboys will open in the following cities:

• Austin TX

• Houston, TX

• Chicago, IL

• Los Angeles, CA

• New York, NY

• Philadelphia, PA

• San Francisco, CA

• Seattle, WA

Set in 1998, the story tells of a group of friends who, anxious for the premiere of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace – and because one of them is suffering from cancer and wishes to see the film before his death – decide to break into Skywalker Ranch and steal an early print of the film. A road trip begins as the friends encounter William Shatner, obsessed Trekkies, and bikers who make them undress for water.
