    • Trivia
      A preview cut of this film was shown at "Star Wars Celebration IV" in Los Angeles. Appropriately enough, it was shown on 5-25-2007, the 30th anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). After ten more years of additional work on the film, the nearly final cut, of the work-in-progress, was test-screened, in 32 theaters, on 5-25-17, the 40th anniversary of the original release of Star Wars. The finished film is scheduled for worldwide release, beginning in late summer, 2021.
    • Goofs
      Some shots show the characters driving on Gurnee, IL roads where Six Flags Great America's "American Eagle" wooden roller coaster can be prominently seen in the background.

      The movie is set in 1977, but the American Eagle did not open until the 1981 season.
    • Quotes

      Pat: The Death Star could take out the Enterprise with one shot.

      Jenny: The Enterprise has deflector shields!

    • Alternate versions
      Versions of the film were screened on the festival circuit in 2008 and 2013 but additional scenes were filmed in 2015 and 2016, to be incorporated into the version released in 2017. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-25-77

    The best movie of the year : 2022
    Finally, the long wait is over.

    Just as it is listed at the first place easily in the list of the longest-running productions in the world with its production time (18 years!), it is also ranked the first place in my list of the best films of this year .

    If you like 2001 A Space Odyssey , Star Wars movies and If you are in love with Alan Parsons Project , 10cc , Ambrosia music , this movie is just for you. Definitely watch, rent, purchase, add to your archive. Plus, the songs were carefully selected for the scenes and integrated perfectly into the movie. We were crying while smiling for well over two hours. An immortal classic.
