    • 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 (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.
