I'm actually giddy like a school girl to go see this!
See the Wiki article here.
Supposedly to be released by January of 2008.

Really, i remember hearing Scott Mosier on Smodcast, last year talking about how he was finishing the editing for the theatrical release. I think it has potential, but these buddy movies usually dont fair to well in the numbers department, eh
From comic con:
Fanboy's...,where is it?
Originally, this movie was about some star wars fans who try to see, The Phantom Menace, before it is released because one of their friends is terminally ill with cancer and there is a good chance he wont live long enough for the premiere. The cancer concept was frowned upon and many many re-edits were ordered by the Weinstein company to tone down the cancer aspect. This explains why the original release date for the winter of 2006 was pushed back, but now in late 2008 the movie has been finished for many months, yet still sits in the can. Why is this movie taking so long to be released?
Considering that George Lucas himself approved of the original cut, including the cancer plot point. Do you think there was any justifiable reason for the Weinsteins to demand so many re-shoots and does this worry you about the quality of the final product?
A new trailer..
