A 2009 film, set in late [[The Nineties|1998]], about a bunch of highly devoted [[Star Wars]] fans who break into [[George Lucas]]'s Skywalker Ranch to steal a print of [[The Phantom Menace]]. It is essentially a [[Road Movie]], factoring in how they plan on infiltrating the filmmaking fortress and other, more benign or traditional, mishaps.
Despite the characters being specifically die-hard ''[[Star Wars]]'' fans (who like to mock ''[[Star Trek]]'' fans), the movie is a tribute to the fandom of every pop culture phenomenon in all their incarnations, including [[Fan Dumb]], [[Unpleasable Fanbase]], [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] and everything else.
Not to be confused with [[Fanboys (webcomic)|the web comic of the same name]], or the trope [[Fan Boy]].
