Summary: Just not very amusing
Review: I'm sorry, I just felt like this flick was one joke told again and again for about twenty minutes. I think it would be more amusing as a concept you share with your friends at a bar one evening, but as a completed short film...you should probably borrow it, as opposed to renting or buying.

Summary: DON'T LISTEN TO THE ONE-STAR PEOPLE
Review: This short film is a parody between Shakespeare in Love and Star Wars. The main plot is about young George Lucas in college and he's trying to come up with a great screenplay. Throughout his daily activities, we see where he gets his inspiration. Even though I didn't see Shakespeare in Love, I was still able to get most of the jokes. This is a VERY funny film and is worth watching over and over again. If you're a Star Wars fan, you might also want to try Hardware Wars.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: As a Star Wars fan, I wasn't sure what to expect from this short film. Buying it more on a whim than for any other reason, I popped it in the VCR and promptly laughed so hard that I nearly fell out of my chair! The worst thing about the film is that it is so short, the best thing is that it is short enough that you can go back and watch it over and over in order to catch the lines and nuances you'll miss while laughing so hard. This film imaginatively captures the genesis of every Star Wars character and does a wonderful job of showing a "plausible" reason for George Lucas to have created his masterpiece. Star Wars fanatics and casual fans alike will enjoy this extremely well done short film. In my opinion, it would make a great addition to any video collection.

Summary: Most entertaining short that I've seen in a long time!
Review: Wow! During the 9 minute span of this short film, these folks were able to throw in every Star Wars/Lucas joke possible (even the low-blow "Howard the Duck" joke before the credits). "George Lucas In Love" is some wildly funny and entertaining stuff! The character swaps keep the humor moving, yet the nice production gives the film a professional gloss.For people who are still uncertain about plucking down some cash for a 9 minute DVD, the extra shorts appearing on the film are fairly entertaining as well! "Evil Hill" and "Swingers" are slightly less affective than the feature, but very funny nonetheless. "Film Club" was just. . . silly! The tons of extras included also add to the viewer's entertainment factor.

Summary: Well worth the money
Review: The sentiment of "why buy it when you can download it for free?" isn't even close to being valid here. It's just not possible to appreciate the excellent production and effort that went into this short on a jumpy computer screeen. This is a real film, worthy of a full-size theater. Lacking that, your TV is the next best thing. Even if you already have the VHS, you won't regret buying the DVD. It's not just the lovely print and sound of the title short, but the copious extras which make this DVD a real bargain. The background and commentary on George Lucas in Love is great, though much of the information is repeated in various forms. Still, it's fun to know how this short came about, and to realize it was truly a professional production all the way around. The additional short films are great to have as well, though you can tell their budgets are far smaller than that of GLIL! Swing Blade is laugh-out-loud funny, but the Film Club short is not to be overlooked. It's a spot-on parody of the Fight Club trailer--the detail is perfect, right down to Brad Pitt's gestures and Edward Norton's expressions. Any fan of Fight Club (and if you have a DVD player you MUST have a copy of Fight Club, right?) will get a big kick out of it. The Evil Hill parody--despite a terrific Dr. Evil impression by Timothy Dowling--is slow and uninspired. This is the guy who thought a live-action Rugrats movie would be a good idea. Mr. Dowling is clearly talented, but judging from this work he needs to stay friends with people who can tell him when his ideas stink. Come to think of it, George Lucas could use a bit of that kind of help as well.

Summary: Additional features
Review: Get this disc not only for the amusing title featurette, but for the additional included items - especially the Sling Blade/Swingers parody, which is the funniest.

Summary: Hilarious, worth seeing a thousand times.
Review: This parody on "Shakespeare in Love" mixed with "Star Wars" is an excellent job of filmwork at its best. George Lucas has writer's block at the worst possible time, he needs a script to pass film school! Inspiration is gone and he must find his muse to get the creative juices flowing again. Fortunately, the script for "Star Wars" is all about him, he only needs to open his eyes and see it. The only problem with this short - is that it is too short. You will have to watch this about 10 times in a row just to fill your thirst for it. This will leave you laughing every time. The DVD is well done, but the rest of the shorts on the DVD are merely OK. The extras are nice and really worth watching.

Summary: Attention all people who hate this movie: READ THIS!
Review: After reading the customer reviews of this fantastic short film, I find it amazing that the ones who violently depise it fail to realize one simple fact: This is NOT A STAR WARS PARODY! It is a SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE parody! Okay?!?! All the Star Wars fans who dissed this film for making "hackneyed Star Wars references" for no reason at all do not realize that the references are not STAR WARS references, they are references to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. It doesn't surprise me at all that a healthy chunk of Star Wars fans haven't seen or even know what SHAKESPEARE is about. I guess if a movie doesn't have action figures made from it or can't be found at one of those insipid sci-fi conventions, then it must not be worth watching, huh? Let's also keep in mind these are liekly the same morons who gave good reviews to PHANTOM MENACE. Yikes.

Summary: Too funny for words!
Review: This film manages to parody Shakespeare in Love AND Star Wars in an astonishinly small eight or nine minutes. And I laughed the whole time! I don't recommend this if you haven't seen the films...or if you're such a rabid fan that you cannot put up with people making fun of the Star Wars characters. Basically, every character shows up in a "college-campus alter-ego." From a drugged-out hippie (Obi-Wan) to Lucas's athsmatic black-clad neighbor (guess who) nearly everyone from the trilogy is included. And of course, the end is more twisted than his girlfriend's Princess Leia hairdo!

Summary: One of the best parodies!
Review: I've seen other Star Wars parodies, and this one is up there with the best of them, not only parodying Star Wars, but 1999 Best Picture Shakespeare in Love. It is well researched into Lucas' undergraduate life at USC, and even references 2 of his student films. It also captures even the littlest and obscure Star Wars references. A short film in 8 minutes, it's worth the admission price!
