Set in the suburban Midwest of 1998, "Fanboys" follows a group of obsessive "Star Wars" fans who hit the road to the San Francisco Bay Area with a plot to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch and to steal an unreleased copy of "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace."
"Fanboys" is directed by Kyle Newman and stars Jay Baruchel (the least-narcissistic character from "Tropic Thunder" and the goofy boxer Danger in "Million Dollar Baby"), Sam Huntington (TV's "Cavemen"), Chris Marquette (TV's "Joan of Arcadia"), Dan Fogler ("Balls of Fury") and "Gossip Girl" Kristen Bell (the title character in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall").
Kristen Bell keeps it fresh in a Jenni Kayne leather motorcycle jacket.
At the premiere, Kristen proved she’d become quite the Star Wars fangirl herself, at least when it came to everyone’s favorite Wookie. As she shared with the San Francisco Chronicle on who she’d go to prom with (choices were Boba Fett, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian): “I would accept Chewie’s invite. Because he makes me laugh, and he looks like he’s a great cuddler.”
Asked about her favorite memory from the set, the 28-year-old replied, “Well, my least favorite memory would have to be the scene in which Hutch (Fogler) was scraping his toe jam off on the bed and flicking it at me. Because it was not prop toe jam.
