STAR WARS Flick About Fans, 5-25-77 TRAILER Romantically Geeky!

5-25-77 is a flick about the day the original (the real number one) Star Wars was released and the impact it had on teen and teen alike.

Twitchfilm has the trailer and is warning us that it's a test trailer and not the finished product.
