The European Premiere took place at SCI-FI-LONDON 4 Though a Star Wars fan as a child, life holds no magic or adventure for Woody Garrison (Joe Urban). Divorced and working two jobs to pay medical bills for his terminally ill son, Star Wars is now just a movie. Only at the request of his son (Scott Heffern II) does he set off with his childhood buddy, Hank (Jim Peterson), on a quest to find filmmaker George Lucas (George Starkey) and convince him to continue making Star Wars movies. Through a series of mishaps, Woody and Hank accidentally kidnap Lucas and allow the script for Episode III to fall into the hands of an unbalanced fan (Scott C. Sendelweck), a murderous producer and a certain Dark Lord portraying actor (Dave Prowse). To his surprise, Woody finds himself in the middle of a great adventure with the fate of the Star Wars movie-making empire hanging in the balance. We loved it. The production values leave a lot to be desired and it could do with a good edit, but we have not laughed so much in a long time! We were honoured to have the director, producers and Dave Prowse in attendance at the premiere.

The World Premiere of the digital restored version took place at SCI-FI-LONDON 6 A global war begins in 1940 and lasts many decades. Most people still alive - mostly those born after the war started - do not even know who started it or why. Society has broken down into primitive localised communities. In 1966 a great plague wipes out most of what people are left but small numbers still survive. One day a strange aircraft lands at one of these communities and its pilot tells of an organisation which is slowly rebuilding civilization. Great reconstruction takes place over the next few decades and society is once again great and strong. The world's population is now living in underground cities. In the year 2035, on the eve of man's first flight to the moon, a popular uprising against progress - which some people claim has caused the wars of the past - gains support and becomes violent. Director: William Cameron Menzies Country: UK (1936) Language: English Runtime: 92 mins DVD available from Network DVD.http://www.sci-fi-london.com/2007web/moviepages/thingstocome.html
