YOU KNOW OF THE REBELLION AGAINST THE EMPIRE?!

First the news of our boycott makes the New York Post, and now Vanity Fair!

Here's the link: Revenge of the Star Wars Nerds by Julian Sancton

Our next target? The New York Times.

There's no way Darth Weinstein can repel press coverage of this magnitude!

So far, the only official word from the Weinstein Co. has been this quote from the NY Post article:

Countered a Weinstein spokesperson: "We are thrilled to see all this great interest and excitement for 'Fanboys.' While a potential conflict like this has not occurred since Luke last walked into that bar in Tatoonie, everyone can be assured that there has been no stir in the force and the film stays on target."

Huh? You guys call an unprecedented international boycott of your studio "great interest and excitement?" That's all your PR droid has to say on the subject? A few incorrectly worded Star Wars references?

Well, we've got news for you, Lord Weinstein. There has been a great disturbance (not a "stir") in the Force! Millions of voices are crying out in terror... about your attempt to ruin FANBOYS. (Some of them are probably your shareholders!)

If you want the worldwide boycott of all your movies to continue, then yes, by all means... Stay on target.  Continue with your sinister plan to release a screwed-up dumbed-down version of FANBOYS.

But if you do, you should be aware that the first causality in this rebellion will be your opening weekend grosses for Superhero Movie.

Word of the rebellion is spreading!

I could take on the whole Empire myself!

STOP DARTH WEINSTEIN

of angry Star Wars fans who don't want to see FANBOYS,
the first and only feature film about Star Wars fans,
ruined by a greedy movie studio who has no
respect for its target audience! We are in no way
affiliated with the filmmakers or with the
the Weinstein Company (obviously).
