In Killing Jar Jar, Mark and Julian are two losers spending the entire "historic" day of May 9, 1999 waiting to buy a ticket for "Star Wars I: The Phantom Menance." Convinced they are about to witness a moment of cinematic history, they put up with the strange looks from passersby, the distain of their girlfriends and incredible boredom. But the question remains - is it really worth it?

Elias Toufexis and Andrew Farrar wrote and star in Killing Jar Jar. Farrar directs.
