As the home of many classic Star Wars Fan Movies, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let you all know that Fanboys, a love letter to all of you… well… fanboys, is premiering on Comedy Central this Saturday. So grab a turkey (or Bantha, or whatever) sandwich from the fridge, and prepare to travel to a time well before we knew what the prequels held.

Watch the trailer below, then check out the rest when Fanboys makes its network television premiere this Saturday at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Last night a crowd of filmmakers, performers and fans gathered at San Diego Comic Con for the award ceremony of the 2011 Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. Throughout the evening, we looked back on years of hard work and fan devotion. Awards were given to filmmakers from all over the country, as people were reminded of what an awesome community they’ve become a part of.

The second to last episode of a TV show is always kind of sucky, right? It’s not the finale, but it’s impossible to view it as a regular episode of the show. Well, this is the second to last time that I write one of these blogs, so I’ll save the sentimentality for next week*. Hit the jump to see who’s won the big cash, the big prizes, and the big chance to be on Comedy-mother-lovin’-Central.

*The Tournament’s final week is May 9th – 15th, so get your videos in now before it’s too late to win!
