For real fans of “Star Wars” this is borderline sacrilegious as it dares to poke fun at the characters and storylines from most of the nine movies. Nothing is off limits from the “Aluminium Falcon” to “Admiral Akbar” and his very own brand of nutritious breakfast cereal. There are special performances from the cantina band; the Emperor is at his most imperious - builders permitting, and “Jar Jar Binks” proves that there really is no end to his talents to annoy and irritate. It goes off on a George W. Bush tangent that didn’t work so well, but otherwise these are quite an irreverent and enjoyable series of parodies of all things from a galaxy ”not far enough away”. The stop motion animation looks like it’s bringing the action toys I had at the time to life and it rollicks along for twenty minutes casting aspersions that, for me at any rate, culminated in a scene with “Leia” and “Luke” that was, as they put it, “so wrong”. Good fun.
