Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

The prompt for this week is a bit meta: “parodies and paraphrases”. Do you know of any media that parody Star Wars, or maybe contrast with SW in the sense of “wait, no, let me do it better”? Movies, comedy skits, illustration, books… I’m sure there has to be a lot after so many years.

If you want to share fanfic, this would be a great moment for crack, crossovers, or heavy worldbuilding alterations.

(Prompt suggested by [personal profile] fleurviolette. If any of you have a topic you’d like to talk about, let me know!)

It's been forever (maybe since the 90s?) since I've seen it, but Spaceballs is the classic SW parody! And its critique of the merchandising has only grown stronger...

I actually watched Spaceballs before I got into any Star Wars! And yes, it's the classic SW parody and funny.

Spaceballs is a classic! Yesss! The scene where they literally comb the desert cracks me up.

My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later
Now he’s just a small fry
Left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Singing soon I’m gonna be a Jedi

My favorite bad lip reading video remains Yoda’s Stop It Seagull song.

Robot Chicken has done some fun Star Wars episodes. You can find all the skits on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZMmbYUi_dg&list=PLACBB157C8DE5B884

This one is my favorite, as it has some priceless lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F1d3QWsyk0&list=PLACBB157C8DE5B884&index=16
