There are good satire comedies and then there are bad satire comedies. This is one of the bad ones. With little left to recognize from star wars in the film and probably the worst physical humor ever demonstrated on screen, this isn't sillyThere are good satire comedies and then there are bad satire comedies. This is one of the bad ones. With little left to recognize from star wars in the film and probably the worst physical humor ever demonstrated on screen, this isn't silly it's just stupid. I remember laughing when I was younger at this film, guess its only funny to five year olds because this was a complete waste of time! Expand

Charmless, boring and unfunny. It's ninety minute running time feels like two and a half hours. The only memorably amusing moment was the "virgin alarm".

A quite poor spoof in terms of the jokes you can put on star wars, breaking the fourth wall often works in spoofs but in this case, no.....it's a shame because the film was funny to begin with until dark helmet appeared.

I will make my explination brief: Mel Brooks made a Star Wars spoof 10 years following its release (and 8 or 9 after the time was appropriate). he spun a yarn about unintimidating people-looking aliens, commandeered by Rick Moranis and Mel himself, that wanted to steal another planet's air, the princess of which was getting married. She runs away with her dumpy-looking feminist robot and escapes with a loner in a Winnebago and his uninspired Mawg; parts man and canine. stuff about Yogurt, Semitic master of the Schwartz and cynical marketing, is said; we see a repulsive pizza-resembling monster; Mel shows his lack of faith in the material with riffs of other sci-fi (and, in the one gag saving this from a goose egg rating, Michigan J. Frog), the production value is rock-bottom; the whole thing is unfunny and ends with a twist I didn't care enough about to see coming; for the time being, Star Wars was dead, and Mel Brooks was holding the smoking lightsaber.
