I ain't gonna waste a lot of time with introductions on this one. You know why you're here. So, here they come!

| Family Guy Trilogy |
I'm not gonna say much about this one because it already gets a lot of publicity. I personally don't enjoy the Family Guy TV show, but their Star Wars specials are goddam funny. I do hope they make spoofs of the prequel trilogy too. There's a lot to work with there.
10. Troops
One of the earliest funny videos on the internet, Troops was a parody of both Star Wars and COPS at the same time. Fucking brilliant.
9. Thumb Wars
A re-imagining of A New Hope with thumbs for characters. It was pretty darn clever at the time, but then they did a dozen other thumb flicks that weren't so good.
8. The Star Wars Holiday Special
You've heard about this one... it really does exist... I have a copy... it killed my old DVD player... and it was made by Lucasfilm. I've included the Holiday Special on this list because George Lucas pretends like it doesn't exist, so it's almost like he allowed himself to be spoofed by himself.

| Star Wars XXX |
Same style as Family Guy, but 4 times funnier.
6. Buzz Lightyear vs Zurg
Not the best moment of Toy Story 2 but probably one of the most memorable. It was so predictable, but nobody seemed to see it coming... *spoiler*... Zurg is Buzz's father!
5. Hot Shots Part Deux
Somewhere in the last fifteen minutes of this Charlie Sheen flick the President of the USA has an epic lightsaber battle with Sadam Hussein... and they even directly quote Vader and Kenobi.
4. Pirates of the Caribbean
The first couple Pirates flicks are just clear rip-offs of Star Wars. A princess needs saving... a shy pretty boy is up to the task... he falls in cahoots with a pirate that all the girls like... the pretty boy's dad is really alive and hangs out with the bad guys... the pirate's fate is in question at the end of the second movie... it's all there... just look for it.
3. Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody
I'm not going to give away too much about this one, or how much I actually paid attention to it, but the acting IS better than anything in Episode 1... and the special effects weren't bad either. And for the record, Han shoots first.

| Muppet Babies |
Most consider it to be the ultimate Star Wars homage. And to this day it's still all kinds of hilarious. It was the first movie I ever taped off the movie network with my parent's VCR (kids, asks your parents what that was). Rick Moranis gives his second-best performance ever in this movie (first being Ghostbusters), and the laughs just don't stop.
1. Muppet Babies
Remember that episode of Muppet Babies where they do Star Wars? You should, because it was the greatest achievement in the history of western culture.
Goodnight!
