It's difficult to top Two-Ness, and House Wars, a parody of "The Real World"-type reality shows, doesn't. This is okay.

The opening crawl looks terrible (this is not okay) but is a funny read. Then we see Darth Vader in a bathrobe. This is instant comedy. Star Wars characters eating breakfast together = funny. Yes. The audio mixing here needs work, though.

Yoda is impressive for a simple spoof. Leia (played nicely by Amy Thomas) delivers a comic monologue with charm and grace.

The television viewing is good for a laugh (again, Yoda steals the show).

Han's section falls flat, unfortunately. It's simply too obvious. From then on, the movie simply starts to run out of steam. Collection-of-joke movies are hard to pull off.

Yoda makes this work. See it just for him.
