PA Wars • Duel of the Fakes

review written 2/23/2003

These reviews apply to the Special Edition.

One of the long-standing comedy classics of fan films, this series works primarily because of its acting. (How often do you hear that?) But it's true. The Drunks with Sticks make it all happen. The opening, set to "Stayin' Alive", sets the tone, and Spone's heart-to-heart chats with the most famous Yoda of all fan films are just plain good stuff. There's some nifty camera work, too—how do you like that opening shot of DOTF?

Oh, and you'll never see double-bladed lightsabers in quite the same way, either.

We've got appropriate locations, a nifty rooftop battle and a good credits sequence on both ends.

This film is a little over-hyped. It's not the funniest thing ever. But it's fun.
