Synopsis

Three months in the making, the dreaded sophomore follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's Star Wars features not only a high octane disco soundtracks, vintage Kenner action figures, but also sets made out of Legos and boxing Godzilla and Nun puppets from Archie McPhee's.

Buzz

"... **** ... not including the price of a Macintosh and software, this film's budget looked to be about $7.99 ... yet Evan Mather's work is a low-res tour-de-force involving Kenner Star Wars action figures, a boxing Godzilla doll, and yes, disco ... this is a brilliant deconstruction of the Lucas trilogy, and reveals that percolating just beneath the surface sparkle of gee-whiz futurism lies barely suppressed homoeroticism, religion, violence, and bad dancing ... Yoda explodes - what more do you want? ...",
Film Threat

"Disco star Lando Calrissian has a few secrets: he and Admiral Ackbar are having a "relationship", and while he pretends to be straight he has quite an attraction for men. However, soon his disco spot is under threat from the legendary Japanese monster Godzilla. Lobot sends an urgent distress call, and soon Lando and the Rebel Alliance in their Y-Wings has assembled to battle the giant mutant. Lando is in charge along with Obi Wan Kenobi. When the ships' weapons seem useless against Gojira, Lando gets a bright idea and straps dynamite to Yoda, kicking him into the monster's mouth, but when he detonates it all he gets is a flaming burp from Godzilla."

"Mini-spoofs are all the rage these days, but this one dates back to 1998 and is sheer classic. It has a disco version of Lando Calrissian, Admiral Ackbar and Obi Wan Kenobi dealing with life, love and a Y-Wing fighter battle with the king of monsters, Godzilla. Yoda gets strapped with dynamite and tries to take out the monster Jaws-style, by leaping into Godzilla's mouth; the results are fruitless leaving nothing but a flaming burp."
