Like, may the force be with you and stuff...

Oh... my... god... like, when I first saw this, I was all like "this is really cool", and I had to tell my friends and they were all "whoa", and I was all "didn't I tell you?" and they were all "this is really cool", and I was all "I told you."

Something tells me the fabled Valley of the Jedi is home to the galaxy's biggest mall, and has produced this Valley Girl X-wing pilot.  This comical short re-imagines the legendary Death Star run from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, by plopping the classic stereotypical valley girl into an X-wing and letting the fun just happen.

This short is one of the funniest I've seen, and Stokes, the director, has taken great pains to add effects that are sure to make Atomfilms contest managers to question if he used actual footage.  He's done a wonderful job modelling the ships and creating the atmosphere of the original run.

The jokes are fresh and funny and you gotta feel sorry for that droid. Stokes has a winner here, no doubt.

The parody subgenre imitates, exaggerates, and satirizes the style, themes, characters, or conventions of another work, genre, or cultural phenomenon. Parodies often involve taking well-known elements from the original source and presenting them in a humorous and exaggerated manner to create a comedic effect.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
