Star Warped

One million Gollancz parodies already sold. Surely there's no need to parody Star Wars? Wrong.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a really quite good SF film, a sort of western in space, was launched. The special effects were pretty shoddy but it did have some quite good actors in it. And Mark Hammill. A second and third film that were actually the fifth and sixth films followed and they weren't quite so good, but they were still quite fun (especially when the teddies got blasted by the stormtroopers).

Then, the first, second and third films followed and they were actually fairly dreadful, though by now the special effects were much better. And the actors were still better than average too. And Mark Hammill was too old to be in it plus his characters hadn't been born yet so that was ok.

A Gollancz parody was inevitable. And here it is. An epic told in six chapters. An epic of good versus evil. Of dark versus light. Of hairy co-pilots and green gurus. Of bizarre hairstyles, steel bras and camp robots. An epic that starts in the middle. And that's the original!
