As Luke points out, there is no shortage of Star Wars parodies, each generally more asinine than the next. This one, though, must be noted — not for it's message, though it is a good, if not particularly sexy message, but for it's sheer awful pun density. I honestly can't recall when I've come across a greater concentration of ghastly plays-on-words.

It's also a good illustration of two other principles:
1) Some people seem to have an amazing amount of free time and/or money, and
2) No matter how much free time and/or money you have, it's really hard to make buying organic sound like fun. It still sounds like nagging.

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with this stuff. That's what worries me — I'm on board and it still sounds like nagging.

What we really need to employ to get people to care about what they eat is fear, not funny. Once we start getting a lot of mutant, asarcastic children who can't smell or turn to the left running around, people will wise up.

Love the puns. I was the Prince of Pun in Junior High....

My favorite line though, was when Darth Tater tells Cuke Skywalker, "I am your father" and Cuke goes, "That's really impossible."
