Pretty Much The Best Thing Ever...

I stumbled onto this gem via Benjamin Sarlin's column @ The Daily Beast. If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a real treat:



Apparently, it's the brainchild of a Milwaukee-based filmmaker named Mike Stoklasa. Keep in mind, this is only the first installment of a seven-part, seventy-minute series and focuses solely on how pathetically weak the characters are. I have actually seen the entire thing and, believe me, it's well worth watching (assuming you like Star Wars).

In a way, the frustration and disappointment expressed in Stoklasa's film reflects the collective frustration and disappointment many of us feel towards the last ten years in general; an over-hyped decade that most would agree sucked even worse than The Phantom Menace. And I don't say that lightly.
