And then get bored. And then begin fast forwarding until the very end. Thankfully the movie clocks in at a merciful forty five minutes in length; the rest of the film is all a lot of shots and scenes infringing on so many copyrights that it\u2019s both impressive and moronic.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>About ninety percent of the animated material is based around a lot of sex scenes and a ton of graphically detailed scenes featuring threesomes and anal sex. Isn\u2019t it ironic that most of the animated movie\u2019s animation is so god awful and lazy, but minute scenes like bulging penises and Busty Princess Leia\u2019s body are so meticulously detailed? There really is no narrative to the movie. It\u2019s just a lot of running around and mimicking scenes from the original \u201cStar Wars,\u201d as the crew behind it try to look for any excuse to feature graphic sex. It\u2019s the same premise of Lucas\u2019 film, except Leia is a busty Sailor Moon, Han Solo is a horny Goku from \u201cDragon Ball Z,\u201d and Chewbacca is a furry Howard Stern (?). I assume that makes sense. Also in what I guess was their own way of sticking it to \u201cthe man,\u201d Darth Vader is an impotent warlord who dons Mickey Mouse ears.<\/p>\n<p>You have to admit it is prophetic in its own way. That\u2019s about all the credit I\u2019ll give \u201cStar Ballz.\u201d When the animated movie has nowhere to go it lifts whole scenes and dialogue from other movies. Watch Busty Leia slide around on a floor of lasers a la Catherine Zeta Jones, and Goku even slides in to a toilet a la \u201cTrainspotting.\u201d Who cares if it makes sense? Either way, \u201cStar Ballz\u201d is a heinous waste of time, and in spite of barely clocking in at fifty minutes, you\u2019ll find yourself exercising the forward button. If you\u2019re wondering why Lucas Film sued the crew behind \u201cStar Ballz,\u201d among every other bit of warped unfunny numbskullery, the movie ends on Jar Jar Binks giving fellatio to George Lucas. No, seriously. Someone thought that\u2019d be funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2001 anime spoof of \u201cStar Wars\u201d is so stuffed with inexplicable nonsense, you\u2019ll likely get a few laughs out of if in the first ten minutes.
