The funniest spoof I have ever seen:

Star Wars: A Lost Hope
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Wow, now I don't need to see the actual movie. :smile: That was hilarious--I especially like the poop-head sketch, which would cause major intergalactic war between many morons.
 
"A boob?"... "You swing too hard!"

Classic. I'm not usually a fan of the spoofs, but that one had me laughing.
 
Nuts! I got a 'low system memory' message and couldn't load the video. I figure it's better to wait until I can see it instead of just listening to it now. How much space does it take? I've got 95meg onboard and 150meg virtual.
 
You can download the wmv. It's about 8.5 meg.

No I can't. It appears to be a Mac-unfriendly site. No memory message this time, but the player that came up is one that I've run into before and it never shows the video part of a clip. As for trying to save it, it says to right click. Unless there's some key/mouse combination that I don't know about, I can't do it with a 1-button mouse.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. :smile:
