Any of us old enough to have watched the original Star Wars trilogy in theaters probably also remember seeing Hardware Wars, a short film that should be fondly remembered as the first and most well-known of the Star Wars parodies.
The film is shot as a trailer for a fictitious movie named Hardware Wars, and includes such memorable characters as Fluke Starbucker, Oggie “Ben” Doggie, Ham Salad, Princess Anne-Droid, Darph Nader, 4Q2, Artie Decko, and Chewchilla.
The film has been split into two parts for the Internet.
Part 1
Part 2
I also included a short documentary interviewing the Hardware Wars’ producer Michael Wiese. Here is a link to Michael Wiese’s website if you wanted more information or to buy a copy of the Hardware Wars DVD.
