It was amusing. I believe it could have been better. The songs could have been better performed except for the rejected performances. The should be remade.

High D!
Annie Hills6/18/06
This one was hilarious!!!!! I mean I was crying I was laughing so hard! Especially when Luke said "join us next week for fatal performances on Tatooine like this..." Darth Vader sunburned and in shorts...I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair!!!!! Bravo, Bravo!!!!!

That was great! I wish I could really vote for Boba Fett!
Tungsten Monk4/10/06
Marvelous! The sets and set dressing could have been a bit better, but the judges were hilarious! (Boba Fett, where have you been all my life?) Watch it through to the end, folks, and don't miss the ill-fated Jawa contestant!
DarkHelmet3/2/06
those costumes were bogus, the whole thing was just flat out terrible
chelsea2/20/06
this was so funny!they really did a good job on all the stars!
Anonymous1/26/06
that was boring, stupid and just plain out terrible, one of the worst i have seen
DarthKillYou11/28/05
My friends and I did something like this for our school variety show. I, of course, was Darth Vader, a judge. We were MUCH better.
Anonymous11/20/05
That was really good! I really liked it despite the fact that I hate American Idol.
Vader58611/17/05
Han didn't look like Han and he was horrible.
Jedi Master Nate Andrew9/18/05
Dumb
Princess Leia8/10/05
the acts were good but leia and han do not break up so it was not really based of the movies. I agree with sion to it did not have enough research.
Qui Xux8/2/05
HAHA! That was pretty good! I despise American Idol, but I absolutely loved that! I do have to agree with Sion, you could have used a better argument between Han and Leia, since he never left her, but other than that, it was great!
Than Sion7/14/05
It was an interesting cross spoof. But the whole thing with Han leaving Leia with the twins was not acurate. Before you write a fan film do some resurch.
Anonymous6/17/05
Ok...the last scene got me. I laughed so hard! That's when it seemed most like American Idol, with the loser clips. Simon Cowell is my favorite judge, & it was hysterical to see Vader do a perfect sendup.
Critix5/30/05
This could have been better. I didn't like the dead silence most of the time (Baba Fetts reaction to Leia's judging) I also didn't like how slow it was, and the acting in the Han Solo scene was just too boring and slow.
Pont7Q5/17/05
This was great! American Idol might be worth watching if it were more like this (especially if the judges had lightsabers). Also, the guy who played Lando was excellent.
DARYL+D.j.5/16/05
it was great ecspeccially the part where they were in tatooine and vader pullef his saber out it was funny most of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damgoodwriter5/16/05
there is nothing bad about this one! this was very funny, and original. the costumes were a little "home made," but that added to the comedy. this is by far one of my favorets! 5 stars!
Anonymous5/3/05
If you can forgive the costumes and voices, then this is a great film. Loved the Jawa and Darth Vader/Simon Cowell
Admiral8Q4/24/05
Worth watching, has it's moments, but not that great. Would have been better as a live skit in a theater, not the best for a film.
Jeff3/13/05
better than alderanean idol and the ending awsume but oo poor jawa.
Anonymous3/3/05
Sure it's scruffy-looking, but it sure isn't bantha-fodder!
Anonymous1/27/05
good ideas especialy the Jawa!
JAWA FAN12/27/04
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL THE JAWA :'( I'M A JAWA FAN but still that was good
Heartless Cloud12/23/04

onesickwookie7/30/04
I want to see more of the Tatooine Idol if not for more Vader in a tank top and shorts!!!
Anonymous7/29/04
POOR JAWA!!! he had an awesome voice!
spook24/20/04
Really cheesy fun. If Greedo doing an Eminem style rap, Boba doing an Elvis, Han Solo doing country and Darvader impersonatong Simon Cowell is your cup of tea. Check it out. The jawa at the end deffinately steals the show at the end in my opinion. He get's my vote!
Mitchell622904/19/04
That was vey good! I like "American Idol" so that made it funnier.
UltimateKypFan4/12/04
It was cute, but I think the Vader should've had more lines...that would've made it funnier, in my opinion. But the part a the end with Vader and the Jawa was just priceless, tehehehehehehehehehehe!
Anonymous4/8/04
the end with Vader and the Jawa made it all worth it!!!!
Jonathan Bloom4/2/04
That was hilarious! Good creativity. That jawa was so funny!
Anonymous3/25/04
This is a good spoof of american idol . Vader was the funniest judge, he was a lot like Simon. I like the last part of the show where they showed rejected performance. That jawa sure had it coming. They should put an ewok on the show too.
who the hell cares3/21/04
HAHAHA but the songs should be funnier like the one the one that greedo sang plus no one Knows who the twins are but it was still very funny
bigbart3/12/04
Really, really, really, really, really, BAD.
Anonymous3/10/04
this rocks i like when vader kills the jawa
Galaxy idol3/8/04
RFLMAO!!!! This is excellent, I laughed so hard!! Han's part wasn't excellent but it was still good. LOL! Darth Vader in shorts??? He looked so funny! Oh, yes, I vote for the jawa...
ap8x3/7/04
Wow, that was really bad. It was really bad because of han solo. I was watching, but then i quit, i HATED HAN!
Adidasjedi3/5/04
This had such great potential but alas, this was not a film you should see.
Surly3/1/04
Not bad. I thought it was pretty funny. I don't understand why so many people whine about this kind of thing. They're working on a limited budget with a camcorder. They can't do much better.
Anonymous2/29/04
This is one of the WORST shorts I have ever seen. Bad singing, bad acting, bad costumes, not the least bit funny.
rowan2/28/04
Funny. I'm not a huge star wars fanatic and I still laughed.
Shawn2/25/04
it was good but i think the best part was wean they shown the jawwas
Cameraman2/20/04
Not much action, but the creators of this spoof touched on a lot of characters from Star Wars. A real Star Wars fan would get a kick out of this.
joe2/13/04
awesome and hilarious!!! great spoof
Anonymous2/12/04
It just plain blows. Period.
bb20532/9/04
hillarious
Colin2/8/04
this blows!!! can they do a worse job on the costumes? check out Bubba Fett. this is a shame and disappointment to star wars fans everywhere. Georage Lucas would sue them if he saw this!!!
Anonymous2/2/04
Wow, if only the real American Idol judges could see this, to show them how lame they really are - Great Spoof!!!
Anonymous1/31/04
bad costums, voices not even close to spoof level. A total waste of my life watching this!
Emgirl751/4/04
great i loved the spof off of Aerican idol and the judges espiesally darth vader as simon cowel very nice job
Anonymous11/15/03
really funny
bad boy11/9/03
Hee hee hee. NO no nooooooo!
blah blah blah11/8/03
that was really gufey. Not too good.
Don Kentfield11/2/03
This has to be the best reality tv/Star Wars spoof I've seen yet! My favourite part was when Vader, wearing a muscle T (LOL), gets up and angrily turns over the table and whips out his lightsaber. Just beautifully done. Way to go!!
idolfan19/24/03
Great spoof - good use of the 'star wars' characters in the American Idol setting.
goku zero9/22/03
it made me lagh my pants off
Kate9/17/03
Very funny. Having Darth Vader as the Simon character was a great idea, as was the malt liquor. Good satire.
Anonymous9/5/03
I love this film! The fact that it was obviously made on a budget of about 15 bucks only makes it funnier!
David Fett8/27/03
This is really funny. Should be checked out by everyone that goes on this site.
8/11/03
it was very good give it two thumbs up
nicer657/22/03
This stunk its so stupid it wasted about 1 min. of my life when I could have been something fun and its so bad I give 10000000000000 thumbs down
jtkimmel7/18/03
thumbs up all the way the colt .45 bottle was genius and its a real "tour de force"
7/18/03
BOO Bad taste you cannot kill cute little Jwas you have truely bad taste you should have had Vader kill Greedo Boba and Han the Jawa sang a lot better You want the best singers aewoks and Jawas see another Jawa killed you should be arrested for cruelty that was sickening even though you did not show it that was very bad taste
Amidala`7/15/03
that was so funny!!! great job!!!
she-devol7/15/03
down right funny I it 5 stars
jedimasteryoda7/12/03
Costumes tend to be off(Boba Fett), but in the end is very funny. Vader made Simon look like a school girl
ira_tron7/12/03
What? Darth just isn't the same without James Earl Jones. Not fun at all.
stylixg7/11/03
Funny, but definitely could've used a little more prep for the props and costumes.
7/11/03
this movie stunk the plot was stupid the only funny thing was when darth vader was acting like simon cowell
supermormon167/11/03
That was superrifick!
Commader Wedge Antilles7/10/03
It was terrible. The characters and props looked horrible. The only thing that kept me watching it was the fact it was funny. -Cmdr. Wedge Antilles-
7/9/03
cute. the actors were cast well as charicatures.
starwars_girl7/8/03
It was cute. I loed the Jawa.
ronseipel7/7/03
Snnoorree! I'm sorry but this is why Mr. Lucas keeps his phone number private, and most of the original cast live in Australia.
deku_dude123457/6/03
I loved it! Especially that Jawa at the end!
KwirkQT7/6/03
Next weeks episode looks better.
lhodoyan7/6/03
this film should definetly WIN! The marriage of old school mixed with new reality shows could not have been more perfect. Good Luck!
im_the_dark_side7/6/03
this is a piss of a fan film. This was my 3rd pick and i think it should be atleast top 3. But i think the little guy on tatooen should have won
black_cat3337/5/03
By far, this is my FAVOURITE of the starwars film for it's sheer greatess. I love Vader to peices!!!
7/5/03
Nice production, Looked good, I liked Lando drinking a colt 45, but the dialog between characters was mostly recycled old material. With a new script I think it would have been a thumbs up.
rosalindricci7/5/03
The partnership of Star Wars and American Idol was incredible! I want to see more.....
76cfd7/5/03
This intergalatic film was most entertaining and impressive!
Skreczi7/5/03
I vote for greedo! :)
7/4/03
kinda' creative... some funny parts
estrogenbrigade7/4/03
Did not hold my interest...have to admit that I'm not an "Idol" fan, but I would have enjoyed a good parody...this wasn't one.
kamon197/2/03
The only good part was the end when darth killed the jawa...the rest was probably the worse video I've ever seen.
timcostello7/1/03
Great stuff - love all of the detailed star wars lingo - the Colt 45 was a nice touch
7/1/03
Cute idea, poorly done. Couldn't sit through it.
Dhalgren7/1/03
lame Lame LAme LAMe LAME!
decanova6/30/03
This is a cool short. The concept and excecution show some good talent; and the actors look like the originals --- where did the filmmakers find these guys?
jochar926/30/03
it is soooo funny!
dackrendarck6/30/03
Hilarious, the Jawa sceen at the end gave it an extra boost of comedy and princess Liea in a bikini was ho.
6/30/03
Great ending, just plain hilarius. Isnt Darth Vader mostly Robot? example: arm
dvaderwannabe6/30/03
heeheehee it was so funny, i especialy liked the part with teh jawwa. Haha! thi is really kewl. Great job
festiva6/30/03
Total SNL comedy skit. The overall cheese made it fun to watch. The actors were right on!!!! Great job - it made me laugh.
scomman6/29/03
GReat idea great for a unpaid amatuer film which is something this is supposed to celebrate.
ericedwards19636/29/03
Basic concept was cute but fell flat due to a lack of energy and passion in the actors. I didn't "feel it" and wasn't drawn in. Costumes and props need work as do rehearsals, especially flat with Hahn, P. Leaha, Luke. Needs more anger and tension. Best scene was Darth attacking sandperson!! Eric
jamesbond2000876/29/03
This was a great film.I love Vader as a copy of Simon from the real show.I hate American Idol,so this really was hilarious."Boba you gotta lose some weight!"Great stuff-this has to win something!!!!!
doogie246/29/03
Hilarious movie. I was laughing my butt off through the whole thing! The way it made a lot of refrences to the Star Wars movies but was still funny and entertaining for non-Star Wars buffs was great!
Chandler6/28/03
This would have been funnier if the acts were actually able to sing and were still shot down by Vader. Sorry, I can't give your efforts a better review.
6/28/03
this fan film definitely has the power of the force!
6/28/03
it was even better the second time i watched it! really clever and obviously well-polished. kudos cashman, may the force be with you.
mujiber6/28/03
OK, the Jawa in the end made it worth it.
hiramguild6/27/03
Three words - Brilliant!
mispadre6/27/03
Cashman has amazing talent. While the acting may have been a bit suspect, the writing and editing more than made up for it. It makes me want to see more of what some of the original "auditions" were like.
gradboy6/27/03
It got better at the end!
danmccarey6/27/03
This kid seems to have some real talent. I'm anxious to see what his next projects look like. I hope that someone takes a chance on him and bank-rolls him so that we can see what he can do with a bigger budget. From the looks of this project I think this guy has unreal potential and his ceiling is yet to be determined.
6/27/03
excellent. this has definitely been one of the best fan films ive seen. great acting, hilarious spoofs. the details really make amazing.
patricoo6/27/03
That was funny. I'm reading the bad reviews and I'm amazed that anyone wouldn't like it. I'm not gonna vote for it though. sorry.
6/27/03
I liked it! The concept is hillarious, but obviously didn't have the budget of some other spoofs. It was entertaining and enjoyable. Maybe Idol Episode II can get some corp sponsors just like the real A Idol does (coke cola)
6/27/03
Pure Magic. Glad to see Billy D Williams working again! That was Billy D, right? The Jawa scene was priceless.
joe_sullivan6/27/03
I LOVED IT!!!! Had me laughing the whole time. Lots of inside jokes for the Star Wars fans. Definitely worth checking out. Go frantic man, go!
bahablaze6/27/03
funny stuff specially boba and the jawa lol
frazzeledman6/27/03
Classic Star Wars spoof!!!
bobastef6/26/03
Great concept, but could have been better, and maybe even a little longer! Still good work though, and worthy of 3 stars. Maybe an episode II coming soon?
6/26/03
I cannot believe I just wasted 8 minutes of my life on that thing!
uncle_fun16/26/03
Funny stuff! The tracking shots made it extra cheezey...just like Idol. Well done. I wanted to see more of the Tattooine stuff...thought that was the funniest...Darth in an undershirt, the Jawa with the lousy voice...and the light sabre was a great surprise. Good work, best of luck!
MC Honky6/26/03
Too long, too repetitive, and the acting is sub-standard...
dunderoo16/25/03
This is a great spoof. I love Luke Seacrest... I mean Skywalker.
6/25/03
This movie stunk. I never laughed once. The puns were tried at in the wrong place. It's a cute idea in the long run, but was poorly executed.
filmaztec6/25/03
Well done. The perfect blend of homage and good old fashion camp. The actors looked authentic without trying hard. A very old school cool look.
tewmuch6/25/03
nice try anyway
