Star Bores: May the Farce Be with You! the Original Parody/The Parody Prequel

By Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow

Book Overview

Long, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far, far away...(Well, when we say long ago, we mean quite a long time ago; but not THAT long ago-for instance, not right at the beginning of the Universe, because everything was very hot then, and the highest form of life was a sort of worm...) A story of unbelievable heroism and unspeakable villainy, where new but appallingly familiar characters mess about in an hilarious struggle of good versus evil using loads of cool machines. Meet Princess Liar, a heroine who has a problem with the truth; Dark Visor, a mutant with a motorcyc= and Choccibikki the Cookie, Hans Zup, a surrender-oriented hero, and their ship, The Millennium Bug.

Pretty good book, not great

I've read this book, and I thought it was pretty funny. It wasn't hilarious, and it was kind of short, but it was funny. I thought the characters were pretty funny, but one problem with them is that they didn't really seem to be, in the least bit, like the characters in the movie. They seemed just TOO different. Even so, I thoght this was I fun read and you should try it if you didn't like the movie.
