Ep. 51 - The Parodies of Star Wars

This week on Talkin’ Tauntauns we’re discussing Star Wars parodies, including the very first parody inspired by a galaxy far, far away — Hardware Wars. You may recognize some of the other TV shows and films we deep dive: Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Phineas and Ferb, and Fanboys. In revisiting some of this material for the first time in many years we discover that some parodies are better left alone, while others can still make us laugh.


Talkin' Tauntauns is a Star Wars discussion podcast hosted by Jim Lehane and Nicole H. Quinn. From reviews of the latest shows and books, to breaking news and thoughtful interviews, join us as we dive into all things from a galaxy far, far away.
