[edit] Star Bores: The Parody
Star Bores is a parody on the Original Trilogy. It tells the story of the bartender Puke Moonwalker and his friends, the aging Jello Knight Oblah-Dee Oblah-Dan, the smugglers Hans Zup and Choccibikki Cookiee, and Princess Liar Origami and their battle against the evil Dark Vizor and his Moon of Doom™. On his quest Puke learns to use the Source by Oblah-Dee Oblah-Dan and the mysterious Jello Master Yoggi, and faces dangerous adversaries like Grabba the Gutt and hordes of evil Stomptroopers.
[edit] Star Bores: The Prequel
The Parody Prequel is obviously a parody on the Prequel Trilogy. It tells the story of the fall of Panikin Moonwalker and his transformation into the evil Dark Vizor. During the Toad Federation's blockade of Yahboo, the Jello Oblah-Dee Oblah-Dan and his Marster Bing-Bong Gin crash-land on the desert planet Toonilooni where they encounter Panikin who is very strong in the Source. They manage to escape to Corusline where they meet senator Palpitate, whose real identity is the evil Dark Hideous. From there they return to Yahboo, where Bing-Bong is killed by the evil and very nearsighted Dark Mole, who in turn is killed by Oblah-Dee. Oblah-Dee takes Panikin as his Paddywack learner.
Ten years later Oblah-Dee, Panikin, the Jello council and an army of Clowntroopers face a new enemy: the schizonphrenic Count Dookula and his Terminateurian henchman Drango Sox. The Clown Wars culminate on the choco-volcanic planet Calorie, which is ruled by Billy Bonka till he gets killed. Frustrated with virtually everything, Panikin turns from the Upside of the Source to the downside and kills virtually everybody except Yoggi, Oblah-Dee, Prodmé and the two droids. In a climactic power-sword duel Panikin is thrown into a pool of choco-lava, only barely surviving as the Dread Lord of the Hith, Dark Vizor.
