EpilogueEdit

A long time ago [blah blah] a really quite good SF film, a sort of western in space, was launched. The special effects were pretty shoddy but it did have some quite good actors in it. And Mark Hammill. A second and third film that were actually the fifth and sixth films followed and they weren't quite so good but they were still quite fun (especially when the teddies got blasted by the Imperial stormtroopers).

Then, the first, second and third films followed and they were actually fairly dreadful though by now the special effects were much better. And the actors were still better than average too. And Mark Hammill was too old to be in it plus his character hadn't been born yet so that was OK.

A Gollancz parody was inevitable. And here it is. An epic told in six chapters. An epic of good versus evil. Of dark versus light. Of hairy co-pilots and green gurus. Of bizarre hair styles, steel bras and camp robots. An epic that starts in the middle. And that's the original...

Inside flapEdit

The Universe is ill. The Universe is lazy. You know how it is. It's not as young as it was. It's expanded a bit. Perhaps it will take up jogging in the evenings when the current series of the X-Wing Factor has ended.

But the Imperial Empire of the Imperium is not happy with the health of its subjects. There must be more exercise, less junk food, not so much salt in the diet. And binge drinking is right out.

So a terrible plan is hatched. And in the dark reaches of space (which to be honest is most of it) a terrifying weapon in the War Against Lassitude is constructed. The size of a moon sized moon. A horrifying amalgam of leisure technology and brutish will: the Death Spa.

But a rebellion against the Imp Emp Imp is growing. A rebellion that will take young Luke Seespotrun on an odyssey across the galaxy and to a meeting with the Dark Lord of the Psmyth, Dark Father (no relation).

SummaryEdit

The story takes place in the production order of the films, rather than the chronological order, starting with episodes 4-6 and ending with episodes 1-3. The bulk of the story concentrates on the character of Luke Seespotrun as he joins the Rebelend in their struggle against the nefarious forces of the Imperial Empire of the Emperium, trying to prevent them from enslaving the entire galaxy.

Due to page restrictions the last three episodes are heavily abbreviated with Episode II being only three chapters and Episode III only one chapter long.
