    Thumb Wars is IMHO the best Star Wars spoof in history.

    Thumbtanic is just... strange.

    Thumb Wars is IMHO the best Star Wars spoof in history.

    Even better than Spaceballs? :p

    I haven't seen Tumb Wars, but I saw a commercial for it a couple of weeks ago; looks pretty crazy.

    Canderous -- yes, better than Spaceballs.

    What I like about Thumb Wars is that it really targets Star Wars specifically. There are jokes that you only get if you are very familiar with SW. So while it is probably not as good a film in general as Spaceballs (which, don't get me wrong, is very funny, one of my favorite movies ever), it is a better SW spoof.

    Also, Thumb Wars, unlike every Mel Brooks ever, never makes awful pointless jokes. (Brooks IMHO is incapable of discerning a good joke from a bad one and thus makes them all in hopes it works.)


    Rick McCallum loves you!

    Yes, I have... it didn't really thrill me that much. It was good and all, but really disturbing.

    I prefer Hardware Wars. :D

    I personally really enjoyed Thumb Wars. My favourite scene is the meeting room on the 'Death Thumb':

    "I have a question: Why do we all speak in British accents when we're from outer space and there's no Britain?"

    Even friends of mine who are non-Star Wars fans really liked this film.

    I saw it and I didn't care for it at all. I did enjoy Hardware Wars. I also thought Spaceballs was great.

    I own Thumb Wars and I love it. They captured Luke's whining perfectly.

    That is the Funniest film ever! That and of course Space Balls, but Thumb Wars is on my list of best films! :) Ah, have to love how the droids were going to barter the princess for their lives! 8-}

    Althought possibly the strangest character in it is the Chewbacca spoof... Crunchie, is it?

    Absolutely hilarious!

    Best part was the look given right before the line:

    "That's no moon!"

    Borrowed it from a friend and watched it 5 times before I gave it back.

    I saw some of it at Gamestop the other day. I don't think I could get past the unbelievable creepiness of their look. If I watched it all the way through, I might like it better.

    Hardware Wars still reigns supreme. Chewchilla forever!
