The Star Wars franchise doesn’t get many opportunities to poke fun at itself. That’s a shame, as its central story, riddled as it is with weird plot holes and accidental gags, is often ridiculous. So many of these have become cherished inside jokes, while some fans have even taken it upon themselves to remix parts of the saga to their liking. The fandom’s imagination has powered a parallel Star Wars universe for decades, and while those two worlds rarely intersect, the latest entry in the Star Wars canon offers a delightful crossover informed by fan meta-commentary.
