Wolff rating: FAIR
Plot summary: Sendoff of Star Wars movies, a space jockey rescues a princess.
Biased, pithy comments: Though there are some really hilarious moments in this show (including some blatantly funny bumper stickers on spaceships), on the whole it's an uneven exercise in not-quite-funny-enough satire. There are some obvious jokes, some needless bathroom humor, and a generally rough cut. It's odd; Brooks actually writes some very fun romance into his shows---Zuniga and Pullman have some real chemistry (as do Marian and Robin in ``Men In Tights'')---but when the emphasis is supposed to be on knee-slapping humor, it gets lost in the shuffle. Brooks needs a collaborator who can edit his scripts into something much funnier than shows like this one. Skip it unless it's on cable and you're cooking dinner at the time.
Other Notes: William Hurt plays, well, William Hurt getting something launched out of his chest. Again.
