I caught the Family Guy Star Wars special this week on TV, where the original trilogy was given the Griffin Family treatment.
Usually i don't like anyone muckin' about with the first trilogy, but the Family Guy team did a great job, choosing characters well and extracting maximum mirth from the story. Family Guy tends to divide people, you either love it or hate it. I'm in the former category I'm afraid, often tuning in last thing at night to send me off to beddington with a smile.
Who else have given Star Wars their own treatment? The Simpsons? Any British shows? I even saw that the Angry Birds have done a version but i don't know who they are!
Robot Chicken did a couple of episodes based on Star Wars. Have a look on YouTube. Very funny. There's also a fan made series about life in the Imperial military on Youtube which has awesome CG VFX -

The Bash Street Kids in the Beano did a rather good version of "Star Trek", probably in the 1980s.
