With all six original Star Wars films recently landing on Sky Store's Buy & Keep, and the highly-anticipated next chapter hitting cinemas this year, excitement surrounding the most famous of sci-fi franchises is as strong as ever.
The recent arrival of the trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens predictably kicked off a barrage of homages and parodies of every sort you could imagine. Here are some of our favourites from across the franchise:
Sweded
Jack Black's Be Kind Rewind gave us the concept of 'sweding' - recreating film footage on the smallest budget. Nowadays, every hot new trailer seems to reappear on the web in the guise of cardboard and string.
It was only a matter of time before Star Wars went the same way.
Paper Star Wars
What to Read Next
This recreation of the second Force Awakens trailer manages to be both amusing and strangely beautiful.
The running figures and spinning Stormtroopers are particular favourites of ours.
New Hope Minecraft
We have a theory that eventually reality and all fictional worlds will be mapped out inside Minecraft, like The Matrix but with more right angles.
This take on the entire plot of A New Hope is pitch perfect and hilarious.
Lego Star Wars
We've already poured more hours of our lives into the Star Wars Lego games than we can possibly calculate. Days? Weeks? We have no regrets.
A Lego take on the trailer seemed to be inevitable, but we never expected anyone to fire it out just a day after the official version was released.
16-Bit Star Wars
A long time ago on a console far, far away...
The Force Awakens gets a shot of concentrated nostalgia with this pixelated take on the second trailer.
Death Star Canteen
Eddie Izzard has come out with some top-notch comedy in his time. We're willing to argue that his Death Star canteen skit sits up there with his best work, lovingly recreated here in Lego.
We mean, the Death Star must have had a canteen, right? We'll have the penne alla arrabbiata.
Grocery Store Wars
Set in a supermarket far away, a cast of grocery products go to war over organic produce and the power of the 'Farm'.
We're not sure it convinced us to eat more healthily, but it is gloriously strange.
Nic Cage everywhere
This wins the prize for the most bizarre. And we don't just mean the most bizarre take on the Star Wars trailers.
Someone clearly loves Nicolas Cage very, very dearly.
All six Star Wars movies are available on Sky Store's Buy & Keep right now.
