To Spoof or not to Spoof

I saw Star Wars: Episode 3, The Revenge of the Sith today. After that I went home and watched the Mel Brooks version. I must say that the Mel Brooks version is much better than the original. Now don't get me wrong. Episode 3 is much better than the first 2 (much like the 1980's Tampa Bay Buccaneers were better than, well I can't think who they were better than). I just believe that Mel Brooks has a better grip on what it takes to tell a story than does George Lucas. Good ole' George depended too heavily on computers to tell the story for him. The line between live action and cartoon was crossed so many times that it was hard to keep switching mental modes. That and Mel Brooks just knows comedy. Much like his Robin Hood Men in Tights, he successfully lampoons a higher budget but worse movie. So to all you nerds out there who are up in arms ready to storm my castle and burn me out with your torches and pitchforks, I say bring it. I would prefer to laugh than weep over the fall of a character I could never care for any day.
