The Burger Menace by Mark Wutka - Comedy - Young Anakin Skywalker works for Obi-Wan Kenobi at McDonald's. He occasionally uses the force on customers and has a habit of cutting of his hand. - pdf, format 8)

I hope this is enjoyable. I didn't realize when I wrote it that Burger King is promoting Revenge of the Sith, I guess it was a lucky accident.

If you like this kind of thing, I have also been doing a fictional blog of a guy named Kenni who is a crewman on board the U.S.S. Enterprise in the days of Kirk and Spock. It is called "Kenni From Engineering" and is at http://kennifromengineering.blogspot.com

I read it and it's pretty funny, it'd be hilarious as a flash animation short, you know.

Hey, man.  This is funny as s**t!

It is very short (and timely, too), and I recommend it to everybody who is even slightly interested.

You could do a lot with this idea.  Stretch it out some more.  Have Annie and what's-her-face out on a date at the mall.  The Darth Mall, if you will.

It's not as good as Thumb Wars, but still much better than parts one and two.

Ziggy W, I agree that a flash animation would be a good, cheap way to do the story. I'm afraid I'm not the person to do it, though. If you ever saw some of my cartoons, you'd know that I am a lousy artist. It might also make an amusing fan film if someone had the urge.

Phil, thanks for the suggestion. It does feel like the dating scene has some good possibilities. I'll have to explore them!

Hey Wutka, if you'd like, we can get in contact and turn "The Burger Menace" into a short fan film.  I've got friends and relatives that would totally be willing to do it.  They got some real nice film and editing equipment as well.  My email is scarspangledkc@yahoo.com and my AIM screen name is Soulcrusher87.  Contact me if you're interested.

Nice.  That would make a great flash... unless someone had the resources to make this with good-looking props.

That was excellent, I couldn't stop laughing!

Am I the only one who thinks it took most of the 'standard' jokes.

- The Jedi Mind Trick
- Anikin Losing his hands

Before I read it I could see what's coming up.

Still the plot is fairly original, you'd probably need more gags though.

Hey man, so what?  I think they were at least original in the way they were done.  That's what parody is all about.  I'm sure I could totally get the resources to turn this into a fan film.  That's be awesome, wouldn't it?
