OK, taking on Star Wars: Episode 1 is like killing trade droids with a lightsaber: no challenge at all. What is a challenge is doing a 70 minute deconstruction of the movie, completely eviscerating it from both a critical and emotional standpoint, and making it completely hilarious in the process. Plus, there’s random digressions, a totally bizarre narrator, and a startling basement scene that you won’t see in an Ebert review. Well worth watching: the first part embedded here, the other 6 parts linked after the jump.

Okay My mind broke during part two. I’ll need to check my meds again.
Awesomely disturbing.

Holy crap, that thing got weird in part 2. Chatty wasn’t kidding. I seriously can’t finish watching the rest of it, despite the fact the Star Wars commentary was cogent and accurate.
Yeah, I was very thankful that Rampant Coyote linked to the third episode first. This is where it should really start — the only thing you really miss is this part.
Pure gold! Hilarious, if a bit disturbing. Finally puts to rest the notion that episode 1, and for that matter the prequels, are anything other than a waste of time and an utter failure.
