I remember when it opened a few years ago but never saw it.  Any fun?  Is it more of like Titanique or like the Friends and Office parodies?

A Musical About Star Wars follows two moronic super fans, Scott (A Gen-X Winger) and Taylor (A Millennial Falcon), who dream of performing their very unauthorized Star Wars musical at New York Comic-Con.  However, dark forces are looming over their production…and her name is Emily. 

It has zero to do with the plot of the film STAR WARS.

If this were for real, it would depend on how good it looks and who writes the music.

It is real.   I looked them up and they had a funny Star Wars/Hamilton parody mash-up they did at Broadway in Bryant Park a few years ago.  Was pretty funny.

It's a musical about Star Wars, or rather about Star Wars fans, not a musical adaptation of Star Wars. I saw it in 2019, before Rise of Skywalker came out. I enjoyed it as a fun evening. I'm not sure if they'll have changed anything in the script after the last movie so it could potentially be a bit different now. At the time it addressed some of the toxic masculinity stuff that can be found with some hard-core star wars fans

Definitely more like the Friends and Office parodies.  Not Titanique.
