But if you have never done so, do yourself a huge favour and visit this website:
http://ter.air0day.com/archives.php
It is called The Editing Room and they specialise in "abridged" movie scripts.
You will find The Phantom Menace along with its evil twin Attack of the Clones among the movies on the site.
I am sure you will enjoy them.

Battle for the Galaxy--read the "other Star Wars"
All I know is I haven't seen the real prequels yet.

Actually, I've read a lot of the other ones, and they really are very stupid. AOTC is really the only good one, SW, ESB, and ROTJ were all kinda stupid as well.

The quality of the parodies on this website vary a bit - some are really excellent and some are really weak. They may have a few different writers doing it.
But I'm glad you guys enjoyed the Attack of the Clones one.

The Imperial Walker armor is too
strong for blasters! Tie their
shoelaces together!
The Imperial Walkers fall. Once they do, the rebels shoot
them with the exact same blasters they used before that were
ineffective. The Walkers explode this time, though. The
battle ends, MARK and R2D2 go to see Yoda and the other
PRIMARY CHARACTERS go elsewhere.
SO TRUE!!!

Regarding the blasters verses the Walkers armor situation. When the Walkers collapsed their armor became damaged and exposed allowing the more delicate parts of the walkers to be hit. I think it is somewhere in that massive Star Wars technical guide-thingey they came out with on CD-Rom a few years back.

If the shields are generated by lots of complicated electronics or machinery and these, while inside the main body of the Imperial Walker, fall from a great height at speed, I imagine that they could get broken.
If you lifted a car with a fork-lift and dropped it, I'd bet there'd be a few things that wouldn't work afterwards. And it's perfectly believable that it would be the same for the Imperial Walkers.
However, that said, for the sake of a bit of fun, I didn't mind that part of the parody. I didn't find it particularly funny but with such things, you take what you want from it. I haven't read The Empire Strikes Back one recently but I think there a few good lines in there.

Last night, I looked at a few more and I found that Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was pretty funny, as was U-571.
I'd just suggest that if you're flipping through them and they don't grab your attention straight away, then just skip to another one.
And you're right - it is difficult to parody good movies. I did find the Return of the Jedi one funnier than the others but I'm not going to argue its merits here.
It's still a Star Wars movie (unlike the prequels) and it's a lot more entertaining than a lot of other things I've seen.
