Disney and Lucasfilm join forces to bring kiddies and their young-at-heart parents "Phineas and Ferb Star Wars." It marks the Mouse House's first real stab at lampooning and honoring George Lucas's space opera since the company bought the Galaxy Far, Far Away. I'm not counting Mickey and Donald donning Jedi shrouds and stormtrooper armor at Disneyland.

Phineas and Ferb are joyfully relaxing in the glow of Tatooine's twin suns a couple of summers ago in a galaxy far, far away. The two boys and Agent P are suddenly thrust into the middle of a galactic rebellion when the plans for the Death Star fall into their hands. Can they overcome the forces of evil and Stromtrooper Candace? Will Agent P prevent Darthenshmirtz from using his Force-powered "Sith-Inator?" "Phineas and Ferb Star Wars" runs parallel to "Episode IV: A New Hope." While Phineas and Ferb are embarking on their adventures, they cross paths with Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca as they race to escape the Death Star and bring the hidden plans of the space station to the Rebels. It's funny to see how their actions inadvertently affect what goes on in the original 1977 movie.

It's also entertaining to see the characters, planets, and starships realized in the animated style of "Phineas and Ferb." Other familiar faces from the "Star Wars" saga turn up as well. Ferb adapts Darth Maul's look when he turns to the Dark Side. Jabba the Hutt and his motley crew of creatures show up as well.

Although it's rated G, "Phineas and Ferb Star Wars" does contain some jokes only parents will get. A couple of them I found unnecessary, but children won't understand them. However, older teens might grasp the double-entendres.

"Phineas and Ferb Star Wars" is a successful mashup between the two Disney worlds. I'm sure we'll be seeing many more such crossovers very soon. I welcome them all if they're crafted as well as this one.

When Disney bought Star Wars, people were totally against this. And when this crossover was announced, the hating towards Phineas and Ferb (especially in Latin America, where it is one of the most hated series ever, unlike USA and the English-speaking countries where the show is a hit) increased a lot. But I knew this was gonna be good, and totally better than Mission Marvel.

And you know what? I was right.

The episode is awesome. Not kidding. The story takes place during the events of "A New Hope", and unlike the usual parody in which the main characters act as Luke, Leia and the rest, in this one nobody replace the main members of the cast. Also, most of the actions that Phineas and Ferb do have their consequences in the original story.

The Star Wars characters don't appear too much, and when they do, they make really funny scenes.

But the most interesting thing is the humor. It was very adult, even dark I would say, for a Disney show. Many people consider Phineas and Ferb as a kids show, and they're totally wrong. And although the adult humor is in a lot of episodes... here it was taken to a superior level. Phrases like "Darth Vader can kiss my bantha", seeing Isabella blasting at Vanessa and Candace, or Darth Vader actually killing someone by hanging him with the force are things that don't appear that much in actual Disney.

The songs are really nice, and for the "Phinbella" shippers, there is also a little fan-service scene at the end that they will love.

This one is possibly the best Star Wars parody. I'm in love with the Family Guy: Star Wars episodes, but Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars is at the same level of awesomeness. Watch it. You would enjoy it until the end.
