Wizard doing it or not, my head hurts.

I'm surprised it wasn't roped into The Matrix universe.

Now there would've been some keen parodying--have the writers throw in some bullet time to 'Cosmic Wars' to make fun of how the 'bullet-time' effect is seen in a lot of movies.

Cosmic Wars is what scientists and movie-goers in the Simpsons universe alike refer to as "a bad ripoff of Star Wars"

I liked that they parodied the bore of all that "emperor" crap, (which also is a bore in the 2nd Matrix). ...but; why did that they have to depict the Star Wars characters as almost exact copies of the original? Their own version of the characters would have been funnier.

By the way, they really dissed George Lucas with the short jokes and all...I thought Star Wars was distributed by Fox. Maybe some bad blood there...

Because it was a bad ripoff of Star Wars in their universe. Bad ripoffs usually have carbon, or maybe zillophone, copies of the original.

That's one of the best Simpsons references I've ever seen.
