Vivid Entertainment the makers of Batman XXX have their next porn parody all lined up in: Star Wars. They’ve already cast porn legend Lexington Steele in the role of Darth Vader. Uh, wait a minute….there’s going to be a Star Wars porn parody? WTF? When did this happen or when is it going to happen? How can it happen? Oh man, George Lucas is gonna sue somebody.

I can’t really say I’m surprised to hear about this. In fact, I really can’t believe they had not thought of making one sooner considering the number of successful porn parodies (The Sex Files: a XXX parody, Brauns Batman: XXX Parody, Golden Girls… you get the idea) . Granted Star Wars is an obvious choice to spoof, but still.  How exactly is it legal for a company like Vivid to take the image of a recognizable, copy written character and essentially profit from the brand without getting lynched by George Lucas’s lawyer clone army? I dunno and I really don’t think they can. Yes, porn parodies are in the plenty, but this is different. This is Star Wars. There is no way LucasFilm will allow Vivid to snake it’s way around whatever loose copyright laws the porn industry has. Christ, if I even think about putting a picture up on the Internet of dookie I took that resembles Darth Vader, George Lucas would have me sent to some rebel concentration camp. So, I’m fairly confident Vivid Entertainment is going to encounter quite a few un-passable road blocks. Though, if in the off chance it does get made do you think Han will shoot first?

Now, who’s Lexington Steel? He’s a fairly prominent African American pornographic actor. You might remember him from such classic porn films as Freak Whoes and Flows, Night Stick Black, I Love it Black and the ever so popular Black Butthole Stretchers. All titles that have been nerd tested and bastard approved…by me. Lex is fairly well known for having…. oh, how shall we put it?…a purple light-saber that would make Mace Windu jealous.

From the press release:

Darth Vader may be one of pop culture’s most recognized figures.  Acclaimed actor James Earl Jonesfamously provided the voice of the character and Dave Prowse played the role in costume. Together they created an unforgettable impression of intergalactic evil.

Steele is a multi-dimensional actor/businessman who was the first adult star to win Male Performer of the Year three years in a row along with dozens of other national and international awards. He is a graduate of Syracuse University and was a stockbroker before becoming an actor in the adult industry.

“Axel was totally determined to get Lex for the Vader role, he never even considered anyone else.” saidSteven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid. “We’re all happy that he was available and excited about playing this iconic character.”
