A new era began for the Star Wars saga when the franchise was acquired by Disney in 2012. One year earlier, porn director Axel Braun brought down the curtain on the first epoch of Star Wars classics with a rousing, big-budget parody of the 1977 original. The announcement of the project generated plenty of buzz in industry circles, akin to the buildup to the Star Wars prequels themselves in the 1990s. By this point, Braun had shown himself to be a master of porn adaptations, with a filmography boasting such faves as Batman XXX, This Ain’t Star Trek XXX, and many more.
Looking back on it a decade later, it’s safe to say that Star Wars XXX still holds up as a porn classic. The first stand-out aspect is the movie’s spiffy Hollywood look. To be sure, it can’t match the multi-million-dollar razzle-dazzle of the actual Star Wars trilogy, but for an adult movie, it has a remarkably slick production value. Location work, costumes, and visual effects all admirably replicate their mainstream inspiration, sweeping you into a convincing version of a galaxy far, far away that’s spiced up with explicit sex. Said Die Screaming’s Dan C. at the time, “Axel Braun has really put together something special with this porn parody, managing to keep true to the look and feel of the original source material, while injecting a healthy amount of tongue-in-cheek humor. The graphics look amazing (A porn movie with a Death Star and space battles? Yes, please.), the casting is dead on, and Axel Braun’s reputation for creating highly entertaining porn parodies all combine to make Star Wars XXX something I’m really, really excited for.”
Seth Gamble, looking at his most boyishly handsome, steps into the role of Luke Skywalker, the young farmhand who longs to join the galactic rebellion in the stars above him. He actually doesn’t have an outright sex scene until the movie’s end, however, allowing supporting characters Princess Leia (Allie Haze), Obi-Wan (Tom Byron), and Darth Vader (Lexington Steele) to enter the fray. Haze, like Carrie Fisher before her, proves that you actually can look sexy with the zany bagel-esque hairstyle that defines the character’s look in A New Hope. In Braun’s version, Leia ends up performing oral sex on Vader himself after his attempt at interrogation flounders. (Even casual Star Wars fans might note that in the original trilogy, Vader ends up being Leia’s father, but we’ll assume that tidbit is not actually canon in Braun’s universe.)
Byron, an industry legend with a filmography stretching back decades, is given the juiciest role of his later career in wise mentor Obi-Wan. His dalliance with Jennifer White, who would go on to many dazzling performances herself, is one of the movie’s highlights. Only in the Star Wars porn world would Obi-Wan find himself in a clinch with one of Tattooine’s fierce Tuskan Raiders! There’s even a bit of Wookie action later in the movie — no, seriously — as Han Solo’s co-pilot slides into a threesome with Eve Lawrence and Brandy Aniston. As Solo himself observes in the 1977 original, it’s always best to let the Wookie win. Solo himself joins Luke in a closing threesome with Leia.
Braun announced potential sequels to the movie, even mounting a crowd-funding campaign at one point, but to date, Star Wars XXX has not been followed up with an Empire Strikes Back porn parody.
