It’s fair to say that the porn industry has come a long way since the era of dog-eared communal magazines and grainy VHS tapes. These days, it’s a multi-million dollar machine, enjoying media coverage and financial investment that a mainstream Hollywood movie studio would envy. One of the key reasons for the irresistible rise of pornographic cinema is it’s ability to stay relevant, managing to showcase and satirize every aspect of modern society. No subject is safe from a bit of sexual spoof, not even Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Pick any big film or TV franchise, and there will almost certainly be a pornographic parody lurking around somewhere in the darkest recesses of the Internet. From the Kardashians, to Sons Of Anarchy and The Simpsons. If you’ve thought of it, so has the porn industry. In fact, in the case of Marvel and DC, the porno versions have actually used material and characters we’ve yet to see in their mainstream equivalents, being as they don’t have to worry about too much their storylines being realistic or making that much sense.
Californian studio Digital Playground is one of the biggest and most prolific pornographic studios, and has already parodied a ton of Hollywood movies. They’ve mined classics such as Kill Bill and Top Gun, as well as more recent big releases like Tomb Raider and Bridesmaids. They also already have two Star Wars releases under their belt, being Star Wars: Underworld and Star Wars: The Last Temptation.
Hand Solo: A DP XXX Parody marks their third journey into the franchise and was released this week, hot on the heels of the authentic Star Wars origin story. Starring porn legends Danny D and Valentina Nappi, as well as Athena Palomino and Carly Rae Summers, its cheeky ridicule of the film franchise is likely to entertain the fans as much as it angers them.
With Han becoming Hand Solo, and Chewbacca evolving into the appropriately monikered Screwbacca, the parody also sees the inclusion of iconic character Boba Fett, now re-branded as Choda Fett. The synopsis for the movie is as follows:
Hand Solo: A DP XXX Parody begins with a smuggler’s ship exploding around a nearby planet, leaving its precious cargo among the wreckage. It doesn’t take long for word to spread and soon every smuggler in the galaxy wants a piece of the prize. Hand Solo (Robby Echo) is joined by his trusty crew of misfits – Raina (Valentina Nappi), Nomi (Athena Palomino) and his trusty sidekick Screwbacca – as they take a perilous journey through space in hopes of becoming the most revered smugglers in space.
In addition to playing Choda Fett, British porn actor Danny D is also the film’s producer, and spoke in a recent interview about how happy he was with the project:
“When we started producing Hand Solo, I decided to build all of the sets in our studio, which allowed us a lot more creative freedom with set design and it really complements the film…We sourced some amazing stylings and costumes, My personal favorite was Screwbacca! Everyone took a selfie with that guy and everyone in the crew wore the costume at some point during shooting….”
