Tim Jonze has never seen Star Wars, and writes about what he thinks happens in the film:
The baddies are all white and called Stormtroopers and led by a black
stormtrooper called Darth Vader. The baddies storm (that's all they can
do - that and troop) on to the white circular ship. It's time for Luke
to be heroic and say to his collection of really weird mates: "May the
force be with you." It works: the baddies all end up getting killed,
whereas nobody on the goodies' side worth caring about dies. This is
some achievement considering it's an army of trained soldiers against a
2ft robot and a camp rug.
And then he actually watches the film:
My version began with the words: "It is the future." The actual version
kicks off with: "A long time ago ..." Not the best of starts! Although
you can probably forgive me for thinking that intergalactic robot
battles might not have happened some time around the Tudor period.
(...) My worst mistake, though, was Obi-Wan Kenobi. There was I, imagining this flying ninja thing with long legs and an alien's head. Turns out it's Alec Guinness in my mum's dressing gown! Who knew?
