At first I was only going to watch part of this, because 30 minutes is a long time... But it actually held my attention for all 30 minutes.
The filming was done exceptionally well. Each scene flowed into the next. The only part that could have been set up better was the flashback. It took me quite a while to figure out that it was a flashback, hehe. The music was also chosen very well. There was a good mix between Star Wars music and non-Star Wars music... as well as the Star Wars Cantina :p.
The few things that bothered me were kind of minor. First of all, Wookiees physically can't speak basic... but I suppose that adds to the humor. Also some of the voice acting was bad. Not the voice acting itself, but the sound quality. Some of the characters sounded like they were recorded in a very big room, and were tinny. I'm assuming this is just one of the voice actors.
I'm not going to give away too much, because that would ruin it, but I'll tell you it's worth the time to watch it, both for its humor and its quality. Gets an A+ from me, and I'd absolutely love to see a serious film from this author as well. I'd even volunteer my talents... ;)
Just one more thing. Roll the credits a little slower next time... trying to read it hurt my eyes.
