''Hardware Wars'' is a 1978 FanFilm written and directed by Ernie Fosselius. It is a ShortFilm parody of ''A New Hope'', expressed as [[RealTrailerFakeMovie a movie trailer]]. It's not just a low budget, straightforward spoof, though -- the underlying gimmick is that all of the spaceships and even some of the characters have been replaced by household appliances and tools: the [=R2D2=] {{Expy}} is a canister vacuum, the ''Millennium Falcon'' is represented by a steam iron, Star Destroyers are flying toasters and hand-cranked egg beaters, even Stormtroopers have turned into "Steam Troopers", and more.
