'Os Trapalhes na Guerra dos Planetas' (lit: 'The Bunglers in the War of the Planets') is a 1978 Brazilian comedy film directed by Adriano Stuart. It is the thirteenth film of the Brazilian comedy group Os Trapalhes, starring Renato Arago, Manfried Sant'Anna, Antonio Carlos, and Mauro Faccio. The film is a parody of the American film 'Star Wars'. Outside of Brazil, mainly in English-speaking countries, this film is known by the suggestive title of 'Brazilian Star Wars'. It features characters resembling Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and Stormtroopers.[http://trapalhoesnostalgia.com/film_tr_planetas.htm Os Trapalhes na Guerra dos Planetas - Trapalhes Nostalgia]
