This short is first and foremost a parody, with its gimmick being lifted from "Shakespeare in love", only condensed and exaggerated in a brilliant manner. It takes you back to when George Lucas was writing Star Wars, and shows how his environment influenced the script he was writing. Obviously, the movie is not based on Lucas' true story, it's all fictionalized and quite ridiculous.
Some complain that the movie is too short, but its one gimmick would only last that long. The ending, as it is, is great. In addition to parodying Shakespeare in love and George Lucas, it also says something in general about inspiration. It's also structured in a way where the "gags" keep surprising you, as they are in no clear order, and you never know how many more there will be.
Obviously it's the most fun if you are a fan of Star Wars, but it is really enough to have a general sense of the characters and the plot of Star Wars to see this. You also don't have to have seen Shakespeare in Love.
