Bah, can't believe I hadn't thought of that before!
One or two may be familiar with the successful German spoof film "Traumschiff Surprise" (a successor of this Winnetou parody), a parody of Star Trek TOS and Star Wars, along with dozens of other unrelated targets.
Curiously, the Star Wars part is mostly influenced by TPM: a Naboo-like (or maybe Coruscant) conference room with a "queen" as a main character, general prequels look, some ship that looks like a racepod, and a villain called "Maul" taking orders from a Sidious cartoon - he even rides around on a speederbike and flies down a scrap in the desert!
With a Vader helmet and an "I'm your father" spoof mixed inbetween, of course...
An interesting example, because this movie has as many rather hilarious gags and performances in it, as rather lame and flat OTT and slapstick humor (comparable to the Ali G movie, I'd say), providing its relation to the Phantom Menace with multiple levels of irony at once :D
