This will not help your insomnia, but you're the only person I know who would get it, and it might cheer you up.
In the shower earlier, I had a sudden, entertainingly anachronistic idea: a parody of Star Wars by the cast of the Jack Benny Program. With Jack as Ham ("That's Han! Han!") Solo, Rochester as Chewbacca, Dennis Day as Dennis O'Skywalker, Mary as Princess Leia, Phil Harris as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Don Wilson as C-3PO, Mel Blanc as R2-D2, and of course Fred Allen as Darth Vader. Naturally, there would also have to be at least one "Kitzel Run" joke...
Okay, that's inspired and really hilarious to boot. Throw in a guest appearance by Andy Devine either as Greedo or Jabba the Hutt and I think we're on to something here.
With the Maxwellium Falcon, and Frank Nelson as all of the stormtroopers.
Phil: These aren't the droids you're looking for, pal. Frank: I beg your pardon? Jack: He said, these aren't the droids you're looking for! Frank: Oooh, aren't they?
