I wonder if the people that made this movie had to ask George Lucas for permission to make fun of Star Wars.

You never have to ask permission to spoof something. If you did, SNL wouldn't have lasted 2 seasons.

You can't, however, sell merchandise based off of that spoof without permission because now you are dealing with copyrighted/patented objects.
