I doubt this will happen, and I really hope it doesn't. Spaceballs doesn't hold up well. IMO it's one of Mel's weakest attempts. A good s
Star Wars parody should be made by fans, Spaceballs just lampoons Sci-fi and merchandising. The only actual Star Wars references are things most casual movie goers would recognize, like Dark Helmet. I tried watching it with my 15 year old (major SW and MB fan) she walked out 1/2 way through.

I'm in the same boat. It really is shlock. I have it on video, watch it occasionally, but only because I'm just used to it. It's on par with Dracula: Dead and Loving It for me, it's crap but it's watchable crap.

I assume this was at home, on DVD? I'm just getting this vision of your daughter getting up off the couch, blank-faced and saying nary a word, and walking out the front door, with you looking around all "WTF just happened".

It was at home, we were about 1/2 way through and I had barely chuckled. She looked at me and asked "do I HAVE to watch this?" I pointed out it IS a Mel Brooks flick her reply.. "well it's no Young Frankenstein". She was excused but I FORCED myself to watch till the end, for the sake of nostalgia. :facepalm

I would be up for a sequel with a completely new cast. For instance, Jerry Seinfeld as dark helmet would be awesome!

Well, let's see.
Bill Pullman - Still Working.
Daphne Zuniga - Hasn't acted in anything anyone has heard of since One Tree Hill in 2012.
John Candy - Died in 1994
Rick Moranis - Retired from acting for all intents and purposes, unless it's a project he's interested in. Spaceballs 2 isn't one of them.
Dick Van Patten - Died in 2015.
George Wyner - Still working occasionally.
Joan Rivers - Died in 2014.
Michael Winslow - Probably has nothing better to do.
John Hurt - Died in 2017.
So there ya' go. Half of the cast is dead, and the careers of the other half are dead. Except for Bill Pullman, and I don't hear anyone screaming for a Lone Starr movie. So, yeah, completely new cast is pretty much a necessity.

Now that you mention it, a Lone starr movie? That might work with a younger actor, it could be all about how he met Barf! A prequel, that's the ticket! It could be called "Lone" a spaceballs story..... I LOVE IT!!!
I would go see that. I would just hope they have the winnebago too.

You know what? The Winnebago should have been the ship Ray & Fin were originally running to on Jakku.... before it was blown, making them then choose the Falcon. :lol

Yeah, but in a prequel and without Lone Starr's special modifications it would just look like this:

Moranis is doing a voice-only cameo on "The Goldbergs" as Dark Helmet. And it sounds like someone else will be on screen.
Not much, but it's something.
