Just as Star Wars has been around for almost half a century, so have Star Wars parodies. Whether they be “Pigs in Space,” Family Guy, or Robot Chicken, the space opera is especially ripe for satire. But only one parody has become so beloved it’s practically a sci-fi franchise in its own right: Spaceballs, Mel Brooks’ 1987 sendup of the original trilogy.
At this point, Star Wars has rebooted itself with a new trilogy twice over before Spaceballs even got a sequel, but that’s about to change. Brooks, a few months shy of his 100th birthday, has released a video teaser for the next Spaceballs movie, releasing next year, and announced its brand new title.
