Don’t claim to be a Star Wars fan if you don’t know this crew! Spaceballs premiered on this day in 1989! 🪐 Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs (1987) is a legendary sci-fi parody that follows rogue mercenary Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his loyal “maw” sidekick Barf (John Candy) as they race against time to rescue the stubborn Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the clutches of an evil empire. In their chaotic quest to save the galaxy’s air supply, the duo must outsmart the comical villain Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and seek the wisdom of the mystical, merchandise-obsessed master Yogurt (Mel Brooks). #spaceballs #starwars #johncandy #jedi #90s
