Mel Brooks revealed in a recent interview with Playbill magazine that he is working on a sequel to his 1987 Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs, the Ain't-It-Cool-News Web site reported. "I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face," Brooks said. "Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right to have anyone else play Yoghurt, and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles."
Brooks said that he'd like to have the film in theaters around the same time as George Lucas' upcoming prequel, Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, which opens May 19, 2005. "Best-case scenario: a week before the new Star Wars opens," he said. "Worst-case scenario: a year after the new Star Wars opens."

Think on that, and be dismayed
What do you do to a man who has lost everything?
Give him back something broken

I very much hope Brooks can get the film out around the same time as Episode III. They say that in comedy, timing is everything. The reason why Spaceballs didn't make much of an impact was because it came out way too late--FOUR years after the release of Return of the Jedi! Star Wars mania had seriously died down by '87, so I'm sure a lot of people then were looking at Spaceballs and wondering: why did Mel Brooks even bother? So I really hope he doesn't miss the boat again.

So long as it's titled Spaceballs II : The Search for More Money.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Halfway down the stairs Is the stair where I sit. There isn't any other stair quite like it. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair where I always stop.
Wonder if Bill Pullman will be in it again.....

Dunno, but I doubt we'll see Ralph again. *mournful sigh*
