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."

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.

Yes, timing is everything, but to those of us who were SW junkies Spaceballs was just about the funniest movie ever. I will definitely see this movie.
