Mel Brooks contacted George Lucas and asked if he could make this movie. Lucas was completely on board but did request a few changes. He even agreed to let ILM do the special effects.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Lucas was always pretty cool about Star Wars rip-offs and parodies. He's stated that Hardware Wars is his favorite.

[@synaesthesia2010]

he also requested they do no merchandising which is was lead to the merchandising gag

[@merchillio]

Among the request was that lone star didn’t look like Han Solo, so Brooks dressed him up as Indiana Jones

[@joblo7]

Actually, ILM only did the chest burster alien. The VFX were done by Apogee. A company started by John Dykstra, who was the VFX Sup. on the original Star Wars. However, George Lucas' company did the Sound Effects and Sound Mixing. The group used to be called Sprockets, before they moved and renamed it Skywalker Sound. This was Gary Rydstrom and Randy Thom's first job as Sound Designers.

[@mikealvarez2322]

You may find it hard to believe but Mel Brooks had one of the most dangerous jobs of any soldier in WW2. He was a combat engineer given the task of removing land mines placed by the Nazis. This had a great influence on his future career, which was to make people laugh. He saw so much hatred in the world (Nazi camps) that he felt that the best way to fight hatred was with laughter. I just wish Mel had been right. Seems like hatred for others is still around.

Not just the pill reference but also the Prince Valiant reference.

[@DanielRichards644]

yeah I think it's a generation thing, Valium's patent expired and so a bunch of generics came out and new drugs that work better where found so it's not as used and when used it's referenced as the name of the active ingredient so they don't know it's a sleeping pill and so they don't get why he's always tired.

From what I understand, Lucas gave his blessing, so long as there was no merchandising for the movie. Which is why there's that bit about merchandising when they meet Yogurt. That was a little jab at Lucas.

18:37 Okay, there's actually some fun background here. George Lukas *loved* the script as he was given a copy before the movie was finished so he could okay it. The merchandising company for Star Wars on the other hand, played hardball. Space Balls was not allowed to sell *any merchandise* for like 20 years or something like that. Which is why they had the merchandise scene and...well the company that handled merchandise for Star Wars was The *Schwarz* company.

The money people at the set did not want to pay Lucas a decent salary for Star Wars. They thought it was going to be a B- movie, at best. They gave Lucas the merchandising rights as they saw no monetization of the franchise. Lucas quickly became one of the wealthiest, in hollywood due to producers not wanting to fairly pay him. Brooks played off of that in this movie.

[@thefandom6243]

I don't know the full bts just snippets, but I believe one of the first jokes Mel Brooks thought of was the headphone gag. And when he contacted George Lucas, George had two main request that Mel decided to parody in response to. Mel Brooks was not allowed to make or advertise any sort of products for the movie, so Mel decided to make an advertise products for the movie only within the movie. The main character Lone Star was not allowed to be dressed like Han Solo. So Lone Star is dressed like Indiana Jones, a different Harrison Ford character. The scene where Dark Helmet role plays with the dolls was entirely improv'd by Rick Moranis

[@bigdream_dreambig]

36:33 "Oh, it makes sense: Valium's always sleepy." They also called him a "pill" at the very beginning. 🤦‍♂😝

[@Arsolon618]

The original Star Wars showed everyone why merchandising was so profitable. The reason George Lucas is so rich largely because he negotiated a percentage of Star Wars merchandising profits for himself from the very first movie. Nobody thought it would be that much, but he made a fortune. So by the time Spaceballs was written, movie merchandising was pretty well established.

[@toddjones1480]

Lucas didn't negotiate for what percentage he would get. He just asked for the rights, period. The negotiations over percentages happened later, with the licensees. And decades later he would pioneer new depths of screwing movie theater owners on their percentage of ticket sales.

[@malcolmradosevic]

Mel Brooks said if he could get away with it, the opening scene of the ship flying by would have been two hours long.

to understand Prince Valium, you need to know that back in the 80's and 90's we had this pill called Valium that people took to help put them to sleep, so the joke is "he's a pill" (as Dot Matrix calls him) and he's always sleepy.

[@possibear]

So you might notice the special effects are really good quality... like actual star wars quality, thats because George Lucas gave mel brooks his sfx team with a few terms, one being that no merchandise would be made and sold. And they gl didn't want them to parody han solo. So they parody Indiana Jones and had the running gag showing merch

ILM barely did any work on this movie. Almost every VFX shot was done by Apogee. They had some employees who worked on Star Wars and were in the original ILM building in Van Nuys, but were not connected to Lucasfilm.

Why is it that after having seen this movie a hundred times I still laugh more than these two? Really, I laugh so much at every silly joke. And here the reaction is mostly: that's so silly. Methinks I really do come from another time.

[@Harrison11106]

Some years back Mel Brooks said in an interview that he wanted to actually do "Spaceballs 2: the search for more money". He even said he still had Dark Helmets helmet, he was just waiting on Rick Moranis to UN-retire from acting. Unfortunately that movie is unlikely, too much time has passed. Two of the stars of the original are dead, & at least one, Rick Moranis is retired from acting, & he has shown no inkling of wanting to come back.

This was a fun watch. A lot of reason you don’t see a lot of parody films recently is more that many movie franchises will self-parody. Comedy is interested in nearly all of them. Deadpool movies are often a parody of super hero movies. You also have satire. You don’t see many comedy satires, but we do have dark satire. Such as The Boys is a dark satire of the popular super hero genre. Jordan Peele does horror cultural-satire.

@@michaelpytel3280 I've heard both, but when I mentioned Lucas, everyone corrected me.

16:47 To this day, I will still say "Nice dissolve!" if a movie or tv show has a nice dissolve. Especially if it's a dissolve involving the sun. True story! lol

One of the best parodies or satires is Galaxy Quest.

What a great John Morris score.

[@ericswanson411]

Mel Brooks did get George Lucas's permission to spoof Star Wars. The funny thing about it is George Lucas made a stipulation that they couldn't do any merchandizing for it, and it became a running gag between the two of them which transitioned to the fan base.

Great reaction beauty's this is a great and funny movie and a classic as well and god bless John candy rest in peace movies these days some movies are still good, great or bad, worst but I miss movies like this I hope some day it'll be back we can only hope

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

You can catch John Candy working opposite of Dan Ackroyd in the movie The Great Outdoors and Summer Rental. He was also In National Lampoons Vacation. The Late Joan Rivers was the voice of the android. You can catch Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II and the movie Parenthood.

19:46 - This "soul brother" spaceball minion is actor Tim Russ who played one of the best Vulcan characters in the Star Trek universe, 'Lt. Tuvok'. The show was "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995 - 2001). Don't know if you guys also react to vintage shows or not, but if you do, that would be a great one to watch. Voyager was one of the best of the many Star Trek series. It also introduced the first female captain lead, "Captain Kathryn Janeway" played by actress Kate Mulgrew (of "Orange is the New Black").

[@jazzx251]

Wow - that's something I didn't know Voyager was, in my opinion, the second-best Star Trek series - Janeway was superb; clearly an effort to do a female version of the legendary Picard [no comparison of course, but terrific effort] 1. Star Trek Next Generation 2. Star Trek Voyager 3. Star Trek (original)

[@Whitebrowpriest]

@@jazzx251 - Right on! I also loved Deep Space Nine. Lots of great characters on that show. Captain Benjamin Sisko was amazing!

[@Robert-ht7om]

With a parody like this they are targeting the genre of sci-fi sure Star Wars is the main target, but really the whole genre like Blazing Saddles targeted the Western genre. Doesn't seem weird to have a Brooklyn accent in space as opposed to the British accent will bet in Star Wars.

[@justinchristoph3725]

Watching Mel Brooks films are like watching Monty Python films. They are ridiculous and you just have to embrace it and not think too much about them making sense.

[@UrbanAnywhere]

If you notice, Lonestar is dressed in the style of Indiana Jones.

[@MandalorianRevan]

According to Daphne Zuniga (Vespa) the hardest part about making Spaceballs was not laughing while making it because everything was so ridiculous.

[@user-fg5zx4gz1z]

George Lucas gave Mel Brooks permission to make the film on the condition that no merchandise based upon movie could be sold. As such, Brooks filled the film with Spaceballs merchandise in a cheeky nod to the deal.

The actress playing the nurse is also the captain of the Roger Young in Starship Troopers. The one who gets killed by the door.
