As we return to this galaxy far, far away, the Spaceballs characters are reprised and the story is retold for a new generation of fans. Similar to the feature film, which parodied iconic science fiction movies, the all new animated chapters parody the biggest blockbusters of today, such as The Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars franchise and Jurassic Park, as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to pop culture, politics and games, such as Grand Theft Auto.
The four back-to-back chapters which will kick off the animated production include:
“Revenge of the Sithee”
"Spaceballs" continues to spoof the "Star Wars" franchise with this parody of the three latest movies. "Revenge of the Sithee" traces Dark Helmet's journey from a young slave named Panickin' Crybaby to a master of the schvartz side of the Schwartz, featuring pod-racing, a battle with Outlet Maul and the satisfying death of Jar-Jar Binks.
“Grand Theft Starship”
Lone Starr is addicted to a new video game, Grand Theft Starship, and Vespa is jealous. Things only get worse when, thanks to some frustrated button mashing, they find themselves trapped inside the game. Skroob and Dark Helmet take the opportunity to lead a revolt among the game characters who are sick of players like Lone Starr stealing all their cars. To escape, Lone Starr and Vespa will have to get past their toughest challenge yet: the game's final boss!
“Lord of the Onion Rings”
When Barf accidentally unearths the mighty, evil Onion Ring, Skroob sends Dark Helmet and his minions after it. Yogurt warns Lone Starr and the gang that Skroob will become all-powerful if he gets hold of the ring. Forming the Fellowship of the Onion Ring, the gang embarks on a perilous journey to destroy the ring by casting it back into the forge where it was created: the Deep Fryer of Lardor.
“Watch Your Assic Park”
In this parody of the Jurassic Park movies, Skroob uses advanced pseudoscience to “enhance” his favorite athletes with dinosaur DNA, so his teams can dominate all sports in the galaxy. Lone Starr and the crew get trapped in Watch Your Assic Park with these terrifying dino-jocks, and their only hope of survival is to flee to the Hall of Fame, where juiced-up athletes are forbidden.
