      With Mel Brooks producing there’s definitely hope. Depending on how much he’s producing. The man doesn’t likely need the money. And likely wouldn’t want to tarnish the original and his legacy for a cash grab.

      Plus there’s been more star wars produced post the original than there was before. And no end of directions to go.

      I was literally commenting to someone the other day how I’ve missed any quality entries in the spoof genera. Scary Movie started out okay in the late 90s early aughts. But like every other spoof series of the era they all derailed and became poorly written stories stuffed with pointless meta. That failed at their basic task. Being entertaining. Naked gun/police squad or airplane may not have been all that original. And they had their meta too. But on the whole it all holds up better because of the writing and performers. After all not everyone can be Top Secret and have an under water western bar fight.

        if history of the world part 2 is anything to go by having Mel attached is definitely not reassurance off quality. but hey good on him for getting a payday.

        The story needs to be about creative bankruptcy and corporate greed, because that is Disney Star Wars.

        Not just Star Wars, but Battlestar Galactica, too. I mean Lonestar was clearly Starbuck!

        This could be the first good thing Josh Gad had ever done…I guess

        How dare you. Book of Mormon wouldn’t have been the same without Elder Cunningham.
